1. Can you select a genre? It doesn't look like it.
2. Can you import M3U files? I've exported my playlists from iTunes but don't know what to do with them.

Thanks

New features

- Search and save Album Art (folder.jpg) from musicbrainz.org,
discorg.com and last.fm from the track dialog (on track)
- Pause icon on Jukebox views
- Other plugins can start MB4 in Random mode
- Play can now be used to add to Playlists while music is playing.
- If found, the Jukebox views will display the ID3 track artist
instead of the album artist

ML3 Additions

- Added ability to use File System Watchers to drastically reduce the
need for scanning. Does require some PC resources but it was something I used
- Do database updates scan from Options popup.
- Show correct running time on NMT

Changes
- fixed database import from ML3
- update scan is not just on date but will also update if file not in database
- misc bug fixes (probably a few added).

Note that this will be the last release that will try to stick to the ML3 database format. I encourage all ML2/ML3 users to upgrade now.

Finally thanks again to ACTCMS and Jaggy for their valuable comments and feedback. I encourage everyone to upload their feedback too, I may not always agree but I will always listen.

For those that have not used MusicLibrary 3 with GBPVR, MB4 is not filesystem based, it uses a database to gather information from music tags and your files. After installing you will need to go into the config screen and do a scan to read in files. For me this takes about 1000 files a minutes. Once you have scanned files spend a bit of time in MB4. It probably will seem odd and maybe slow, but once you get the hang of the navigation it can be easier on big collections. When trying it out you probably should try choices on the menu.

Feel free to read more on the wiki.

Many thanks to Jaggy and ACTCMS for all their help in the design and changes in MB4 and for their comments and alpha testing. Even though this is the first release and I consider it beta they helped make things a lot easier. Of course thanks to psycik for MusicLibrary a lot of it is left intact. Finally thanks to sub for the help as I learned more about skinning and plugins, I almost get it now.

Anyway, I've had this same issue every time I've tried to use ML2/ML3, either one. I just recently blew away all the old ML2 and ML3 stuff and did a fresh install of the last ML3 release. It still never finds all my music.

I keep all of my music on a server the whole house can access. I map a drive letter in my XP GB PVR box to the music directory on the server. In the past, I've tried to just add that drive to the system paths, but it wouldn't find all the music files. There are several directories on my server under music, like 'kids' and 'christmas' and 'mystuff' and 'mywifes', etc. This time I added each of those directories as a separate system path, nuked the db and then did a scan. Once again, it still only found a really random sampling of the music I showed it under the system paths.

I know its not tag related, because very recently (this summer) we redid every single tag to get everything right for a load onto an mp3 player for a long road trip we took. Let me tell you, that was a chore ;- )

Anyway, any ideas? Its really, really random what shows up in the lists. I'd get two country artists, and a couple of my stuff, and a bunch of the stuff from my wife's directory, and a christmas album here and there, and then some of the albums are incomplete, etc.]]>

I was able to use the record features in manual, auto record and quick record. Recorded tv programs well with medium quality. I would like to get the recordings down in size from the usual gig and over files per hour. My goal is to record tv shows for web uploads like megaupload and share with my friends and family but would like to get the files recorded and converted to XviD and in AVI. format with little quality loss.
I have a few questions. If anyone would help I would greatly appreciate it. I included a screenshot.

1. I do not know how to actually have the program perform a conversion in the conversions process mode (XviD) format and would like to test out a show for file size and quality.
2. Is this actually possible to convert recorded shows to Xvid format ?
3. Is there a pluggin for AVI. conversion or maybe GBPVR already can?
4. Is there a pluggin to compress video to avi with XviD codecs with little quality loss. I do know of programs that do this but I was wondering if GBPVR can perform the conversion and compression.


Any help would be appreciated. thanks again my email is oc3ddie@yahoo.com]]>
