The custom path is very close to what is detailed by wgstarks, but I think it will only be the "Containing Directory name" that is used, so if you have your film in:

Movies/3D Movies/Thor 3D/Thor.mkv

Then your extras will be in:

<Custom Path>/Movies/Thor 3D

Hope that helps

Dear Rob,

For the manual I am creating: I am a bit confused as to which would be the right remote directory name for MusicVideos. Do these extras have their own directory, since we have Container.Content(musicvideos)? I realised we haven't specified this bit on the wiki.

Hope you are fine.

Is anyone using this in Helix?

I recently installed the Beta 1 and just copied over my advancedsettings.xml hoping for the best.

No video extras are found after a library scan. I made no modifications to the working as.xml, as it worked perfectly in Gotham. Thread search here reveals only one mention of Helix.

I know Rob was waiting for a public release of Helix before making changes to the AddOn to support it. I haven't seen any mention of him changing his mind.

Yes, I believe they should - there is a value in settings for these - should be "MusicVideos" by default

If you have a debug log I might be able to have a quick look - no promises of a solution in any timely manner.

I do have a log. It seems all of these log files are getting too large for pastebin and xbmclogs, so I've linked a Drive doc. If that's an issue for you please advise and I'll pass it along another way.

The log shows videoextras searching for the <title>\Extras entries, but then just continues on without adding anything that's contained in the directory.

Looks like it isn't finding any files, maybe a bug in the XBMC Python libraries, as the code does:

Code:

log("VideoExtrasFinder: Checking existence for %s" % extrasDir)
        extras = []
        # Check if the extras directory exists
        if xbmcvfs.exists(extrasDir):
            # list everything in the extras directory
            dirs, files = xbmcvfs.listdir(extrasDir)
            for filename in files:
                log("VideoExtrasFinder: found file: %s" % filename)

And the only logging we see is:

Code:

script.videoextras: VideoExtrasFinder: Checking existence for Z:\Movies\Scanner Darkly, A (2006)\Extras

And then no files listed, so either the xbmcvfs.exists(extrasDir) or xbmcvfs.listdir(extrasDir) is not working I think.

Thanks for looking it over Rob.

Now my question is: Is there anything i can do to help? Or, did we find a bug and need to open a trac?

Yes, please feel free to raise a Trac - I haven't read anything that states that addons need to do anything to "align" with Helix, so it seems like a bug.

Thanks

Hopefully it's not something with my setup and an actual bug that can be fixed!

Just a quick question. I already have all my TV extras working, can I set this up for ONLY movie extra's? Currently all my movies are in one directory on my NAS so I assume I either have to create folders for each movie title or put a new folder on the NAS called Movies for the extras?

Thanks...

Hi Randy,

Yes you can set this up for Movies only. The suggested/best way is to split things into directories, but is should also be possible to use the names of the files:

Hi thrak76,

Thanks for raising that - just spotted that Martijn posted a suggestion.

What Martijn posted is correct with regards to the Python api docs - I suppose it was just luck that it worked before in Frodo/Gotham - most probably something changed in Helix that means it really does need the final directory slash.

I have updated the code - but have only had a very quick test, seems OK - there is a beta at the following location if you wanted to give it a try.

Thanks

Thanks Rob, I'll give it a shot!

Just tested the update and all is working as expected, from within the infoscreens as well as in plugin mode.

Thanks for the fix!
