Ahah yes you’re right I’ve forgot it!!! :smileyvery-happy: Mybe I can find a powerful adaptor to get the wifi connection on the hub but between the router and the hub there’s a long distance…
is this supported?
Realtek RTL8188CU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter??
hi! i really like the style of the music display but my hub doesn’t show the covers correctly. in list view they’re all displayed like a dvd-cover and therefore they’re uglily stretched. in folder view they overlap which isn’t very pretty as well. any ideas?
Search the web for a large resolution cover and artist wallpaper photo or what else
Now you have the two file to make a music sheet with thumbgen
If you don’t have thumbgen download it here THumbGen, copy the template into template folder in thumbgen
In thumbgen option, imput/output Naming, select the extention of main moviesheet to .png to have transparency
You have to make a quicksheet using the cover and the wallpaper, remember to select the correct template
Now using your hub select the get info option to get information about the album (the hub will generate an xml file and possibly a cover)
Replace the cover with the one you make with thumbgen, (you have to overwrite it) if the hub doesn’t generate the cover then you have to copy the musicsheet in the album folder of the hub and rename it as the xml file (they must have the same name)
If you do those passage you will have the musicsheet and the cover display correctly
okay okay okay. i’ll have to resign from my job if i want to do this for 240 artist folders with up to 68 subfolders (albums)… :smileyvery-happy: no-no-no!!! thanx a lot for your instructions but that’s toooooo much work for me!!! i’ll keep the default theme then…
Hahahahah LOL we’re both waiting for thumbgen new version that will support musicsheet so it will do it automatically and we will save a lot of time XD, I spent a whole afternoon to make musichseet for 12 albums hahaha
Has anyone come up with a better way to make folder thumbs. All my movies look great but my TV Series folders always look terrible.
I know its a Bug, or a glaring omission that the folder jpgs look so dire.
I usually crate a dummy movie folder, let TG scan it, then drop my own cover into the moviesheet, I then save it, cut out the thumb, and save that as a Jpg.
This is a total pain, I am also having problems finding a size that works, it seems so random, if I compile this media library any more, my head and the Hub will go on fire.
Yes, this is a good site for music wallpaper… in fact, i’m pretty sure XBMC scrapes this site for music backdrops.
I remember last year (s) people requesting ‘Thumbgen’ Author to please support music ‘scrapeing’ look-up for music.
From memory, in about November/December 2010 he said Music Would be supported in 2011…
Nearly 6 Months into 2011 … and no music feature update (also looks, like there wont be… author seems be only doing maintenance *updates* )
So for now, it’s a manual process… (personally, for the moment, im just devoting my time to favourite music albums/cd’s until there is a better and easier way to do a large music collection)
Thankx Tinwarble, I remember using one before, thanks for the prompt. I made one from Joeys Moviesheet witha Bluray cover.
I’m having real bother showing Folder.jpgs.
I clear media server, total power down, change sizes…being a right pain.
edit - strangely renaming them to png then jpg. Or renaming to .png and leaving it,make them show up, and thats after me saving it as a jpg from TG. Strange…

JS.
TG also stated that he was looking into building a new version from scratch. As the author does this on his spare time, and probably doesn’t make much from donations, he his probably preoccupied making a living.
The maintenance releases are to keep the current version of TG operational and keep up with the changes from the sites that TG scrapes from. But if TG has stated that he will add something, then he usually comes through on it, you just have to be patient.
yeah! i actually expected that there is a solution for this… anywhere! but… it’s not! i wonder how e. g. all the xbmc users obtain all the infos… i don’t think they do by foot.
i have already 6 (5 ethernet and 1 audio extender) in my house and it works stable and fine. never had any breakdowns also if hub and 3 pc’s were running

This topic would be better discussed in other forums.
This is a ‘Theme’ forum and this thread is for my ‘AEonish Hub Theme’.
