Noob questions (network shares, themes)

Well, first welcome to the forum.

To answer you question.

  1. Go to Setup / System / Media Library / Media Library Manager for Network Share / Add network share to media library, then add the folder on your NAS/PC that you what to add to the Media Library.  Then press the HOME button, wait for the SMP to finish compiling and  select Videos, then press the red button on the remote and select “My Media Library”

  2. What exaclty are you looking for that the xml data doesn’t already display.   The xml data already displays the Episode Name, First Aired Date, Run Time, Overview, Actors & Director.  However, if you use Thumbgen you will have to edit the xml for some of this to display correctly because Thumbgen has not been updated yet to generate the xml data correctly.  You can see about that here:

And the moviesheet shows the TV rating, IMDB rating, the video & audio codec info & the studio info. And if you use my TV Show coverbox from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?a6tkz7s11y1wnux it will display the Episode number.  So is there something else that you wish to display?

No, there are no Thumbgen Designer tutorials, which is what you need to alter the moviesheets.  I’ve been meaning to write one, but I just don’t have the time because there is so much info to cover in used TG Designer.  The best thing you can do if you want to alter a moviesheet is to download TGD, then open a moviesheet that is close to what you want and edit it.
