Someone else just reported a similar problem. In his case, he had a wide character in one (or more) of his Photo titles/filenames. Might you have something similar?

In any case, please send me your log with debugging enabled. I won't know exactly what's going on without it.

Quote:Any plans to support faces in future updates?

Heh, I was just thinking about that actually. It's on my list. Unfortunately, my Real Job is taking most of my time though at the moment. But it's definitely something I'll look into when I have the time.

Version 0.9.8 adds unicode support, which may have been your problem. I just submitted it, so when it's accepted, please let me know if it corrects the issue you're having.

I'll be working on Faces support next.

Hi Jonathan

Thank you for a new version. I just tried it (ver 0.9.8), but problem still exists. I'll send you logs tomorrow so you can take a look.

Cheers,

P.

Hmm, it is in fact the same problem I was already aware of. Apparently I didn't fix it.

I'll see what I can do. If possible, I'd like a copy of your AlbumData.xml file to test with. You can send it directly to jingai at floatingpenguins dot com.

If I think I've got a fix, I'll send you a beta version of it before I push it up.

I used the terminal to connect to the ATV and fired your command against the ATV:

Last login: Sun Sep 19 08:26:59 on console
Lx-iMac:~ Lx$ ssh [email protected]


Welcome to the world of AppleTV with aTV Flash
--For support please visit aTVFlash.com--

[email protected]'s password:
-bash-2.05b$ sudo find / -name AlbumData.xml

nothing happened :-(

The AlbumData.xml is in your iPhoto Library on your Mac, not on the AppleTV. You need to share the point where your library is on your Mac and mount it on your AppleTV.

Do I have to mount the share on my ATV of the location on my imac of my iphotos share?

Yes. I've never used XBMC on an AppleTV though so I can't help you do that.

It turns out this was an oversight in XBMC in that it wouldn't accept unicode characters in the thumbnail image paths (http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10486).

I'll be releasing v0.9.9 soon that will simply ignore thumbnail paths that contain unicode characters if it can't cope with them, but if you're using XBMC > r34717, it should display them properly.

I would like to remove the <<import iPhoto library>> option from the main menu and was wondering how to do this. I have tried deleting the following line from the strings.xml

<string id="30103">&lt;&lt; Import iPhoto Library &gt;&gt;</string>

Which does remove the text, but still leaves me with a blank line which I can still click. I would prefer the option to import my library in the add-on settings menu if at all possible?

P/S/ thanks for such a great add-on.

Really great job Jonathan! I'm looking forward to new release.

Yes, because in addon.py it is going to add a list item for that entry regardless of whether or not the string is there.

Quote:I would prefer the option to import my library in the add-on settings menu if at all possible?

I can add an option in the settings to hide that menu item, if that is acceptable? May I ask why you'd like to hide it?

It's been pushed up. The relevant patches in XBMC are not in Dharma yet, but the new version of the plugin will simply avoid displaying thumbnails that contain unicode, rather than just crashing.

Do let me know if you see any other issues.

Purely for neatness. Once I've scanned my library I have it set to auto update so I have no need for the option to appear in the main list. I just think that it looks more integrated to just see the iPhoto library without the add-on option.

Thanks for replying and yes, if you can include the option to hide the menu item that would be great.

I've added a context menu item to import the library and have given the option to hide the item from the main menu. You'll see this feature in the next release.
