If you're using Windows 7, this is the easy way...

• Copy
  C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 16\Plugins\PvdImport to
  C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 17\Plugins\.
  
  
• Add the necessary registry key. This can be done by saving the following code in a REG file, then double-clicking the file to add it to the registry. Make sure this is the same as the MC16 key you already have before doing so. The purpose is to make an exact copy of that key in the MC17 section.
  
  
• Start MC17. Select Tools > Plug-in Manager > Interface > PvdImport and click Show.

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JRiver\Media Center 17\Plugins\Interface\PvdImport]
"URL"=""
"PluginMode"=dword:00000001

If you're running Windows 7 32-bit, I guess it would be under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\]. In any case, what you need to do is copy the PvdImport key from the MC16 branch to the the MC17 branch. I suppose what I should have said was find the MC16 registry key, export it, change the "Media Center 16" to "Media Center 17" and re-import (or "merge") it to the registry.

If you copied the PvdImport folder as I suggested, you'll want to Load the field configuration file found in M:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 17\Plugins\PvdImport.

You also have to edit the Send To menu item in MC to point to the new location.

• Did you copy the PvdImport folder from the MC16 installation to the MC17 installation?
• Did you edit the Send To context menu item to point to the PvdImportContextMenu.exe in the new location?

Yes to both

but initially the context menu was not in the plugin. It was somewhere else on my hard drive and I moved it to the plugin.

If the path and parameter of the Send To item are correct, I have no idea why it won't work. I suppose you could try reinstalling PvdImport, but you'll still have to copy your field configuration from the MC16 installation (or do it over again), and fix the Send To item. In other words, I don't know what difference that would make.
