If I understand the xml file must be created using the wd tv live hub get info function, and not using thumbgen?


 

 

You can also use a program like

to get the info and just have it save the xml

 

Its easier then doing it manually on the hub

SECTION 4: "How to Get it all Working Like the Demo Folders"

STEP 2:  Using your Live Hub get the 'Metadata' for you Movie(s) and/or Music
"press OPTION buttion on your remote.. and select 'Get Info'

 

Have you tested using TG to generate the .xml instead of using the hub options menu to do it?

TG can generate a hub xml... just would not use the moviesheet option.

Well done, looks really nice. If it moves as fast real time, then it will be excellent.

 

Thank you for all the hard work. :smileyhappy:

TG works fine for getting all the info. I only tried two tests of my own. one of the thumbnails does not fill the box, so don't know whats going on there.

 

It looks like you will need to have either all your movies in a Genre folder, or all in the root. As obviously only 1 movie throws the thumb over to the far left.

 

Really nice clean look though.

 

I'm just going to back up my blank xmls/jpgs to another folder, then rescan for this theme, then scan a hard drive full to see how it goes.

 

edit 1 - Thank god for tgmd files,  yeah all the covers seem to be smaller than the thumbnail box...?

I don't think its much faster than the last one to go through a line of movies, but I think thats all down to the xml files or something else, as its bizarre with both themes that the first and last 3 thumbs always fly.

 

edit 2 - Mmm. From just having a look at the Movie template file, the cover section is larger than the glass overlay.  As I noticed it stretches down too far and is under the film name text.

 

edit 3 - Tony your demo moviesheets look like this

The ones I create with Thumbgen look like this

Dunno where the black background is coming from ?

 

From looking at yours and TG created ones, the Demo ones have Alpha channel round the thumb ? But the TG ones

have a black joining border ?

Re: AEonish Hub Stage3 Beta Demo Download

Ok it works fine I resolved the issue, there was an incorrect option selected in thumbgen. I have a question, to make the music backdrops you can use thumbgen to download album cover and backdrops automatically and make the xml file? If not how I can make it?

read the ReadMe.txt file and read specifically the music section

Good skills drizzt09

 

Selecting png worked, you then rename to jpg after the fact.

 

Never knew you had the option of .png so thank you.

Re: AEonish Hub Stage3 Beta Demo Download

Thx drizzt09 I've red the ReadMe but I missed the part explaining the music procedure so I have to use the quicksheet option :smileyhappy:
