My apologies if I seemed unclear, but that is how it works for me. I just repeated the same instructions I posted earlier, and it worked again, this time with the Centrality theme. The only difference is the way the options look. In the chocolate theme,the options appear as big colored round buttons in the middle of the screen, can't miss them. In the Centrality theme, they appear on the bar on top. All I did was bring up my tv season, in this case beast wars, when the main beast wars folder rose to the top to indicate that it is highlighted, I pressed my play button on my remote, and then the various play options appeared. I press my right or left buttons, depending on which option I want to select, then I press the OK button, and the series begins to play. I will camtasia it to show what I mean if anyone wants to see it in action.
Disclaimer: This is not an attempt to dispute against Demonseed. I highly respect his input and I am greatful for his contributions to this project. The guy genuinely has a passion for this plugin, and it is demonstrated in his constant posts, and works of art. I am just stating how the options work for me. Keep up the good work Demon, can't rep you, you all repped out, lol.

Edit: Here are clips showing the play options for two themes. The first is for the Centrality Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ig96BUExmU
The second is for the Chocolate theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnBqNmawkks

Hi guys.
I thought I would drop a line to let you guys know that I'm working on a giant project, making tutorials showing how to use photoshop to make custom icons to be used in MB.
The thread I'm posting everything in is Make your Own FanArt!! Photoshop Tutorials, Actions & Icon PSD's - Media Browser Community Tracker

Each tutorial contains everything you will need to recreate the icons I feature. If your interested please come check it out!

Later, DS

Meta Browser went pay earlier this year or at least version 2 did, you could prob still find a copy of the old version floating around or you could try Media Center Master official website which is what I use and is try.

Media Browser (as stated above) is still free

 

[DemonSeed]

lol whops, I totally missed he was asking about meta. :sarc:

Yes Meta Browser2 went pay. I think it's a $30.00 app now.

Will probably need to go post that as a bug for Vanilla on the Media Browser Community Tracker so Throg the theme developer can address the issue

 

[Wolfzz]

Thanks DemonSeed but I decided to use the Harmony Theme which dosent have the unwatched count

Try using Media Center Master, that's free.

Hi adis,

To your first question, All you need to do is run the cinfig tool found in the windows start menu. Then when it opens, highlight your collection, ie movies, HD movies, documentaries..etc... and then move to the right and press Change Image. Then browse to the image you want to be the icon for the listing.

On your next question, I'm not understanding what exactly your asking. Could you reword and ask again please

ehm....
i didn´t get what u mena with
"cinfig tool found in the windows start menu. Then when it opens, highlight your collection, ie movies, HD movies, documentaries..etc... and then move to the right and press Change Image. Then browse to the image you want to be the icon for the listing" ...

i´ve been additing icons with program Media Browser Configuration wizard (don´t understant that some of them are ok and some aren´t : ( )

to my second question - it will be easy to put picture so here u r
what i´d like to have is that istead those "blue" picture i will see picture from each episode of "big bang theory".

is there any video manula how to set all media browser????? it will help me a lot because i have a milion questions

 

[DemonSeed]

Here is the link to the Media Browser Knowledge Base Media Browser Community Tracker You will find most any question you may have, has already been answered there in the countless tips and how to's.

As for your season eps, do you have internet providers turned on? If not, thats why they are all blank. MB needs to be able to connect to the net to collect all the info "metadata" for everything.
You can also use a 3rd party app to scrape for all your metadata. Media Center Master, and Yammm are the 2 leading free tools you can use to gather all your info.

Now back to the Home page icons. You said your using the configuration tool to set all the images, (thats what I was saying above) What type images are you tiring to use, jpg or png? I think ether or will work, but I'm not 100% on that. If the ones not showing are jpg, try converting them to png and see if that wont work.

If you still need any help after looking over the KB (Knowledge Base) I'll be happy to help you with any thing you may need.

D - movies - tv shovs - lost - episode1, 2, 3......


Thank you

Adis for media browser & media centre master to grab the correct meta data for you you will need to have your media set up something like this.

D:\Movies
D:\Movies\movie 1
D:\Movies\movie 1\my movie.avi
D:\Movies\movie 2
D:\Movies\movie 2\my movie.mkv
etc etc

D:\TV
D:\TV\Lost
D:\TV\Lost\Season 1
D:\TV\Lost\Season 1\lost S1E1.avi
D:\TV\Lost\Season 3\lost s01e01.mkv

don't forget to add the new TV folder (or what ever you call it) to the list of folders MB & MCM watch
