Wow…
Ok,
So…one last question, think I know it can’t be done though. Is it even slightly possible to enable linksheet or background etc for folders? Or another suggestion that doesn’t say 'don’t use folders, lol) I am also having trouble getting xml data to show for folders too, I have tried several read options.
Thanks dude
i was hoping someone could help me install this theme in all its glory. I have managed to installed the theme and am now stuck.
-
what files structure should i have in my root e.g video, photos, music?
-
how should filter the file view? folders?
-
how do i get the cool pictures for the movies and the info? I want high quality so do i use thumbgen?
I just want it to look like how it does in the screenshots.
Simple set up is best:
Music Folder>Music Album>Music Tracks
Video Folder>Video (named correctly)
Photo Folder>Photo Album>Photos
If on Pc, make sure they are shared. Select media source on wdtv>select folder. The rest prettying takes care of itself
*pretty much

Sure, the theme can be modified to enable Linksheets (for files and/or folders) if you want… then it gets complicated
(Lots of reading, extra work, 3rd party software involved if you wish to go down this path)
If you have a WDTV Live Hub… Linksheets *easy*
If you have a WDTV SMP Linksheets *30 Megabyte Limit for Linksheets*
If you have a WDTV SMP Linksheets *custom firmware bypass the 30 Megabyte Limit*
Alaska Resurface Theme was designed as a
Non Moviesheet / Non Linksheet / Non Thumbgen Theme with *KISS* technology in mind (for myself and others to use)
*Edit* Granted, the “Default” Moviesheet display in Gallery View was easy to implement … because it requires no extra work … it’s using the default Mochi behaviour to display it
(it uses the internal scraper to generate the xml backdrop streaming links from tmdb)
nvm

@JoeySmyth: thanks, not sure I wanna mess around too much!! Ha! Wel, I will do a test, but doubt it will run a-swell as you have it set up!
“Finally the “Theme” designer includes these lines of XML code into their Theme which makes the “Linksheets” appear
For Gallery View: <image image=”@@browse_text" x=“0” y=“0” w=“1280"h=“720” scale=“100” bg=“1”/>
For All Other Views: ”
Where would this be placed? And would it only show under thumbs, clock and so on? I wouldn’t want it over the top of everything.
Thanks
Hey!
So, I added these lines of code to rv_gallery_browse_page.xml using notepad++ and uploaded my folder image (without .jpg) - the folder on WDTV displays the linksheet, but overlays everything!! :;( This code is at the end, just before
<image image=“@@browse_text” x=“0” y=“0” w="1280"h=“720” scale=“100” bg=“1”/>
Pleaase please tell me how to make this as background image, so everything else is still on top, I wouldnt even mind if that nice overlay you have is in front!!
So so close…is last thing I need to get full resluts I am looking for!
Ha! Sorted it, just placement of text was all…So, the only thing is the text xml for folder! been reading on this, has anyone got a final solution on how to achieve this?
metadata text will not display for folders.
if you want text to display on the linksheet then you will have to design a linksheet with text on it.
Example:
Here’s an abandoned example (i no longer have the thumbgen template … lost in a reformat)
Thanks, I can do that then I guess…you know of hand what font/size is used for the metadata text? Will try and match look of metadata on files
Joey, if you have the time of course, would it be at all possible to upload a Dark Vertical version that has both the drive thumbnail, and the watched code?
I’ve done my best to combine them, and I’m getting some nasty results!
Thanks Joey!!
Edit: I’m using the video browse view, if that matters
@TheCMH
I’ll look into it later today
Here you go, all done

You rock. Thanks Joey!! Works wonderfully.
Does anyone know what font is used for metadata text (overview) I can’t for the life of me figure it out! :S
Size would be handy too!
It’s a proprietary font (you’ll have to find a free font that looks similar)

Thanks Joey, is tricky looking on pc in one room running back and forward trying to match, lol…may take a photo or something. Sounds petty right?! Just want it to all match up

Good Exercise isn’t it
Try the Capture Snapshot Feature on the SMP (insert a flashdrive and follow these instructions)
It will make things easier
