Movie Info Plugin Beta Release.

**EL CAMINO** · 10-02-2009, 07:10 PM

Extention plugin, to retrieve movie information . this PI was created for the Ranger Skin by Carputer1, got a couple of pm's asking for it, so here it is. very simple and easy to skin/use. be aware that only works in video_browser.skin and needs a CL not a DL.

Fixed bug, in "List" command thanks carputer1.
Added Video Preview (needs WMP ver 7 or above.)

this is how i got my movies saved.
D:\Media\Videos ---->
-----------------------\Coraline---->
-------------------------------------\Corline.avi
-------------------------------------\folder.jpg
------------------------------------- \movie.nfo

----------------------- \Saw ------>
------------------------------------ \Saw.avi
-------------------------------------\folder.jpg

Nice, however I would be wary of a cease and desist from the website in question if it get's noticed.

I would recommend you remove the website name.

Or just wait for the letter your ISP gets when you try using this and get flagged as a scraper.

Yea this should be pulled.... definitely violates their TOS.

well i have been useing the old version of this for some time now , it has never let me down yet , 1 good thing about this is , that it saves the info found to the video folder , so you don't have to scrap the site everytime , i have done most of my videos, then i switch the download function off, till i add another video to my collection. as for scaping its not getting the info in the way you think, there's a few little tricks in this plugin, on the way it gets the info. yes it is getting the info from the "name of plugin" but not directly.

Ok, I was just testing this to see if I could get it to work....

How are you getting the path to the videos to display the list? When I use the skin included, the directory list is empty. When I switch to my standard Video_Browser.skin, the list shows, so I know the VIDEOPATH is correct.

Are you passing code on the button going to the video browser skin to propagate the Custom List or something?

I love when somebody has a very good idea.

It is a very good plugin for RR

Thanks

Ok, not sure what I am missing here.... I just uninstalled the older version, and downloaded the one in the first post. When I go to the browser screen, there are no movies listed at all.

I have my movies as just about everyone else does, each movie in it's own folder:

Star Trek
---------->Folder.jpg
---------->Star Trek.avi
---------->Star Trek.nfo

G.I. Joe
---------->Folder.jpg
---------->G.I. Joe.avi
---------->G.I. Joe.nfo

When I use my standard Video Browser, I get the list of movies no problem...

what the plugin does is when "LIST" is called, searchs for media, using the values set in rr.ini

VideoPath= must end with "\"

VideoFiles= separated by comma

if a video file is found will be added to the list. heres how i have mine.

videopath=D:\Media\Video\
videofiles=.AVI,.MPG,.MPEG,.VOB,.ASF,.WMV,.mkv,.fl v

my guess is that, something is wrong in those settings.

in other news, i just added a very simple preview, based in WMP. ActiveX
