Here you go. 24: Series Info
download the images you want and put them in the 24 folder as a folder.jpg and backdrop.jpg and MB will show them for you.

Its not really create your own theme kind of program, the themes are part of the code and therefor can not be changed by the user. For now its just the three themes to choose from.

Oh one thing how do I set up coverflow?

 

[DemonSeed]

If your in the diamond theme press up and you'll find the view option foe cover flow.
If in the Vanilla theme its in the wrench icon on the root page under "View".

has anyone on here managed to get Mediabrowser to work with Windws 7 (RTM, x64)? I tried both versions posted on the googlecode website, but I couldn't get the icon to appear with either build. The icon was absolutely no where to be found - not on the menu, not in the extra folder with the 2.1.1 build, and only in the extras folder in the 2.0.11 build.

if you have it with 2.0.11 then just right click it in the extras and set to main page then install 2.1.1 right over it.

thanks! another question I had was whether it's possible to place the Mediabrowser icon within the Movies strip? I found tutorials on how to delete the movies strip and on how to create a Mediabrowser strip, but not on how to put a Mediabrowser icon within the Movies strip...

Just replace the "application".png in the install directory with the one you wish to use.

I think I might have miscommunicated. I'm asking how to move the icon from the extras strip to the movies strip; I'm not asking how to change Mediabrowser's own icon.

There is a hack to do it but is a pain in the a** to get to work but if you still want it I will track it down for you, but tell me first so I wont wast time looking if you dont want to after seeing its a bitch to get it to work.

This is what I used. It's very easy to do.

Replace Default Movie Strip With Media Browser Strip

DemonSeed,

I have followed your instructions to add the trailer to Mediabrowser but I am not able to play the trailer. I know it is not a codec issue since I can play a downloaded trailer using MCE and MB. I have used the Gettrailers.exe and it was able to download a trailer file but it is a 24KB file. It seems very small for a 1080P trailer

Is the GetTrailers only download the link or does it download the whole trailer?

Thanks for your help on putting this tutorial.

Hi Tal, Welcome to the forum!

The trailers will only work with the Vanilla theme. That said, yes the trailer downloader is downloading the whole file.

You might want to give Media Center Master a try, it is much better a finding the trailers + it will add the info to the xml's also.

If ya need anything more just let me know!

DemonSeed,

Thanks for the quick reply. It seems that Media Center Master did download the whole trailer and that seems to fix the problem.

Another quick questions for ya. When I play one trailer and then I go back to another movie and try to play a different trailer, it never does play the 2nd trailer. If I wait for the 1st trailer to finish and then try to view the 2nd trailer, it does work like it should.

Am I missing something in my configuration?

Tal.
