Ok I have a question how did you customize your the color of your main VMC

    if filename =~ /\.(avi|mpg|mpeg|mp4|divx|mkv)$/
       
        puts filename
       
        episode = get_details(Pathname.new(filename), refresh)
       
        if episode
            puts "found: #{episode.episode_number} - #{episode.name} - #{episode.series.name}"
            begin
              episode.fix_name! if fixnames
            rescue
        puts "Error: " + $!
      end
        else
            puts "no data found for #{filename}"
        end
       
        puts
    end

Hi Sambo,

this is a great enhancement to media center.

ive now got the latest beta installed.

The look and feel is very nice, works very quickly on my rig.

there are just a few things that id like to mention that could improve it.

1. Support for extenders. Whilst i can launch it from the Pictures & Videos strip, it starts but is empty.

2. An option to generate thumbs for the avi files (same as generated by windows/wmp11/vmc)

3. I seem to have an issue where in certain folders where multiple avi's are located, when i select that folder it just plays one of them without showing me the contents of the folder or giving me a choice.

If you were able to address those 3 points i can wave goodbye to the 'Videos' in VMC for good.

Really nice app and thanks for sharing :)

 

I use this app with my extenders and it works fine.  In my case, I use shortcuts to view and navigate video folders.  For my extenders, I place the shortcut in the Video folder located within the USER folders for the extender (e.g. MCX1...).  I alos think the extender can not use mapped drives, so my shortcuts use UNC such as //servername/serverfolder/moviefolder.

no (windows) extender would play VIDEO_TS folders or MKVs. They are stuff as dreams are made on

Hi all, first I want to say thanks for this outstanding Plugin! Can someone please tell me why this Plugin doesn’t allow me to Fast Forward nor Rewind avi files? I even try Media Control Plugin, but I’m still not able to Fast Forward and Rewind avi files. Am I doing something wrong? I’m running Vista SP1 with TV Pack. Any help is certainly appreciated.

JonL.:

I do have MediaControl installed, but I have FF/RW functionality all disabled.  I use it only for the automatic bookmarking.

Regardless, I am able to FF/RW on Media Center systems that do not have it installed also.

Well, it must be TV Pack because I don't think I'm able to skip....
