MediaBrowser

[DemonSeed]

I have 2 questions:

1. Not all movies have backgrounds? Can I do this manually?
2. I have downloaded actor pictures from this this thread but how can I put this in Mediabrowser?

Well I think q 2 has been answerd very well but as for 1 the answer is yes you can get your own pics. Try using one of the MetaData Scrapers on the cover page and you will be able to choose your backdrop and covers.

I prefer Meta Browser and Media Center Master

Meta Browser will let you choose what you want to see

try going to ProgramData/Media Browser and move the Styles_DoNoEdit.mcml into a empty folder then relaunch and see what it does

as for TVersity I dont know what it is so I cant help on that one

I moved the Styles_DoNoEdit.mcml file into a different folder within the mediaborwser folder (test folder). I tried to connect and MC said it didn't have permission to access the mediabrowser folder. So I shared the folder with "everyone." When I try and access it now I get this "Access to path 'C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser\MediaBrowserXml.config' is denied. Reset to default?" If I choose Yes, the error goes away then moments later, I get an error saying "THe media browser program has stopped responding and your will be returned to Windows Media Center." If I choose No, MC freezes and I have to go back to the dashbaord to do anything.

I don't have a extender so I really cant help to much here.
Try going to the MB forum and get some help there.

Hi,

First time I've posted but thought I would share the folder images that I use. The stock image used was created by Manicho

 

[DemonSeed]

First let me say welcome to the forum.
Then let me say...Wow I really like those mind if I ask where to get them from?

 

[ian804]

I don't know if I can post links so if not then please delete:

DVD Case+Art - PSD file by `manicho on deviantART

Download the PSD file and then play till your hearts content, it appears to be the same site as where the standard DVD cases came from as well, I'm currently using the above as my folder icons for TV series.

I recommend making the icon background transparent using the instructions on page 1 of this thread and removing the background when saving as a .png, as with the backgrounds it can start to look messy!

 

[DemonSeed]

Cool thanks for that. I'll play with it and see what I cant come up with.

Thanks for sharing!

 

[DemonSeed]

If you would like to share the icons you have made I would love to add you and your icon collection to the cover page of my post. If not then I'll say good job on your work so far and thanks for the psd.

Later
DS

Hi ian804, welcome to the forums.

Thanks for sharing that i'm gonna have a play too

 

[ian804]

I have no problem at all with the files being shared, only problem is how do I send them over?

If you have any problems with the psd let me know and I'll be able to help.

 

[DemonSeed]

Well you can do a few things ether email me them at [email protected] or if you use MSN Messenger then send them to [email protected]

or you can try dropbox witch is how I share everything.

 

[ian804]

Got the dropbox sorted now, only 6 files at the mo but will add more including a new template of a DVD box set that I am messing about with.



Gallery - Dropbox - Photos - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy.

t41 what do ya think of this one?

Settingsun made some more at his thread. He gave me the timplate so I did this one plating around

It will work, The other looked better with just a pile of different films in a stack, but i dont want you to go czy, i know u gotta lot of forums to deal with, it will work just fine, thanks for helping me out. I guess it's time for me to load photoshop or the whole cs pack i got in my HD, and get with the prgram - lol
Wass off line as had to pay 3 cable bills at once, should be good for a while now.

 

[DemonSeed]

Just for you t41. I hope you like it. If the scale is not right let me know and I will fix it.

I think this ones the best I just finished it and I'm sure the one you will want.
I made this one to be the same size as one of settingsuns icons so they will be the same size in MB

Download my collection

I don't mind taking requests.

I'll try to get them completed ASAP, however you may want to hold on to see the next icon I am working on, that's if I can stop photoshop crashing!
