I’ve spent way too many hours trying to fix it and should of probably just posted here first.
I’m running Mojo 1.08.06 on my TV Hub (Firmware 2.05.08)
I went through the PDF and followed all the instructions how to create covers, sheets, etc… Renamed the PNG to JPG and all that jazz. I set my folder view to Gallery View.
When I view my folder, I see the cover art/reflection, but I don’t see the backdrop. Also the XML file has the correct year/info, but it doesn’t show up in the gallery mode either.
I attached an image of what it does look like. I know I’m doing something stupid and easy to fix, but after reading the PDF 100x, I don’t see what I missed.
You need to update your firmware to 2.07.17. If memory serves me, local backdrops did not work in 2.05.08, and you should also be using this version of Mojo:
Yep, I tried doing a screenshot that way, wouldn’t work. So had to bust out the high pixel camera phone XD
I think that might be the issue, I updated to a newer firmware in the 2.x range and after rerunning Thumbgen they sort of started appearing.
Thank you for that link, I think I also got confused between versions of Mojo and wasn’t sure I was using the right one. I’ll give 1.12.01 a try and see if works.
Okay, I think I almost got it. Tried the newer version and now the backdrops are showing like the pictures. My only problem left is, regardless of what I put into Thumbgen or the XML file, it’s not displaying the Year.
For kicks I change some text in the desciption inside theXML and that updated okay. Even the XML file has the date. I made sure to use yyyy.MM.dd.
Anything I could possibly be doing wrong?
The date is in there as below, but still doesn’t show…
For the year, you have to set in TG options, General tab, Custom Date format = yyyy-MM-dd.
You also need to make sure that in the Input/Ouput Naming tab, Movieinfo export, dropdown box = Export using WDTV Live Hub format (DO NOT use Export using WDTV Live Hub format (new fw), except for TV shows).
That was it Tin, I figured it out looking at your test sheets and noticed they had hyphens instead of periods. Once I changed that, it appeared right away. Looks awesome now.
Wanted to throw one last question here, or should I create a new one?
Anyhoo, I did some searching on the forums, and I read I cannot use moviesheets for Folders. For example
I have
TV Series
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
The box art shows up fine for all seasons, and it has blank metadata at the top for each one. Is it possible to change the metadata? I tried folder.xml etc… but no luck, and assuming I’ve pieced together the information, there’s no way to change it. Also, the film reel at the left of metadata I’m assuming can’t be changed either. No worries if they can’t, as it looks awesome as is. Just that final finishing touch that’s eye-popping.
Yep! That was it, I think I had the right idea, just wrong hierarchy for the XML and naming conventions. That looks like what I wanted.
Out of curiosity, when i select a file name, the title flashes momentarily the file name, before displaying the title. Any way to get rid of that? Or is that just the way it works.
