your're very quick...

another question:

in every of the folder that i play now with your tool is a m3u-file, which  contains  all mp3 files of the folder sorted the way i want (that means sorted by track). do you think there is a possibity that your tool uses the m3u-file ?

OR

you already offer "sorted by name" and "sorted by date" - i want your tool to play the mp3-files in the folder "sorted by  track".  so you think that' s possible to implement?

thanks and regards
rainer

Hello, I had to sign up to TGB to post my sincere gratitude to TIP for creating this plugin. Most of my audio collection's tags are intact, but it will never be perfect, however my folder structure and file naming is one thing that is consistent in my collection. This application is fantastic and quite frankly, this folder view should have been a standard option in VMC's music views.
The fact that TIP is updating his plugin so quickly with user requests and fixes is itself a reason to download this app.
I have 1 question for TIP since he seems to know his MCML coding very well, can long file names be scrolled when they don't fix the name space? Kind of like a Marquee effect. This has forever bugged me with all Microsofts Media software. Names just don't fit into spaces and get cut off. Surely it's possible to scroll long file names, such as XBMC does? If you could implement this into your LIST view that would be awesome!

Thanks !
Marquee is possible and I will implement it in the next realise.
But it's time for me to go on holidays...
see you soon

Awesome plugin! Just thought I'd say thanks.

I'm a little unsure, but when you say create a virtual folder, do you mean create a notepad document with "folder: x:/
 folder: z:/"

and then rename it with a .vf suffix?
or is there something more complicated here?

Hi

Nice app. Just thought I'd let you know. I get an unhandled exception when I select a .ram file (bad tag ID). I don't know if it's just this file or all .ram.

I can send you more details if needed but I not in front of my Media Center at the mo

 

This is truly the best written MCE plugin i've EVER seen! It's properly integrated, fast, easy to configure, reilable and has the features it should have, but not more (no big bloated crap).

Now... let's put this headside down:
What about making a "movie search" plugin? With movies, you must browse by folder (like you DON'T can without music browser pluging with music! ironic...).

I have all my music at one drive, but my movies is spread around in like .... 11 drives. And I have NO idea what lies where, so i have to browse through 100 folders each time.

So... a searchable movieplugin?

Just another user joining to say thanks for the app, 90% of my music is well tagged but I still prefer the folder view with srtwork, works a treat, great job.....:)

Ogre:

Oh this is too cool. Exactly what I needed for audio podcasts in MCE. I use the Zune software to download them and WMP always screwed up the tags and stuff. This is perfect, I can browse to a folder and pick a podcast. Not sure why that was so hard for MS to do. Har har.

I'm a total noob so can someone walk me through how to use this application to listen to podcasts in VMC?  Thanks!

I love this app! Old School music browsing. Database.. we don't need no stinking database. Show me a directory with a file in it! Only one request, The app does not run on my xbox 360 extender. It works fine on the pc however. Any thoughts? Thanks

Yes just create a txt file then rename it with the vf extension

Yes you can give more details, or send me a ram file for testing.

It will be hard for me because i haven't any extender at home...
Can you give more details on the problem :
can you launch the plugin ?
Do you get error messages ?

Hello TIp,  I just fired up my xbox box extender to give you the exact error only to find it is now working! I made no changes to the system. If I remember it was and unable to launch error, The program would not actually open.  If it acts up I'll give you a shout. In my book your app beats music library anyday. Thanks Again!
