Hello
I am using XBMC Frodo Beta 2, Aeon Nox 4.0 and I tried for the first time MyPics DB 1.2.9.

When I launched XBMC I had the message "Sript error MyPics DB"

I have configured MyPics DB, selected my Images repertory but the scan did not start ?

Please, always send the log to xbmclog and paste the url with your reply

Pierre.

Could you rename your folder :

C:\Users\Pierre\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.image.mypicsdb-master

To

C:\Users\Pierre\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.image.mypicsdb

Don't know if it the source of issue but as you have install add-on form ZIP and not from repository, folder name is not correct.

I have downloaded the last ZIP from GITHUB and make some improvements as fresh install in Aeon Nox 4.0 rize ERROR in log (because categories tables does not exist or no picture in DB).

So edit default.py file, go to line 1027 and replaces those lines :

Code:

# Get general statistics and set properties
        Count = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM files WHERE "EXIF DateTimeOriginal" NOT NULL AND UseIt=1""" )[0]
        Categories = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM categories""" )[0]
        Collections = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM collections""" )[0]
        Folders = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM folders WHERE HasPics = 1""" )[0]

by

Code:

# Get general statistics and set properties
        # Check if FILES table exist
        _tableExist = MPDB.Request( """SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='files'""" )
        if len(_tableExist) != 0:
            Count = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM files WHERE "EXIF DateTimeOriginal" NOT NULL AND UseIt=1""" )[0]
        else:
            Count = [0]
        # Check if CATEGORIES table exist
        _tableExist = MPDB.Request( """SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='categories'""" )
        if len(_tableExist) != 0:
            Categories = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM categories""" )[0]
        else:
            Categories = [0]
        # Check if COLLECTIONS table exist
        _tableExist = MPDB.Request( """SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='collections'""" )
        if len(_tableExist) != 0:
            Collections = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM collections""" )[0]
        else:
            Collections = [0]
        # Check if FOLDERS table exist
        _tableExist = MPDB.Request( """SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='folders'""" )
        if len(_tableExist) != 0:
            Folders = MPDB.Request( """SELECT COUNT(*) FROM folders WHERE HasPics = 1""" )[0]
        else:
            Folders = [0]

Thanks.

Hi Mikebzh44,

I'll have a look on it this evening and probably exchange table Categories with table TagTypes (with a constraint to categories).
I've removed all special tag tables and changed the code to use the general TagTypes & TagContents tables.
But, obviously I forgot to change the statistic skin properties introduced by you

Havign trouble setting this up.

If i point it to a folder on the system or usb stick it finds the pictures, however all my pics/photos are stored on a server in my loft and selecting the photos folder ( which is added as a source in xbmc and is a shared folder ) on the server doesnt find any photos.

any Ideas?

Thanks

Matt

Wait for the final Frodo release of MyPicsDB then it'll be able to access remote shares without any trouble or read the text from help menu.

If you're brave enough then try MyPicsDB from my repository.
Link: https://github.com/Xycl/repository.xycl....-1.9.0.zip

It's any early beta version using a new file parser which supports the xbmcvfs module. Therefore you can expect some broken functionality but you can access remote shares with NFS or SMB.

Brilliant working great, Thanks

Frodo:

Don't use the geolocation with Frodo because it'll crash your XBMC.

Person tags are read from XMP MPRegersonDisplayName.
Microsoft was the first who introduced this tag with Picture Gallery. Therefore the MPReg namespace.
Due to the complete chaos with EXIF, IPTC & XMP tags, I don't wonder that other programs use a different tags.

But with Picasa there is a complete different problem. Picasa stores the persons in it's own database but not in the pictures.
Have a look at: (there's also the solution for your problem)
AvPicFaceXmpTagger

Anyone knows a Mac OSX application which is able to do the same as AvPicFaceXmpTagger?
My searches were not successfully so far!
would be good ... thanks

Oh oh. I'm testing the 1.9.0... Still scanning my 9000 pictures through CIFS share. I'm still waiting for the end, but it sounds good.
Thanks !

Some debug information:
NOTICE: There is useful EXIF-like data here (quality, comment, copyright), but we have no parser for it.
What does it mean ?

Hi,
Have had this installed for a while and just getting around to playing with it. Everything about the plugin seems to be doing fine, but I had some questions about usability and am not sure if it's a skin or plugin problem and hoped you could clear it up so I can ask in the appropriate place.

XBMC Eden
MyPicsDB 1.29

1. Aeon Nox has a "Pictures" menu item but it is the only menu item that has completely transparent menus which makes it hard to read depending on the background pictures. Since this the only menu item like this I thought it might be a plugin setting.

2. I would like to add some sub-menus to the main menu item for easy access to my most used functions. Aeon Nox allows for custom button functions, but I'm not sure how to make them for a plugin. This way I could go directly to keywords or a collection from the sub menu.

something like:
function = XBMC.RunScript(plugin.image.mypicsdb,0,?action='setproperties'&method ='Keywords'&sort ='Name')
or
function = XBMC.RunScript(plugin.image.mypicsdb,0,?action='setproperties'&method ='Collection'&collname ='Pets'&sort ='Name')
??

Is there a reference somewhere with all the methods and such to customize these?

Lastly, I wondered if it would be possible to add a menu item to "add to collection" in the fullscreen mode or the info mode? There are times when I have a series of similar pictures and I want to pick the best ones for a collection and the thumbs aren't big enough to to distinguish between them which means a lot of going back and forth and button clicking to add items to a collection.

Edit: Info mode crops images so that wouldn't work. =/

Either way, I really love your plugin and you have my thanks for all your hard work!

Cheers
