Got a couple of questions....

This is my New MB.

New Root Page in Vanilla!

In the root image above, how did you integrate an icon for MB in the Win7 Media Center UI? I would like to do the same.

Second, I have not yet added my TV series to MB. I'd like to hear some feedback on how well MB handles TV series, especially regarding metadata, backdrop images, etc.

Thanks.

You know that if you were using the right web browser those pictures would come to life. Really!! And I know your not because you can see the image your asking about! Change up Its worth it!
A few pages back you'll find a download for a regkey. Get that and use it.

As for the TV Shows It Works Better Than Great!
If you use a metadata fetcher it works even better but you dont have to. It will do it all on its own as well but with out the choice of what you see.

DemonSeed,

Thanks. I figured out the UI icon business. I have substituted an icon but, I really like the one you use. Do you have that icon available for public consumption by others?

What metadata fetcher do you use for TV series? For movies, I have been using a combination of Media Center Master and IMDB Metadata Tool. I do not believe that MCM yet handles TV series.

<meta/browser> is what I use for all of my fetching, and the Icon and a few others as well are on the cover page towards the bottom bout 3/4 of the way down the post.
There is a link to meta there as well.

I just learned that if your having trouble with MediaBrowser not showing up in Media Center that uninstalling MB going back to the old version then installing the new version over it works so you guys give it a try and see how it goes.

Old Media Browser 2.0.11

Download



New 2.1

Download



If all else fails I have copy of the test build just pier to the new one so you can try it as well.
Build 2.0.15

I've just installed the new version, and i've got no MediaBrowser showing in 7MC (7260 x86) any ideas.

I've uninstalled & re-installed, including deleting the folder in 'Program Data'

Have you tried to manually to delete the registry key that refers to MB? I will send you the key in a bit. I might even write a script to remove it for you. Give me some time to get that for you.

Anyone who does not want to use FF, try Cometbird http://www.cometbird.com/ I will try to see what I can to get them to work in IE, and provide feedback. Side note: DS keep up the good work. How is that script working for you?

 

[DemonSeed]

Like a champ! Thanks for that! You've been MIA for a while. You like the animated png's? I just learned how to do that!

Look in the registry: hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\media center\extensibility\entry points\{fc9abccc-36cb-47ac-8bab-03e8ef5f6f22} see if that key is there. I suggest uninstalling whatever version you have installed now, then go back to and see if it is still there. If it is, delete it, then reinstall the latest version. Hope that helps.
I mention the reg key with the assumption that the key did not change with the new version. When you get to the entry points dword, expand it, then click each key and look at the right pane for the title that says Media Browser. Delete the whole key once you find it. PM me if you need more help. I will work on a script to search the registry and remove all reference of MB. Like I said, I will try, hopefully by the nights end, I will have it done.

Dude, once again as I have said in the past, you are very talented, and you seem to like this kind of stuff. You have a knact for it, and with no formal IT back ground or any education in graphic design, you impress me a lot. You should harness that talent, and find a way to make it profitable for you. There are always companies that need someone with your skills. Keep up the good work. I am still not working, but my consulting company is keeping me alive.
Here is a link to the batch file I wrote to delete the old MB reg key
