Re: xPLRioNet v3.8z released

[James <james@xxxxxxx>]

Tony,

I am just trying this software for the first time and am having a few
problems. It's probably just me but if you could give a few pointers.
I am running this on winxp sp2, no firewall, the 38z release with the
extra gpl zip loaded and the mvp dongle copied over. All I am currently
connecting to it is 1 MVP. There is a library of mpg2 videos and mp3s
which have been scanned.
Music and shoutcasts are working fine, I can control them from the web
and am also seeing xpl packets of transport changes and track names.
When I go to the movie menu I get a blue screen with a line 2/3s the way
down and a white box top left. If I push the arrow keys the box
sometimes moves to another location and in some of these locations when
I click ok i get the video playing. Of course what video plays is total
guess work as i don't see any thumbnails or track titles. Is there a way
of knowing what will play?
When I do play a video I can pause and stop but fast forward and rewind
don't work, is this correct?
After I stop a video and it goes back to the movie menu if I try and
select another movie it doesn't play, I have to reboot the mvp or wait
for 60 seconds or so.
When the mvp is playing a video the web interface says "Stopped"
and
doesn't have any information of what is currently playing. I presume a
web selection of videos is on the todo list.
I am also not seeing any xpl packets for any video actions.  I see lots
for music but nothing for video. Is there something to turn on somewhere?

my xplrionet.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

</configuration>

Thanks in advance.
