Forgot to say , running Win XP pro 32 bit. Would XP Pro 64 bit be an easier path ?

« on: March 10, 2011, 09:59:36 pm »
Hi All,
running PVD and Kroozebox, on a Windows XP Pro machine and a Popcorn hour, for the last couple of years with no problems. Getting to the stage when my raid card is getting past it as it only supports 1TB drives and max raid 5 size of 2TB. Already have 3 raids setup each pointing to the next holding all my files . All works well.
Have ordered a 12 port Sata 2 card which hopefully supports > 2TB drives and raid sizes to the limit of the OS. I know about the problems with raid but have found no problems running it.
My question is, what is the way forward as far as an OS is concerned ?
Not a fan of Linux etc so am down to Windows.
My thoughts are go with Win 7 but think will have a problem as my drives are different sizes, 4 x 750, 4x 500 amd 4 x 320 so there may be little advantage in going this route.
My other idea was a Windows Home server using drive extender. I have one running at the moment using different drives sizes for a total of approx 11 TB. I use this to store backups of my films and the computer backups.
Will PVD/Kroozebox etc run on WHS or has anyone any other ides ?
All the best

Hi All again. I think the skin is the one that came with Kroozebox. Any ideas regarding the display ?

Started to wonder if it is the Skin I am using rather that Kroozebox. Will investigate a little further !!

Hi All,
using Kroozebox with PVD and my Popcornhour. Always worked perfectly until today. I think I was prompted to update JAVA (this may or maynot be relevant ) and now no pictures are display in the Kroozebox menus. Tried running from PC that hosts the files http://192.168.0.20:9008/
but all I get is the normal listing minus Cover pictures. The web page just displays a white background with a red X were the DVD cover picture is usually shown.
Did modify the template to display 4 lines of films instead of the normal 3 but this has worked with no problems in the past.
All latest plugins loaded and running version 0.9.9.21 of PVD
Tried stopping and restarting the service but still the same
Any Ideas

Hi All working again. 
At the time I was recovering from a major computer crash so had to reload approx 120 files. This must have blocked my IP as suggested in linked post.
Sorry did not find anything when I searched for the problem and thought it was linked to the new release.
All the best

Support / IMPawards download error
« on: September 12, 2009, 10:42:02 am »
Hi All,
whenever I try and download poster information using the IMPawards plugin 0.1.4.0 using the latest PVd (0.9.9.14) I get " HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable" . I am sure it worked before on V 0.9.9.11 but do not have a copy of my database or program for that that version to try.
Great Program all the same.

Sorry for the delay in answering.
On My Setup I have 2 Drives both with a folder called "Films eg S:\Films\ and a New one R:\Films\
O/K for a start CREATE a NEW folder in the directory where all your existing films are in my case I created a folder called "Films on R Drive" so I have S:\Films\Films on R Drive\
Right Click on your "My Computer" Icon on your Desktop
Left Click "Manage"
Left Click "Disk Management"
In the list of Hard Drives disk 0, disk 1 etc Right Click on your NEW Drive (my example you would Right Click on the R Drive).
After a Right Click select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
Click "Add" and browse to the New folder you created above ie browse to S:\Films\Films on R Drive\
Click O/K
Click O/K
If you have set it up correctly you should see 2 entries entries when you Right Click on your NEW drive under "Disk Management"
I Have 1) R:
and 2) disk name (S:) \Films\Films on R Drive
Good luck

Hi All, not sure where to start with this.
I am using Popcorn pointing towards a PC containing all my films on local drive S: Database using PVD and Kroozebox to display the films. 95% films are .ISO everything works well and plays with no problems
My S: drive is running out of space. I cannot add to it as it is at the XP max of 2TB
I need to create a new drive, say a R:. What is the best way to get it to integrate with my exising setup ? Ideally films on both drives should be display at the same time but I am not sure if I need to/how to configure Kroozebox to work with the 2 Drives. They both be local drives on the same PC.
Any Ideas ?
Regards

Development / Modify Kroozebox to output index.htm
« on: March 18, 2009, 11:21:53 pm »
Hi All,
managed to get everything working using PVD, Kroozebox and a PC holding all my films in .iso format and playing them from a popcorn a 110. As you hopefully know if a file called index.htm is in the the root of the folder the popcorn automatically runs the page and appears not to need the share mounting. Have tried modifying an index.htm file to point to the index-1.html but it doesnot not appear to display films at all just the basic index with no films displayed .
Is there any way the kroozebox program could be modified to create an index.htm file. Could then put this in my shared route and play the films via the index.htm.
I have no problems if I first navigate to my PC using the popcorn menus and then play a film via the kroozbox entry on the poppcorn.
Any ideas if an index.htm is possible ?

« on: March 17, 2009, 10:58:21 pm »
Hi, had exactly the same problem a few hours ago. Took me all this time to work it out using trial and error.
My Setup
Server is called LARGE_SERVER
My Movies folder is shared as Films on drive S:
My Database is called Rhosendale also on S: drive
globalparam.properties
href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/LARGE_SERVER:
kroozbox.properties
dbName = S:/Films/Krooze Box/Rhosendale.PVD
dbaseMediaRoot =S:/
localMediaRoot =S:/
For yours try this
In the globalparam.proprties file
href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/nts:
kroozbox.properties files
dbaseMediaRoot = f:/
localMediaRoot = f:/
If that does not work try moving your DB file to your F: drive and changing the entry in the kroozebox.properties file
Good luck
