It’s a problem with Thumbgen.

Nobody can get moviesheets etc until an update.

Cheers

relaxjack, go to this link and download the file:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/316dbzxt1u0a6r7/Latest_ThumbGen.rar

It is a 126mb download and is the latest fully setup version of Thumbgen, preset and everything.

This exact version is working perfectly for me.  When you want to get movie sheets for TV shows select the profile “Updated TV Shows Profile”.  For movie sheets for Movies select the profile “Movies Orig”.

When you go to run the program just double click on Thumbgen.exe.  It takes around 30 seconds or so to fire up so be patient.

All the settings, the profiles etc are already done for you!

504

Thank you so much for the latest Thumbgen rar and set up—AWESOME!   Now, any idea on how  you set “everything” up to do music?

505

Thanks all for help.

TMDB does not work and hence cannot get metadata. Or is it only me?

Sorry mate, using the stuff you downloaded I just did covers etc for Downton Abbey and By Any Means, 2 UK TV shows!  All worked perfectly!

I think it still works for TV shows, but not Movies.

“TV Shows” still work because the TVDB didnt change API

Neither Thumbgen 1.3.2.0 or 1.3.8.3 is creating any MOVIE information.  1.3.2.0 was working fine until today when I tried it and nothing (9-24-13).  Will someone post when its WORKING please.

510

Sorry, I meant Thumbgen 1.3.5.2 not 1.3.2.0.

511

Taken from the ThumbGen Forum, this was written by the creator of ThumbGen and was posted a few days ago.:

I am sorry for the delay but I am far away from home until the end of this week. Therefore expect a tmdb collector fix towards this weekend.

Every now and again, open the latest version of ThumbGen and click on the “File” tab.  Now click on ‘Check For Updates’ and when available you can download the most recent version.

Another suggestion also from the same Forum (available via the ThumbGen website, click on “Support” and then Forum).

just go to http://www.themoviedb.org directly download the fanart u want and manually add them in thumbgen :) take like 2 min more for each movie :)

512

Use the method listed above (File, Check For Updates) and download the latest version updated recently. 

Now 1.3.9.0 is available and fixes the movie download sheet problems.

It is also available for download from the ThumbGen website.

513

Is there anyway to increase the speed of the background movie sheet load speed? It seems to go from default to black then movie sheet ~ 2 sec or so.

Btw thanks @Tinwarble for the excellent documentation and theme.

514

The only way to change the duration is in the Photos / Slideshow settings.  The backdrops use the same settings.

515

It’s the initial load I am trying to speed up.

516

Could I get a little help here? I know I’m missing something small but I can’t quite get it figured out.

For some reason I’m no longer getting the mirrored lower image. This only pertains to the cover images everything else is generating fine.

When I generate the images for my movies both th X_cover.jpg and X.jpg are coming up as plain square 200x300 .jpg images. Previously the X.jpg would come up as a 192x369 .jpg with the mirroring below.

When The Movie DB made it’s change awhile back, I though something had gone wrong and started tinkering with settings but I failed to take snapshots or write down how the settings were prior to my messing with them, and now I can’t figure out how to get it back to how it was.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

517

Well, I tried starting everything over from scratch. I deleted (moved to another HDD) my old Thumbgen folder and re-downloaded, unzipped and placed all the templates in the template folder again. though I’m still getting the same results. Everything is correct (display wise) aside from the coverbox, (or is it thumbnail, extra thumbnail). One thing I did notice when checking on my SMP is when I hit play on a movie, it briefly shows the coverbox (with the mirrored image) only slightly out of the themes designed frame.

I tried to post screenshots of my settings, but the character limit was exceeded.

518

I finally got it working again. It’s not exactly the same as I had it before, but it does work. The only thing still stumping me is I now have three tabs in the movie sheet editor where before I only had two to bother with. Previously I only had the main sheet tab, and IIRC the spare sheet; now I have those as well as the extra sheet tab. Not prefferable for me, but it will work.

2 questions…

I know Mojo Theme Download  is the main theme. I just place the .zip in browse and click submit to install.

But what do I do with the  Thumbgen Cover Box Template Download , Mojo Glass Moviesheet 1 & Mojo Glass Moviesheet 2, d o I submit those too?

Last question, is a there a list of themes compatible with SMP? I only found the Mojo theme and Dark theme.
