BLACK MAMBA by DeVicious V1.3 (Big Update April 6th 2012) [ Edited ]

I just wanted all mine to show as "DVD". I renamed generic.png to generic_old.png and then copied dvd.png and renamed the copy generic.png.

How do I get it approved? I have taken another photo here:

My firmware is the one before the current one that  resolves the MLB issue.

hmm your thumbnails seem to be out of proportions, if you compare my originals based on yours just based on the red bar you wull notice that your red bar has a lower height and the red is more saturated as mine. Your JPG file you uploaded yesterday is no longer available for download but i think you might have the wrong DPI seetings (or it still could be anti aliasing http://www.snowbound.com/images/antialias.gif)
If you have higher DPI (dots per inch) settings as 72/96 the image will show larger on the screen but the theme will downsize it again. I am playing "House" here and playing a hunch, a too large image would explain everything, this is exactly how an image would look if you would upload it in way too high dimensions and downsize it in the hub.

Please check your DPI settings and report back here. thanx

 Hi DeVicious, I think was doing a bad installation of the template files.

By the way I made a cool discovery with this all confusion, I discover that you don´t need to rename all the file with the last extension (BLUERAY, DVD, ETC) for thumbgen make the cover art, instead you can rename the parent directory and then  all the files inside that folder will have the box art with the name on the parent directory.

So all the files inside DVD directory and HDTV  will have the same box in this case a box art DVD and HDTV and you don´t need to rename each file with (movie.name.dvd.avi or season chapter.hdtv.)

KUDOS for the find

this is an excellent find and I didn't even know it will work after setting up the name recognition like that.

I tested it in my live folders and this is totally brilliant......

I was renaming my Sci-Fi folder to "Sci-Fi Bluray" and it would change all files to a bluray cover that don't already have a source information in the name. If your files already have the source in the name they remain untouched.

This saves people a lot of time in the future and it allows anyone to name their movies as they feel again. After generating the sheets you can rename the folder again and all is perfect.

I love that find!!!!

Hi All

Great theme by the way......but I am having an issue with displaying the genre thumbs in the genre view it just shows a movie pic from that particuar genre. . Ive read that you can build a folder structure to make this work but is there another way due to the volume of work I would need to do I would ike to avoid this if possible. my movie structure is

drive\movie storage folder\movie\movie.bluray.ext

I'm sure I'm overlooking something... If someone would be so kind to point me in the right direction

...by the way using SMP and all works great

try renaming your genre jpg name to folder.jpg

but I have a feeling that the player uses the first jpg image alphabetically.  If folder.jpg doesnt work try renaming the genre thumb to aaa.jpg

i use folders for all my movies / well i used to. Im currently getting them all out of folders (when i get the chance)

not able to check if im 100% correct on this as im not home.

Dont forget to delete the wd_tv folder off your drive and delete media library to ensure its not using an old image even after the update of the file name.

Yep, I think BigRoo is correct.  I actually had to rename my folder.jpg to 1.jpg as i had some movie titles that started with a number i.e '5 days of war' and it was using the corresponding jpg as the folder image.  Worked fine after deleting the thumbs directory under .wdtv.

Thanks Devicious for your reply. My dpi is definitely 96.
