I am limited to 20,000 characters so my secon post will have the rest of the xml info.

My questions is, when I view this on the SMP the image is so vivid that on many I can not read the movie info, not sure how to properly word this but it appears that the overlay that darkens the image is too light making the movie info impossible to read on lighter movie sheets.

I just finished up about 100 MKV.s (my comedy genre) and I have about 550 more to go in various genres. I want to make sure I do it right first time around.

I attached a xml for you guys to check it out.

FYI

I tried copying the Mojo theme first time and it did not work, here is whart I did wrong.

tried uploading as Mojo(1).zip, apparently I had it downloaded before.

Anyhow this would not work until I deleted the (1) to show Mojo.zip.

Just figured I would point that out and hopefully help someone.

Thanks Again.

2nd part, sorry.

First, your welcome.

Second, I don’t know about Thumbgen Lite and suggest you use the full version.

Third, it’s because you don’t have Thumbgen setup correctly and you are generating your xmls wrong.  Go back to the turtorial I posted, and pay special attention to pages 5 & 6.  If you follow those to pages exactly your xmls will generate correctly.

OMG please tell me this is correct.

This is the only thing I could not figure how to do as you shown in your tutorial

I downloaded the file but can not get it like yours

What does it do? Is it needed?

I download the file and run it but it says;

mtn.exe not found in current directory!

Please place the file in the same directory with mtn.exe

Yep, you xml looks correct now.

No you don’t need that.  It’s only needed if you are going to take snapshots.

Thank you so much. After reading so many posts that you answer i would think someone would go crazy.
Hats off to you my friend

Also in desperate need of Help

Decided to use you Mojo theme, but for the life of me I cannot get it working.

Product : WD TV Live SMP

Firmware: 1.12.14 (do i need a custom firmware) or a diff version?

My Xml generate exactly like SQWIB (second time when you said he got it correctly.)

My movies are placed in individual folders.

i.e

Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title. *.AVI    etc…

I can get Thumbnails showing up when I view the movies section, but when I click on the thumbnail, I do not get any information, just the thumbnail once again. If I press the thumbnail it will play the movie.

I have been racking my brains all day to try and resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Nevermin, worked it out. Was a user error by me on the Media Player.

There is something I would like to change.

Is there a way to get the information to show up when highlighting a folder?

No, metadata and backdrops do not display for folders.

There is a trick to get metadata to display for folders descrbed here:

http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-Themes/Folder-Metadata-trick-for-FW2-04-13/td-p/254820

But there is no way to get backdrops to display, at least not without using a trick  which is not incorporated into the current version of  Mojo.
