First:

I am using the latest xbmc.exe build from the sourceforge page along with the latest ffmpeg .dll's that Wiso posted. I am not sure if this is related to that at all but i figured it couldnt hurt. Anyway, i have alot of movies that are in 2 parts like xxxxx cd1.avi and xxxxx cd2.avi and when i try to scan them into the database both parts are scanned in and I have two entries in the database for xxxxx. I have stacked files turned on so I am not sure if that is a bug or i am just not smart enough to fix it (probly the latter)

Second:

Ever since i have tried XBMC for windows i have never figured out how to stop a video completely using the mouse. I can pause it and then return to the previous screen, but cannot actually get it to stop so that i can see the PMIII backgrounds again. Again most likely an easy fix that i do not know how to do hopefully.

anyways, thanks for your help in advance. Cant wait for this to be as great and better than XBMC for xbox!!!!

The way I have my multipart files names is the following, and it works perfectly fine in Windows XBMC. Movie Title.part1.avi, Movie Title.part2.avi, and so forth. I believe you can also name them as Movie Title part1.avi, and so on, without the "." in front of the "part1", "part2".

As for stopping videos using the mouse - I don't know what to tell you. I use a remote and keyboard emulation. It's possible you can edit settings in the keymap.xml, but I'm not sure off the top of my head whether or not there are mouse controls in the xml. It's definitely a file to check though.

well i just upgraded the tech build the xbmc.exe and the dll's because under the older tech dll's and .exe the stacking was fine.

oh well, if anyone else might know of a solution thanks.

thanks for your help gabestover

A long, long time ago (3-4 years now :p) the mouse LEFT click brought up the video OSD, and right click switched screens. At least I think that's how I did it.

Whether or not it still does it I have no idea

[feerlessleadr]

well i decided to take a look at the keymap.xml and am now just using the keyboard for some functions and the mouse for others. thanks all

any other info on the lack of stacking for videos would be awesome. Thanks so much

do you have regular expressions for stacking in your advancedsettings.xml?

-> http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Stacking

works fine for me.

[feerlessleadr]

i dont have an advacedsettings.xml because i didn't think i needed it for stacking.

i have 3 xboxes and xbmc stacks the files fine. I figured it was the windows version since the xbox's stack the smb share fine, but the windows one doesnt.

Also, some of the movies are just xxxx 1.avi, and xxxx2.avi and some are xxxx CD1.avi and xxxx CD2.avi

since i have almost 700 movies total, with almost 1400 files total i would much rather not have to rename each file as that would be extremely time consuming lol

[ezechiel1917]

i have an xbox and win32 versions with standard and custom regexps and it works fine on both in current builds.

[feerlessleadr]

well this just gets weirder and weirder for me

2 more questions:

1) when i dont use the advancedsettings.xml file files that are x CD1/2 stack fine, files that are x a/b stack fine but files that are x 1/2 don't (why would a/b stack and not 1/2)

when i use the advancedsettings.xml the only stacking that works is the x CD1/2. Is there anyway to put into the advancedsettings.xml file to recognize x a/b and x 1/2?

2) smb browsing for me still does not work. when i click on add network location then click on browse i get the error "error -1073741772 share not available" when i enter in the computer name and share folder i get computer name not valid, but when i enter in the IP of my desktop it works fine.

I am using vista ultimate if that matters and here is my pastebin log

1) yes. see the advancedsettings.xml page in the wiki
2) sounds like you have two devices trying to be domain master

[feerlessleadr]

well after much trial and error i have been able to get stacking to work properly. for anyone with the same problem here is the xml i used:

<advancedsettings>
<moviestacking append="yes">
<regexp>[ _\.-]*([0-9]+)</regexp>
</moviestacking>
</advancedsettings>

spiff- i am not sure what domain master means (i googled it but sadly understood none of what it said) and what can i do to try and rectify this situation? (not sure if this is a given but browsing smb shares works with laptop to desktop and xbox to desktop)

thanks

*offtopic
Didn't notice that avcoded can't resolve the pthread functions. I should consider to compile ffmpeg without it even though it is somewhere reported that the implementation should be slightly faster than win32 threads.

yup that is one of the places I looked

I understand that since I am on the same subnet, i can only have one master browser.

however, i dont know how I would go about checking this or solving this issue. any guidance is much appreciated.
