Hello Guys,

I just wanted to download the movieinfo.jar file from the site,but the download is not working.
It comes up with this site : http://searchportal.information.com/?o_ ... vehttp.com and I cannot download a file over there.

Thanks

Did you go into the 'Title' folder? The pictures are available inside there.

Hi there,

I fixed a bug for Linux users.
The problem was that the plugin both mymovies.xml and movie.nfo could not find/load.

@Developer's:
The files could not be found because the pathnames was written for Windows systems, Linux use '\' in stead of '\' like Windows do it. To solve this problem I had only to make some changes in the FileInfoVirtualFolder.java (Method: getFileInfoFile). The changed source code is also include in the MovieInfo.jar

Code: Select all

import com.sun.jna.Platform;

...

private BufferedReader getFileInfoFile(FileReaderPlugin plugin) throws FileNotFoundException
{
  File f;
 
  // Added:
  String strDirSep = "\\";
  if (Platform.isLinux( ))
    strDirSep = "/";
 
  DLNAResource item = parent;
  // the movie info file may be deeper nested so try a few parents
  for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    // Changed:
    f = new File(item.getSystemName() + strDirSep + plugin.getFileName());
    if (f.exists()) {
      return new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
    } else {
      if (item.getParent() != null) {
      item = item.getParent();
      } else {
        break;
      }
    }
  }
 
  // Changed:
  throw new FileNotFoundException(parent.getParent().getSystemName()
      + strDirSep + plugin.getFileName());
}

Hi, this is a great little plugin, I am still ghaving problems getting trailers to work though.

I'm running to a Bravia but I have youtube and other webservices transcoding fine with pmsencoder, however movieinfo only allows to transcode with mencoder, can't figure out why. My PMS.conf file is pretty simple:

Code: Select all

thumbnails = true
alternativeffmpegpath = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PS3 Media Server\\win32\\dvrms\\ffmpeg_MPGMUX.exe
mencoder_ass = true
folders = C:\\Downloads,X:\\Video\\Films,Y:\\Video\\TV
http_engine_v2 = false
engines = pmsencoder,mencoder,avsmencoder,tsmuxer,mplayeraudio,ffmpegaudio,tsmuxeraudio,vlcvideo,mencoderwebvideo,mplayervideodump,mplayerwebaudio,vlcaudio,ffmpegdvrmsremux
cmd = 50

any ideas?

Am I the only one that have problems with this plugin after updating to beta build 1.20.412?

Windows XP PS3

I only get Trailers under title, no Pictures or info about actors etc.

Getting this type of errors in the Traces tab

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing. I get the title, and two instances of the director, but nothing else. It sucks because the one thing I really want is the IMDB rating but it's nowhere to be found. Oh and I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

I suspect it is due to ImDB changing their website around. The pointers for the data is not correct anymore. That's my guess. Hopefully, someone who knows Java can fix it up. I love that plugin very much.

[avil]

hope so, too!

Would love to be able to use this plugin, but I have same problems and trace messages I have it removed right now, but would love to plug it back in soon.
I am also using the latest PMS 1.20.412
