KingSparta · « **Reply #50 on:** March 13, 2005, 02:16:09 pm »

i just tried this install on a clean computer it installed and worked correctly

if you are using any programs that may block the install in any way to include any ad-ware type programs it will fail.

i sugest you uninstall the plug-in from add-remove programs in windows

then uninstall it under plug-in manager within MC

then remove the folder

c:\program files\Mark Farmer\Auto Import\

then download a new copy from my web site 2 times

(on the first time it may be real quick, and it really did not download due to a bug in windows)

then install

if you have the new build, you should see a file "Registry.reg" in the "Auto Import" folder

if you dbl click on that file it should attempt to register the plug-in (and the install program should be doing this) i included it just in case it may help.

All I have running on this computer is MSN Messenger and the bare services. I did exactly as you said and it still doesn't work.
I have tried it on another computer (fresh install) and it does the same thing. Both these copies of XP are patched up to date also.

strange

does any of my other plug-ins work for you?

you maybe missing some files i need to include with this install

if you could copy the following keys by using Export in regedit and sending it to me at mfarmer1@nc.rr.com

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Plugins\Interface\Auto Import
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Plugins\Interface\Auto Import

yes it is

if it is not because the registry, and it is registered correctly

i will need to need to try thins on another computer.

if you go to my web site, you will see "Visual Basic" if you go into the ActiveX controls, you will see the control "mbshspy" maybe if you install it from that package and let me know if that helps.

do you have a file called

c:\Windows\system32\SHDOCVW.DLL

this is the Internet explorer browser control and the plug-in uses it.

I can not install this file.

if you do what version is it, right click properties

Monkeyboy · « **Reply #57 on:** March 14, 2005, 12:47:58 pm »

Tried the mbshspy package installer which reported to have installed correctly, this has not fixed it.
My SHDOCVW.DLL file is version 6.0.2900.2573.

Sorry for the non-response KingSparta. I didn't have a chance to try your suggestion before I left town for a few days. I can see you've been trying all kinds of things with Monkeyboy who seems to have the exact same problem as me. I've also tried 1.0.11 and the registry key addition with no success.

Now that I have access to my computer, I'd be happy to look up any information or try things to help you find the source of the problem.

Monkeyboy · « **Reply #62 on:** March 16, 2005, 12:37:04 pm »

msnell and Dragyn, have you fiddled with your XP installtions at all?
registry tweaks, or disabled any services?

I install from a custom made unattended cd I made which disables a few services as standard and has a few tweaks here and there. But there are no major changes and I have not had any side effects with any other programs.

Rich

msnell · « **Reply #63 on:** March 16, 2005, 08:35:17 pm »

Mine is a pretty standard install with all the latest patches. I am using the same OS (XP Pro) with all the latest patches on another PC. Auto Import seems to instal and run fine on it. The main difference between the two is the apps running on them.

RobOK · « **Reply #64 on:** March 20, 2005, 04:38:57 pm »

It would be nice to watch two folders (i.e. one for music and one for podcasts), as I see it , the program cant do that right?

I like it though, I worked around by moving podcasts directory under my music.

Hi guys and gals.

I was having the same problem as Monkeyboy and msnell with XP Pro. I uninstalled the plugin using Winows Add/Remove and from MC's Plugin Manager. Then killed all processes that aren't needed, and CLOSED MEDIA CENTER. Installed the plugin again, open MC and clicked 'Start' in the Plugin Manager. And now it works!!!

However! - I get loads of random black boxes in place of what I assume is supposed to be text (see below)

I think I can fix that, it is a windows xp\skin\visual basic problem

1. what skin are you using?
2. I take it you have windows XP?
if you have windows xp what theme are you using?

I will try to reproduce it

thanks for the install tips.

my personal feelings is media center should not be running when installing any plug-in. i think because it is running in mode "1" (running all the time) media center should not be running. i think i remember a problem before and this was the solution.

msnell · « **Reply #68 on:** March 28, 2005, 03:11:24 pm »

Thanks for the suggestion FF. I just tried it, but I get the same error message. I tried things in the order you suggested, as well as several other variations. In all cases I get the same error message as before.

I did my installs with and without MC running, with and without a reboot after the uninstall, and with and without killing every running process I could recognize and safely turn off.

