Great News i finally figured out how to use your own premade moviesheet with the Live Hub.
Now Comes in two versions
Anozided ExtremeMix 2.0

OsdModHub ExtremeMix 1.4
http://www.mediafire.com/?pdff1yl4l753bob
Backdrops are now working again, Also now Working with both metadata and moviesheets
Here are some sample moviesheets including the dummy file for you to test out

Ok Here goes:-
The whole Moviesheet concept is based around using your own generated custom moviesheets, for that i recommend using Thumbgen
1. Make sure Library Mode is switched on the Hub and you have either used the built in scraper or and manually created your xml files
2. Create your custom folder.jpg and moviename.jpg using Thumbgen
3. Also create your standard moviesheet at the same time with Thumbgen the moviesheet should be named as follows:-
moviename.mkv ------> moviename.mkv_sheet.jpg
(This will allow your moviesheet to be compatible with BOTH the Hub and the Live media players.)
4. Create a dummy movie file to trigger the moviesheet, the dummy file should be named as follows:-
moviename.mkv -------> moviename.mkv_sheet.mkv
(Just create a blank Text document and rename as above)
5. The Trick is that the hub is overlaying the thumbnail over the complete screen when you enter the folder (the hub will NOT downgrade the quality of the moviename.jpg as opposed to resizing the folder.jpg)
6. To make cleaner i have removed the metadata in this version of the test theme however note to themers you can leave it in if you want the hub to still display this info as a backup.
7. It is worth noting that if you run the built in scraper to rescan the info on a movie it will overwrite your custom moviename coverbox with the original vanilla version, HOWEVER this is not a big deal as you could use this anyway.
8. For now it is best to browse using Folders rather than ALL use the Green button on the Remote to choose the view. It will be possible to browse using ALL if the moviesheet allows transparency at the bottom or the theme is redone to take this into consideration
9. The jpg should be 1280x720 in size (this is standard for most thumbgen templates)
10. To solve the issue of the Moviesheet not showing immediately when you enter a folder
In The Menu, Press the Green Button to get the Filter and Sorting Menu.
Gotto Sorting -----> Ratings -------> Choose the ^ arrow and press ok
This will filter by Ratings and as the Moviesheet as no ratings it will always show first !!!
11. In the Menu goto Setup----> Video Settings -----> Video Playback Sequence
Change to Normal
This will bounce it from the dummy file to the main movie…
Means you can press ‘PLAY’ using the Hub’s remote whilst on the moviesheet and the movie starts playing !!!
Note use ‘Play’ button and NOT ‘Enter’ button.
Included in this custom theme are a couple of views from Ohagi, all i have done is merged the views into Anodized
CREDIT goes to PychoTHC, juliojs, lilibabe, zballz, Hell3ond and firetix for their work on the themes and custom views, this theme is mainly just a Mix of all of the work of the real themers above.
Themers PM me if you want the lines of code that i changed, also you can create your moviesheet as a png file with transparency then rename to a jpg . What this does it allow you to have the live rotating backdrops behind your custom moviesheet.
PS i have also discovered that you can create a ‘blank’ xml file so that the Hub will think that the internal movie scrap has been done. It does not need to have any info in it just allows the Hub to trigger the correct image. just create a blank text document and rename it movie.xml…
You can use thumbgen to create the movie info as an xml file which does the trick

Here is a major update of my theme
Main changes are:—
New Blue Anozided Backgrounds
All icons are repositioned at the bottom of the screen
New List Mode works with in Music mode as well
New Music icon on main menu curtesy of Tinwarble
This theme has been designed to work for normal use even if you don’t use the moviesheet function, however it really work better if you do so, please read instructions above for the naming structure. Use the Dummy movie file as standard from now onwards as this gives best compatibility.
Your choice if you want to use standard moviesheets or transparent moviesheets both work…
When on moviesheet page Hit ‘PLAY’ not ‘ENTER’ to watch movie (make sure video is set to Repeat All in settings)
