Yeah, I got it to work. I dl a box set icon, but I made it full size and then put save picture as. That dosen't work you have to put save on the preview thing when you click on it and just name it folder.jpg. Anyways I've got all my boxsets done on icons now. I just can't find and good box set backdrops. Does anyone know where I can find some. All I keep finding are the gerne backdrops, but i dont need those.

I want to put my dvds and blurays on my computer also. So far all I have on my computer it dled movies. I have no idea what progame to use. Thanks for your help.

We are working on a complete set of Boxset Backdrops to go with my collection.
Media Browser BBS • View topic - Boxset Backdrops and Others

As soon as they are all complete, we will post a download

Oh Ok thanks, I figured out that you can just put a wallpaper up there as long as you name the backdrop.jpg I was thinking that you had to have a certain type of file pic or something. I'm sure yours will be a lot nicer than what I can find, so I'll replace them as they come out. I am using you box set icons. They are very nice. ​

I do have one more question tough. I am really confused as to what DVD ripper would be the best to use. Everyone seems to be saying something different. Can you advise me on which one would be best for a novice on a budget?

Thanks a lot Demon Seed, All your work is great, and I've been reading a lot of your post. They have helped me so much, and I'm sure many other too. ​

the initial post is a pain in the ... to read.

i feel mildly irritated.

 

[DemonSeed]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Sorry, it needs redone. But i just dont want to do it.

This was the first big post I ever put together. And I'll be the first to say, it looks like hell. But the info is good. And there's a tun of it there. You just have to weave your way through it.

And it doesnt help that the forum has retooled its look several times since I made that post. It really did used to look a lot better.

Anyway....

As you can see from my latest post tho http://community.mediabrowser.tv/permalinks/1482/movie-boxset-icons-by-big-arrickson-demonseed I'm getting a lot better at all this.

[sergiogarcia9]

[sergiogarcia9]

I'm really curious to know why you felt the need to post that here? :sarc:

I can only want to argue with you on that topic. I have found just the opposite to be true. MC is very easy to setup, and even easier to use. Totally reliable. And with wonderful plugins like MediaBrowser, it truly does not get any better!

Anyway.... If your post was a plea for help to setting up MC. Then perhaps if you ask nicely I may just give you all the help you could need.
If it wasn't.... well then I'm still confused why you posted the comment to begin with.

What's a good program to use to download trailers for the movies I have?

 

[DemonSeed]

Media Center Master works very well at finding trailers.

Media Center Master is good at most things these days; I prefer it to MetaBrowser, as it has more functionality, over and above meta-fetching.

i've been having problems with mediabrowser. i run the config utility but 7MC won't run mediabrowser instead it just says it failed to start. i've tried about 4 different builds beginning with the newest release all having the same issue. any help?

 

[DemonSeed]

First thing you need to do is go to your Hidden "C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser\Cache" and delete all the folders inside the cache folder. Then restart MB. 9 times out of 10 that will fix it.


EDIT: @valtonray did that help at all?

 

[valtonray]

not the first time, but eventually it did work. if anyone else has problems with mediabrowser you may need to uninstall an older version and delete the mediabrowser folder from your programdata folder before it will reinstall.

I'm having trouble to get my TV shows to show up right. The background image won't load properly. It looks like the opacity is set to about 50%. What is the proper setup for trailers under TV Shows?

Trailers under TV shows ??

Not sure that's supported is it ??

Perhaps raise a question on the MB Community Tracker.

Need more INPUT.... lol, not nearly enough info to go on to help you out.

On the trailers in TV Shows, that's not one I can truthfully answer. I don't really know how you would set that up.
What kind of trailers would you be wanting to play in your TV Shows anyway? Midly curious about that one....

The only tv show I have right now is the Pacific. The trailer I was talking about would just be the preview commercial. How can I take screenshots in MB?