One thing which seemed to be a little different between mine and yours though...When I follow your instructions and remove the plugin from the Windows Add/Remove, it no longer exists in the Media Center plugin list (under Interface). If I swap your order and remove from the Media Center plugin list first, it still shows up in the Windows Add/Remove for me to uninstall.

In any event neither order works for me. I just thought this difference might provide KingSparta with some more insight into the problem I'm seeing.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear you still have the problem msnell - you may well have been write about the order in which to remove something - I probably did it the way you suggested. It's just a hunch but I'd say adaware was my problem - probably blocking registry modifications.

King - re my skin - I am using XP Pro and have the Opus skin applied - entitled CodeOpusC in the display properties.

Hope it helps :-)

try the new build .12

maybe the check boxes look a bit better (not black)

fatt_fill · « **Reply #72 on:** March 30, 2005, 08:55:23 am »

King - I've downloaded the latest? version from your website.

It was marked as "Auto Import (Version 1.0.11)" but it does link to version .12.
0.12 does fix my problem re. the black boxes

I also use Lyrics Finder (2.0.0) and Bios (2.0.1) and have the same problem with the black boxes and my skin on those, but they seem to work fine with whatever blind setup I have done - hehe

Thanks for such a quick fix, and with your continued efforts in producing such useful plugins - you should be on the MC payroll

Thanks again

This seems like a really cool PlugIn! Does this PlugIn only work with MC11? Has anyone tried it on MC10 or 9? Seeing as how it's an ActiveX control I would think it would work depending on how those versions handle plugins. I'll give this a try and find out and report my findings here.

Just discovered this, and it is just what I wanted. But on my first attempt to use it (once I got it configured) I copied in a new folder with 12 media files. But the plug-in only imported one of the files (the last).

Code: [Select]

In Sub: ExtractFolderName
Extracted Folder Name: F:\Music\Mary Black\Looking Back\
In Sub: MatchExtender
Matched Extender: 'wma'

This is with version 1.0.12. Any ideas?

avid · « **Reply #78 on:** April 14, 2005, 12:47:07 am »

I'll try it again this evening and post back again in detail with what happens then. But yesteday I dragged a folder (in Explorer) with 12 media files into the watched folder, and only one of the 12 files got imported to the library.

Guessing - This is the sort of thing that would happen if (say) you had a single path buffer for the path to a newly added file waiting to be processed.

Same error: "Interface Plug-in 'Auto Import' could not be found or created."

I get this one one machine of mine but not on the other. Hardware-wise they're not similar, but they've got similar software & all updates have been applied to both.

Unfortunately, the one machine I want it to work on, it doesn't and the one that I was just toying around with it & don't really need it, it actually works.

So I'm willing to help debug this issue, just tell me what I can do to help.

All 3 files you've listed previously exist (same vers on Both Machines):
winmm.dll (5.1.2600.2180)
mbshspy.ocx (1.0.0.0)
shdocvw.dll (6.0.2900.2627)

I tried to run the registry thing you mention in a previous post but I don't see it in the Auto Import folder. I'm running v1.0.12.

Anything else I can try for you?

Mark,

I am also have the same problem with MC 11, latest rev as of today and the latest version of your plugin. WinXPSP2..

My library is stored on a network drive, I wonder if the problem is related to that? What WinAPI functions are you using to watch for library changes?

Also, I am not doing this by a mapped drive but by supply the computername\directory

I am guessing this could be part of the problem.

Can you clarify? Is your "same problem" the same as the most recent (can't find plug-in), the same as mine (only some files are recognised when multiple ones are added) or the same as some earlier one in the thread?

OK now I'm confused too!

I have installed the plugin on a different PC and it works (or at least it loads, I haven't tried actually using it yet).

Only problem now is that the PC I need it to work on is the one where it won't load.

I'll do some further testing to see if I can find a difference that would be causing the problem.

Pleasse don't do that!

Is there any debug logging we can enable in MC11 to do further testing? (Matt/JimH???)

I'm not sure how plugin loading works, but I'd assume either MC can't locate the plugin file, or the plugin starts to load and can't find a support file required.

I'll keep looking as I really need this functionality.
