Okay, I’ve made numerous posts about this, and apparently no one is willing to take 5 minutes out of their day to make a .zip for everyone, but… The only thing stopping me, and i’m sure A TON of other people from using moviesheets is the fact that i’d have to sit and create a moviesheet for EACH INDIVIDUAL MOVIE… Now as i can see from numerous screen shots made by the developers of these themes, we have a TON OF THE SAME MOVIES AND TV SHOWS…
Would any of you be willing to make a .ZIP of all of the METADATA and moviesheet files (i dont need the actual movies, as we both have all the same ones i’m sure) I just need all the XML’s, Jpg’s and Moviesheet files for all ur movies… It would literally take you like 10 minutes to make a zip file and upload it somewhere for everyone with a WDTV to download. And then instead of people having to download ur theme, and then build moviesheets for all their movies, they could download your theme, then download your metadata and moviesheet.zip of the 1,000 movies you’ve created metadata and moviesheets for and just copy/paste all the files…
Is anyone willing to create a zip of the xml’s, jpg’s and moviesheets and upload it somewhere for all of us to use ?
It’s depend a lot of think to make it compatible with every theme.
Everyone use in general this structure
movie.mkv (the actual movie) → Fine… It’s OK!
movie.jpg (the movie cover) → Fine… It’s OK!
movie.xml (Title, Autor, Length, MPAA, Backdrop “Sheet”, etc…) → Hmm… I’m French using French TEXT.
movie_sheet.jpg (the movie sheet) → Hmm, it’s depend Which Theme use…
For my part, I use Cache Thumb trick… Then the structure change and all is loaded with a batch file…
BUT… What you must know is Thumbgen generate a .tgmd file and you must keep it, if you want regenerate a new set of sheet for each file in a batch mode. In reality .tgmd file is a .zip file of the actual movie… If you really want save time to generate your .tgmd and using english, check into google “metadata movie pack” or “.tgmd movie pack”
Once i generate .tgmd file with thumbgen… it’s took me only 20minutes to pass through all my movie (and I’ve 5 batch process to made… 1-all movie 2-first of movie collection 3-all tv episode 4-season folder 5-serie folder
Even though its the same movie, it different naming, different video format, different audio format. We all have to generate our own moviesheets. If you have a mass amount stick it on auto, then go through amnaully do the ones that are wrong… easier to auto 300 and correct 50 then manually do 300.
Also as long as you also create the TMG file its easier and faster to regenerate if you change moviesheets
