Windows 7: MediaBrowser

Stomper, Glad you got your MB working at last, as zay has already covered at themes and plug-ins I'll only suggest getting a meta scrapper like media centre master, meta-browser or yamm. these 2rd party apps will save you downloading meta data via media-browser each time you enter it they ofc are totally optional and one which might suit one person might not suit another.

I second what Bonez has said. As for meta scrapers, my fav is MCM as it offers so many options. The way it manages the trailer downloads, it downloads torrents, and so many more. YAMMM on the other hand is great as well because it runs in the background as a service so you don't have to actually run it for it download the metadata. For those of us that download torrents, MCM can automatically rename, move your downloads to your movie collection folder that MB monitors. I use both meta scrapers.

hey zay, I installed the chocolate theme but I can't get the option to play all the contents either in order or in random mode, to be honest, don't get any pop up options to pick from.

Are there any settings I need to set up in order to play all the episodes of a particular season one after the other?

Thanks

I really need some help here. I tried following Demon's advice and going over to the MediaBrowser site, but I can never log in there. It seems as if all the forums are closed and I can't log in even after resetting my password.... SO... I'm reposting my earlier question with the hope that someone can answer it.

--------------------------------

One interesting thing I discovered after looking at my file structure is that my standard DVDs rip to a more shallow file/folder structure that my BluRays.

DVD Example: g:\movies\tranformers2\Video_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB = plays fine in MC

BD Example 1: g:\movies\transformer1\BDMV\Stream\00004.m2ts = Error in MC

BD Example 2: g:\ movies\transformer1\00004.m2ts = plays fine in MC


While it may seem that my problem is solved by just moving my .m2ts files up a couple of levels in the folder structure, if I have more than one m2ts files (chapters) in the folder, it wants to treat each one as a seperate movie.

I DO have the nested folders option turned on but it doesn't seem to make a difference. So.... it doesn't seem to be an external player issue for the blue ray m2ts files but a nested folder issue.

I have to be doing something wrong because the whole set up worked fine 2 days ago.

Zay wasent very clear on how to pull up that menu.

To access the Play All, Play Random, Play Unwatched popup, you just highlight the Show Folder and press play or Ctrl-P. That will bring up the menu. Don't enter the folder or the menu will not popup.
