Now i notice one major thing you are using local backdrops :laughing: so combined with reflections using jpg that should mean compatibilty with even the newer firmwares ?
yeah that is awesome indeed, seems i have to deal with that today myself, when I hold the left arrow key for longer than 1 second it will skip the page (7 columns) it is not changing the backdrop either but the entire navigation becomes unctorollable because somehow it is alos doing little steps in between. Let’s say I want to go from Episode 1 to Episode 8, all i had to do was press for 1 second… NO i end up somewhere at 10 or 11 and if I hold it too long i am ending up at 15 or even 23
my more dislike with most of the themes here is the 2 second delay before the background is desplayed. and withthe background having all the movie details it just looks odd.
(i know that’s a WD issue)… just would like an theme that looks this good but uses local details… still kudos to all for supporting the HUB even if WD is slow to do anything,

These 2 seconds are a myth, I remember reporting 5 seconds when it was first released now the average person thinks 2-3 seconds… on my hub with ExtremeDigitals Theme or my own with the brand new firmware it takes less than a second :-) even with the mirror effect (tested 10 times and took the average) Of course it would be better they would use a smoother way to translate the backdrop into the environment but waiting less than a second doesn’t bother me at all.
DeVocious… im looking forward to seeing your Mamba… I will have to live with the little delay… does one of you layouts have no Metadata ie just the Movie name. (maybe)… i love those full on Wall Layouts.
Thanx Extreme :-)… Kazgor I will answer everything tomorrow in my own thread, this is Joeys thread about reflections which is the coolest find ever. Let’s keep it on topic.
Uploaded a Demo on Page(1) added an alternate Gallery View with Case Overlays…
Added Note: Im not the biggest fan of the delay between displaying the backdrops in Gallery View.
This was just a little experiment to try and minimize the Hub from trying to load and display backdrops while you are navigating.
ie. Display the Backdrop… but when i navigate … keep displaying it … until i stop on another movie … then load the the Backdrop for the newly selected movie.
In my experience… when navigating it was always trying to display a new backdrop as i scrolled the the thumbnails, which is annoying because of time delay… ends up with backdrops almost flickering on and off as your are navigating.
i made the moviesheets for your reflection theme in thumbgen. i can create the thumbinal and sheet.but it creates metadata file .tmgd instead of .xml. which software you use to make xml files and what are the setting you use.please help me
Joey, you said- ‘Personally i try to remove ‘comments’ and ‘indentation’ … to reduce XML filesize and for efficiency.’
Does this actually speed things up? Is this proven?
If so then I better get deleting all my comments… you should see the state of my xml with all sorts of personal notes/ comments scattered through the code…maybe it will be twice as fast once cleaned up!! :smileyvery-happy:
