plugin Project Valerie

[hummer66]

Hi
Had a play with this last night
It’s a media GUI that scans any media mounts of your choice
And gets all the film covers and imdb info



Looks like my popcorn a110 is now redundant
Anyone else had a play with this??

[bassethound]

I have tried it in the past not sure what version its on now make sure you do a backup before installing as it trashed my installation twice

i found it was a bit clunky and slow to download covers i assume its being improved all the time

[hummer66]

only had about an hour on it last night
after it ask me to download the lastest version and rebooted it worked great

next on my list is pictures.... using picture player i get all the thumbnail up ok.. press ok to view one vix spinner
then have to reboot??
any ideas

[punisher]

yeh i had a few problems with it, id install it, then reboot, then it would ask me to download latest version, then reboot, and then ask me to download latest version again and then reboot and then continue in that loop lol make sure you make a backup image before you install this lol

could never get still to work, it would just crash while scanning my 2,500 tv episodes

I wonder if that had anything to do with 2500 tv episodes lol

hehe, i save nearly every thing i record and archive on my 10TB raid

[punisher]

jeeeeeeeeez, im just about half way through a 1TB drive let a lone attempting 10TB lol but never the less i like the idea of this Project Valerie, just wont work at the moment for me though

[silverfox0786]

no didnt work for me too

i use a windows app called personal video database much easier to use

but yeah i was shocked 10TB i though i was bad with 6TB and only 500GB left

Installed latest version, 500 I think? & I love it on VIX 2.0.3.
It does take a while to index & does throw up way too many false positives for movies, but for TV series named in the SxxExx format it works fantastically.
Turn off the Show wizard on start, Start Valarie on e2 start & check for upgrades on Valerie start.
Not a green screen in sight & a great way of viewing TV series.
Hopefully movie recognition will work better soon. If you use the windoze app you can set an IMDB id for movies & it will try to download the correct movie/art info but in my experience it's still not great in that area yet.

likewise, just loaded it tonight. looks absolutely great. took a while to figure out. the indexing did take a while. also couldn't figure how to start it but then i pressed the menu button and there it was. superb. many thanks

[judge]

yeah, sits at top level on the menu button. I prefer my TV to turn on as a TV when I boot the box rather than having to input what you want so turned off the auto start-up. Doesn't seem to cause any speed decreases when starting from Menu & works fantastic for TV series.

[punisher]

will have to give this another twirl seen as you guys giving good feedback

[fintannl]

if you read the installation instructions they can be a bit vague. i simply put the oe16 ipk into /tmp and installed using the vix ipk installer rather than the more complicated method described on the website. worked a charm and well nice application

shit, being a bloke I didn't even notice or read any installation instructions, just went for the ipk VIX install, 501 seems flawless for TV series & looks great, well worth a try.
It prob still has the new version/update on start up bug though, just disable that option in settings.
