0Fix for Stark Covers crash on x64 systems

I’ve been hav­ing vari­ous issues run­ning Stark Cov­ers ever since I switched to Win­dows 7 x64.  Today, after explor­ing I’ve dis­covered the fol­low­ing com­bin­a­tion of fixes.

[bash]  Attempt­ing to determ­ine media type via MediaInfo.dll Could not determ­ine video typeSystem.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a pro­gram with an incor­rect format. (Excep­tion from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)   at MediaInfoLib.MediaInfo.MediaInfo_New()   at MediaInfoLib.MediaInfo..ctor()   at StarkCovers.Program.MediaInfoDLL(String path)   at StarkCovers.Program.StarkConsole(String[] args)[/bash]

This is easy to accom­plish — simply replace the mediainfo.dll in the Stark­Cov­ers folder with a 64bit ver­sion.

The next issue is that for some reas­on the way Stark Cov­ers called Medi­aInfo res­ults in a fail­ure to identi­fy quite a few types of file with the following…

[bash]Attempting to determ­ine media type via mymovies.xml Type not found in mymovies.xml Determ­in­ing media type via file exten­sion File exten­sion not recog­nized cur­rently Attempt­ing to determ­ine media type via MediaInfo.dll CodecID/Hint "" CodecID "" Deprec­ated Codec/Family "" Codec not iden­ti­fied by MediaInfo.dll[/bash]

There are 2 ways to resolve this.  Either edit all you MyMovies.xml files and add in a media type, e.g. <Media Type>DVD</Media Type> or, if you use Media Cen­ter Mas­ter, use the post pro­cessing fea­ture to pass the inform­a­tion dir­ectly to stark covers
