Surreal Media Center V1.3 SMP Theme

[sherpa]

Oh, you're right   I knew I already did that, but never really thought about it being seconds.  Thanks   

What about the folder/file structure, would you know what's allowed for it to work w/ the themes?  Or should they all be in 1 folder only, no compromise?

I kept all my movies in one mail folder along with the movies jpg, mkv_sheet & also the xml for each video. It still doesn't display it. I am not sure if its to do with the latest firmware I am on (1.08.17). Thanks

I got it working. Its so much better. Thanks for the theme. I had the file extension messed up and hence it wasn't showing up. Once i changed .nfo to .xml the moviesheet showed up however I see when I move from one movie to the other there is a little delay in displaying the moviesheet though. Is that normal? Please advice.

I keep my movies in one folder, much easier.

Just have folders as "Animated " (for kids), "Romance" (for wife) and "Movies" for all the rest.

Ok, so w/ this structure, how do you display thumbnails for the 3 folders while viewing at the top level?  I presume putting one .jpg for each folder icon?  If so, any naming convention needed for it to be seen first? (since there would be other .jpg files inside the folders for the movies).

Cheers!

Just name the image (thumbnail) you want for each folder "folder.jpg" (without quotatuon marks).
You may need to delete the hidden .wd_tv folder on your hard drive if incorrect image is showing and restart SMP, the .wd_tv folder will regenerate itself.

So, I have ended up changing a lot more in the new update then originally planned. Speed and over all look has been the priority. As stated before the new firmware has caused me some issues, and I’m still working through a few of them.

I will be working on it none stop all this week. If we hit 15 or more Kudos (at 6 now) by the end of this coming weekend I’m thinking I will have to upload what I have so far, and then release a few future updates.

Below will give you an idea of a few of the new graphic updates.

Thanks again everyone for your help posting within this thread and helping others.

Thank you. Can you please let me know how to install it on WD TV Live? Also you mention using BlackMamba? Is it just for the templates & moviesheets? Can you also let me know if we should set "Media Library" to off on the WD TV Live? Thanks again!

I recommend turning off the Media Library you will lose the Dashboard and YouTube trailer feature, and some other stuff I don’t use. Other than that your media center will be faster.
