*edit* i have double checked and my screen does match with your instructions in image TG 03 General Tab.jpg,

i have also renamed the file to .dvdrip instead of - but i still don't get those lovely DVD covers.

You don't get the flags, you don't get the covers = your common folder is not where it is supposed to be.

to be perfectly clear, you copy the entire common folder inot Thumbgen/templates

you must not copy the contents of the common folder into the templates directory.

When you open the thumbgen folder it the path should read ....thumbgen/templates/common

Dev... 

Thanks for all the help... but it was down to my inablitity to read the instuctions properly... 

The line i did not follow correctly was

copy the 4 folders inside of "Black Mamba Templates" into Thumbgen/templates

I instead just copied the 2 folders to the template folder.

Really sorry!!..

Lovely theme though,

Thank You i am glad it works now

I have written the 3rd line in the instructions for a reason, lol (been there myself)

DeVicious how long does it take for the moviesheet jpg to load on your hub with this theme in Gallery view? I downloaded the theme and on my hub it took about 5+ seconds when selecting new movie.

DeVicious, once again thank you, the issue is certainly a minor one.

Thanks for a BRILLIANT looking theme and in my mind, on my SMP, it certainly loads quicker than many of the others.

Cheers

Thanks Rubicon.

I worked that out with some help from another  member here.

I put the image and screenshot folders and all the xml files in a zip file and uploaded via chrome. That part worked.

I deleted the wdtv folder from my USB HDD  and then went to the player itself.

I selected appearance and could see the black samba file there so i selected that and installed it.

I didnt get any noticeble change of appearance with the black backgrounds etc. The UI was still the stock looking one.

Although now when the player starts i get the normal "WD Live" splash screen and a few seconds later as its going through the start up process i get the "WD Live Hub" splash screen.  How do i get rid of that and why wouldnt the theme have changed?

Cheers

Is this theme designed to be used where a person has a setup with each movie in it's own folder?

Action (Genre)

 Green Lantern (Movie folder)

   Green Lantern.avi (the movie)

And BTW, FWIW, I had NO thumbgen\templates\common folder until I copied yours to my thumbgen templates folder. I can't seem to find a way to choose which of the DVD (etc.) covers I want to use. Seems I'm stuck with a black one.

I got it installed OK tho....I like it! But I'm so used to using Mojo. I have to figure out what the 7734 i'm doing all over again.

You need to rename your file. Green.lantern.xvid.avi or green.lantern.dvd.avi to get the cover

Looks good, will give it a try

anyone else having issues using THEMOVIEDB collector? 

just whatever film i point it at nothng is found and then i get a popup search box to search IMDB, but you have to manually type the film title in again and then it finds it.

So i have to do this one by one at the moment.

example..

Footloose (2011).dvdrip.avi

The Sitter (2011).dvdrip.avi

*edit*

seems unticking the option under General to "Detect movie based on folder name" fix it.. although it was still bring back stuff from IMDB. although not sure how much was from TMDb vs Imdb
