The accompanied online media database doesn’t always provide one, so somethimes I have to get my own. I have the folder.jpg and .mp4.jpg all worked out…some how! But I can’t seem to figure out how to get the images I want as backdrops for each individual .mp4 file. On top of that, I will have to write in my own movie info as an .xml file. I don’t have much experience with that. I’ve only tried it recently with a program named “Movie Gui Builder”, but I’ve left that for now inorder to get the Folder and .mp4 .jpgs worked out the way i want them. I’ve done that and now I’m ready for the next step and even though I’ve tried renaming the intended backdrop image alot of different ways, nothing comes up on the TV screen. I’ve run out of ideas, so if anyone has any idea on what I can try or preferrably, exactly how to do it! That would greatly appreiated.
I’ve tried, video.mp4.backdrop,
video.mp4.backdrop.jpg,
video.backdrop.mp4.jpg,
video.video.mp4.backdrop,
video.video.mp4.backdrop.jpg
This is my fisrt time with a media streamer or anything like it, besides an Ipod that is. Only comparison is adding images and media info through itunes, the latter of which I’ve never tried. I just remembered that I can add media Info on itunes though. I’m gonna try that later, but that still doesn’t help me with the backdrop issue! Can someone help with that issue first? And then I’ll work my way up to the .xml part and see how itunes does with that.
And I don’t think thumbgen is an option for me, I’ve heard that it’s not compatibale with Mac.
Thanks allot!
