hello i am sure this would have been mentioned before And maybe it can already be done.. Would be great if you can play the movie direct from the selected list with a few of User selected players for various types of movie files out there.. GREAT program glad i found it..
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have a play button (after enabling it) but it is grayed out and when i click it nothing happens. I have also set up a player in the prefs. Please help, thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I am using Windows Vista. I am a Java developer myself and I actually ended up downloading the source code. I noticed the code about not supporting Vista or other non-Windows Operating Systems (Mac, Linux, etc). This seems a bit of a pitty since the system is written in Java and could easily run on any platform. I ended up changing the codeto use "file.exists()" instead of the fancier code using the Drive class (which only works on older Windows and no other Operating Systems). I can sent thought what i have if you like.
Cheers,
Justin.

It should be able to run media players on any platform already.
The Drive class is only used on Windows, but if it doesn't work on Vista I'll disable it for that operating system.
The Drive class is used because I experienced some shitty behaviour where a popup window would appear if the file path pointed a drive that was empty, e.g. a DVD-ROM.
Thanks for sorting this out!

The issue for me was not running the Media player. The issue I had was that it was not enabling the 'Play' button when you select a movie from the list. From looking at the code I can not see how it would work on a non-Windows Operation System, since the class would never get 'initialised'.

Hi
Right click the toobar and select "play".
In the preferences you can choose which player to use.

Hi
Did you add a media file to the movie entry?
Bro
Yeah sorry mate - I added multiple divX (*.avi) files from a directory.
Can you post the value in the "Location" field of the movie?
Are they correct?
Each file path should be separated by a "*".
Bro
It is a divX with a single file. E:\Temp\mov\accepted.avi
It is the correct path as per:
E:\Temp\mov>dir accepted.avi
Directory of E:\Temp\mov
14/11/2007 09:36 PM 734,765,056 accepted.avi
1 File(s) 734,765,056 bytes
0 Dir(s) 27,438,592,000 bytes free
I'm assuming that i do not need a '*' since there is only one file.
Which Windows version do you have?

The issue for me was not running the Media player. The issue I had was that it was not enabling the 'Play' button when you select a movie from the list. From looking at the code I can not see how it would work on a non-Windows Operation System, since the class would never get 'initialised'.
This is the code from v2.6.1.
If not windows, it will not use the Drive class.
Why wouldn't this work on not Windows OS's?
if (FileUtil.isWindows()) {
String drive = tmp.substring(0, tmp.indexOf(":") + 1);
if (drive.length() == 0)
continue;
try {
DriveInfo d = new DriveInfo(drive);
if (d.isInitialized() && d.isValid() && !d.isRemovable()) {
enable = true;
break;
}
} catch(Exception e) {
log.warn("Exception:" + e.getMessage());
}
}
else if (new File(tmp).exists()) {
enable = true;
break;
}
Yeah sorry, you are right - I was only looking in the DriveInfo class, i didn't realise the class was not used at all if not Windows.
Don't worry ;-)
The important thing is that it should work.
I'll add changes so that it won't run of Win98 and Vista.
