Music and iTunes Library Plugin Setup details

[jcalton88]

Open the musicplugin.xml and delete everything in it, and replace it with this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I've already edited the xml, those settings (should) work

Be sure to delete the cache from the programdata folder before running MB. Also, the newest version in the trunk changed the XML file, the code you pasted in your last post was from an old XML configuration, it might have been causing the problems.

Whipped this up for the icon, feel free to use it if you like it.



Also have this one I made

Ok, I just built 1379 and here is what I did.

You getting that error because you did not delete the musicplugin.xml when you updated to this revision. The XML changed between the two. You should notice the different format if you compare the xml in the post you did and that post that jcalton88 did.

Thanks for all the help jcalton88, nice "icons" btw ...

[jcalton88]

No problem, it took a little bit to get it going but its going good now, :-). And why the quotations?! They are based off the Setting Suns icons, look very good in MB.

[Nephelyn]

Quotes because traditionaly icons are 16x16, lol - how things change ...

[jcalton88]

Well those are for Media Browser, so in turn made for Media Center, which is all about the 10 foot experience, can't have a 10 Ft experience with 16x16 icons, gotta have 5 foot icons!

Lol

[Nephelyn]

LOL 10 foot yeah - It bothers me a bit that people are having problems setting this plugin up. I wonder if it might be the extra complications of building, building, building and installing etc.

[jcalton88]

I'm not sure, it could be... I think it has a lot to do with all the changes MB has undertaken in the past week, lol. I do know that once I got the itunes library to read, it reads perfectly every time. I think it may be the having to write out the entire path, somethings getting tripped up. Are you going to move the setup to the configurator?

[Nephelyn]

I cant presently add it to MB configurator, unless i change the the core code in a very generic way. I could probably build my own one. Need to talk to sam and the boys and come up with something. Dont have too much time of my hands though, that is why i fixed everything i could this week end.

Ok have narrowed down the problem i was having if you have ANY video file in the music folders and have it set as a vf configuration it breaks the plugin everytime.
