maybe a little background will help
first off meta sources, thumbgen is really the primary choice around here
there are a few others that I’ve never used
but for everysource one wants to use somebody has to write code that is specific to that individual website
currently thumbgen does not suport plugin code, which means somebody must write their own program
since this is a user maintained forum, there are few programers around here, of which I do not consider myself a program, even though I’ve done quite a bit of custom work on these devices
once that is done
you have issues with sharing xml’s
1st not all themes use xml data
so there are quite a few people that don’t generate or use them at all
2st WD made some changes resulting is xml profiles
which are firmware dependant
so even if I uploaded an xml, it’s possible for you to be on a firmware where the xml must be layed out differently
3rd linksheets
quite a few people are using this hack, mainly on hub currently
this requires that certain lines from the xml’s be removed or the xml be completely deleted
4th custom xml entries
while uncommon
one could make custom xml entries to force the WD to display data is a certain format
which I have done with my xml’s
5th naming conventions must be exact
if I have an xml “The Dark Knight”
it will not work with a move titled “Dark Knight”
and so on
are you really going to manually edit the file names for what depending on your collection could be hundreds or thousands of files
so with all of that
even if I uploaded my xml’s the chances of them actuall working with your set up are slim
as for thumbgen bundles, I know goodbye black mamba has a bundle
which other themes have bundles, I’m not sure
but the bundles just make the necessary thumbgen settings for required for using thumbgen with that specific theme
so based on all of that, to me at least it would make more sense to create your own using thumbgen or other programs
admitadely tvdb and thumbgen is largely broken currently
there are some other programs out there, all of which I’ve never used
but might be worth a try to see if it’s actually a thumbgen problem as opposed to a tvdb problem
hope the background helps
p.s.
I have seen post claiming there program works on MAC, I’ve also seen linux based programs for doing this as well
