It was just a thought.

Could it be an issue with the MBShSpy app you're using? Or is MC not even getting this far before the error is displayed?

What about if the plugin just polled the monitored directories every x minuts to look for changes?

I'm happy to test a version without MBShSpy to see if this solves the loading problem.

I've written my share of code in my dim dark past.

It's always funny how the simple little projects seem to just keep growing!

I for one would be happy wth a "Poll Every x Minutes" option if it means it will install and run for everybody.

Do you Have A "winmm.dll" on both Computers?

Yes, it's on both
c:\windows\system32\winmm32.dll

I shouldn't be allowed to type the morning after a heavy night of partying. Anyway. I mean the file was winmm.dll NOT winmm32.dll I think i was just adding 32 to the end of everything.

So .... I have winmm.dll on both PCs (the one that works & the one that doesn't).

I am working on a new version anyway

It will work with a count down timer, and import at a user selected time

and scan all folders selected by the user

Mark,

When I search the registry, some entries are "Auto Import.ocx" others are "AutoImport.ocx" (without a space), also you seem to use Media Jukebox, not Media Center.

May have nothing to do with the problem, but I think we're all a bit at a loss.

Richard

Maybe you should remove it, and maybe it will work

can you do a search for "AutoImport.ocx" to see if you have that in your registry using "regedit" in "run"

KingSparta · « **Reply #122 on:** June 13, 2005, 03:32:21 pm »

Sounds Like A Red Herring

I Am Going To Rip The Search For Sub Folders Out And See What Happens.

And Put A Manual Add Folders In, Maybe Thats What Is Causing The Problem.

rpalmer68 · « **Reply #123 on:** June 13, 2005, 08:42:16 pm »

Mark,

Have already deleted the entries, and also tried putting an AutoImport.ocx in the Auto Import Directory. Didn't fix problem. Entries seemed to be under Explorere so they shouldn't be an issue anyway.

Can you put some message boxes in the plugin at various stages so we can help identify where it fails?

I'm more than happy to help debug this issue, so feel free to email me any test versions you'd like me to try.

I have ripped out the folder search option (maybe it will return later)

And now a button will pull up a folder browser

click on a folder, ok and it is added.

if you need to scan sub folders you need to add them manualy as well.

Version 2.0.3

I am hoping this will fix the reason it works on some but not other systems.

rpalmer68 · « **Reply #125 on:** June 15, 2005, 01:36:55 am »

Bad news I'm afraid.

I uninstalled the 2.0.1 plugin and installd 2.0.3 and still get the same MC error about interface plugin can not be found or created.

I went back And Changed The Control Name To "MC Auto Import"

And Built A New Install File

Then Ran The Install File

The Project Installed, Registerd, And Ran Correctly.

make sure if it installes or not that you have version 2.0.4

rpalmer68 · « **Reply #129 on:** June 15, 2005, 06:56:52 pm »

Still no luck Mark.

Tested on both my MC systems, works on one and not the other.

Can you give me a list of every file that should be installed? The install seemed to go a bit quicker on the system it's not working on so I'm wondering if maybbe a support file isn't being installed for some reason.

Cheers
Richard

KingSparta · « **Reply #130 on:** June 15, 2005, 07:11:16 pm »

Do Both Of You Have The Latest Microsoft Internet Explorer?

All Other Files It Needs Are Installed By The Installer.

That's What Is So Strange, there Is Nothing In There That Should Be Doing This.

If You Know Visual Basic 6, I Would Be Happy To Allow Anyone To Figure it Out If They Have The Time. I Am Baffled.

have you tried other plug-ins of mine on both computers?

KingSparta · « **Reply #131 on:** June 15, 2005, 07:31:48 pm »

shdocvw.oca
msstdfmt.dll

the rest of the files are installed by the installer

rpalmer68 · « **Reply #132 on:** June 15, 2005, 11:39:01 pm »

Both machines have the latest IE.

I've tried your MoveFolder.jpg plugin (use it all the time), it works on BOTH machines without a problem.

I don't have shdocvw.oca on either machine, but I do have a shdocvw.dll, which is older on the PC that isn't working.

The PC not working doesn't have the file msstdfmt.dll at all for some reason.

Have copied the 2 files from the working PC to the other, un-installed and re-installed plugin and it still doesn't load.

What other files does the installer install? I know I've had problems in the past when writing VB code that things like the versions of ctl3d32.dll and commdlg.dll can cause some strange things to happen.

Richard

KingSparta · « **Reply #133 on:** June 16, 2005, 05:59:12 am »

I just found a file that the folder.jpg plug-in has and the autoimport does not have "ole automation"

Not sure what you're getting at Mark, but have checked both PCs and this file is installed on both.

Any chance you could post old builds on your website? I installed this a couple weeks ago and it worked great. Then, I attempted to install on another PC (with the newer version), and have gotten similar errors that others have reported. The ability to scan sub-folders is important to me, and it seemed to work fine awhile ago.

Mark,

I think I might install VB6 on the machine it doesn't work on and try creating the package on that machine.

I guess the question is, are you happy to send me the source to test with? (I promise I won't do anyting I shouldn't with it!)

If you're OK with it, can you email me on richard_palmer(at)iprimus.com.au

Thanks,

It's been a long time since I've done any VB code (I think it was VB4 when I was coding!) and I haven't done anything with MC plugins.

But hey, I'm sure I'll pick it up again when I get into it... might have a few silly questions along the way, so be gentle on me!

Anyway, let's hope we can get to the bottom of this!

VB4 will not work, You Would Need VB6

At Any Rate, I Put A New Build Up

I Used A Completely New Shell From A Working Plug-In And Pasted The Code Into It.

I Deleted All Of My Installs, And Installed It On two Computers It Worked Fine.

Bluesman · « **Reply #143 on:** June 18, 2005, 10:57:01 am »

Mark,
It works fine for me with 2.08 (actually marked as 2.09 in plug-in manager).
Couldn't get the previous build to import anything (2.04 I think)
I'm not searching sub folders, just one directory with about 1250 files in it, I placed 4 extra files into it and it found them , no worries
I'm new to MC but this is great to have devoted users provide useful applications like this.
thanks , this will be invaluable.
Geoff

KingSparta · « **Reply #144 on:** June 18, 2005, 11:32:22 am »

I know about the version # problem (between the installer and plug-in) On the next build.

yes, I forgot to add "*." to the user extenders, dumb on my case

I also put back in Search For Sub Folders.

jwaters · « **Reply #145 on:** June 18, 2005, 01:18:22 pm »

Works great for me. No more errors. Sub-folders are being scanned.

Thank You. This is a hugely valueable plugin!!!!

jwaters · « **Reply #146 on:** June 18, 2005, 02:37:42 pm »

I may have spoken a little too soon.... When I first set it up with a directory to scan, it automatically imported the items. However, as I add new files to that directory, it's not picking the new files up.

In playing around with it, it seems that if I change the folder to scan, then change it back, it will pick up the files on the first pass, but doesn't catch new files added on subsequent passes.

Anyway, hope this helps to troubleshoot. Thanks for all the hard work, KingSparta!

KingSparta · « **Reply #147 on:** June 18, 2005, 04:00:20 pm »

do you just have one import folder?

this maybe a bug in VB6, i may need to do a refresh on the folder

EDIT: Ver 2.0.10 Added A Refresh When The Folder Is Selected

also you can check

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Plugins\Interface\Auto Import\PluginMode

And make sure it has a "1" in it

A 1 means the plug-in will run all the time, and some of the first recent builds I forgot to change it to a "1"

rpalmer68 · « **Reply #148 on:** June 18, 2005, 10:25:40 pm »

2.0.10 still doesn't work on my system, I still get the same MC error.

I have installed the plugin on 3 different XP systems, it works on two and doesn't work on the 3rd (the one it needs to workon of course!)

Mark,

Will the plugin run within VB6 to see if it is generating an error, or do you have to compile it for it to run from MC only?

Snuffy2 - Is the latest version working for you?

Richard

KingSparta · « **Reply #149 on:** June 19, 2005, 06:55:52 am »

you must compile to a OCX

here is a link to the VB6 runtime files

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290887

try installing it on the computer it does not run on

there is just no reason it should not work.

2.0.11 is latest, 2.0.10 would import 2 folders of the same name
