I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but like I said, it appears that most things are working better in the last 3 revisions for Win7, but not so well for WinXP, and it wasn't clear from your post that WinXP users might be at risk if they jumped blindly in.

And likewise, with the latest rev (28723), users should pay particular attention that this upgrade is a one-way street with your database, and if it doesn't work for you, you're going to be SOL for the time being, you can't downgrade to an earlier release without recreating your database. That would be *disasterous* for someone like me, since I have literally hundreds of obscure movie and TV titles that have customized posters and fanart, etc that were manually entered over a long period of time.

Cheers, and thanks again for the useful info!

If you export your library to separate files that would never be a worry as your have a copy stored locally with all your media

I personally backup my thumbnail and database folders on a regular basis as well

So new release, nice

Anyone tried this on win 7 x64 yet? I am running 28016 right now. Some freezing issues here i like to get rid of.

Great workNod

Seb,

Is there a proper change log for this new build?

Cheers

EDIT - my bad - clicked the link....so, who's gonna be first this time?..lol


- gcarter - 2010-03-24

Am I doing something wrong here... but after a fresh installation of
XBMCSetup-Rev28772-dx.exe

I still see no scraper options in the settings. They are all marked as 'None' and clicking on the arrows to change, does nothing. Bad build?

edit... must be, as I just went back to build XBMCSetup-Rev28622-dx and the scrapers were all selectable
Someones screwed up perhaps with this latest build?


- SlaveUnit - 2010-03-24

Has anyone successfully gotten the visualizations back in Rev28722? I have 0 that I can select from.


- christoofar - 2010-03-24

hmm..think I'll wait on this. Eek

uncertainty Wrote:Till dsplayer has a new build you can do the following which someone recommended.

"How to enable the scraper and the visualization: Download the lastest build from here. I used http://sshcs.com/xbmc/?mode=CW&P=PC&R=28699
Unpack the rar file.
Copy the addons folder to your path where your XBMC is installed.
You need a skin where you can choose in the settings menu the add-ons tab.
Enable your scraper and visualization.
Tested with the imdb and tvdb scraper."

I then enabled confluence skin and under settings-system was able to set both the scrapers and visualizations...All working now...

EDIT: New dsplayer build available http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70436

very cool!

Thanks for this info!!

update: Scrapers work, but no viz, using Confluence skin, cna see anywhere to enable it. oh well.
Will try newest build after others on XP do. Mine is running tight (xcept viz) as is.

Still scrappers are not working with this new build Rev28722.

Scrapers & vizu are included in this build, i've double checked... You need to enable the addons in the "Add-ons" menu before you can use them.

Thanks blinkseb for the Tip.
