I'll register the other one too :-p Sorry for bothering you! I registered one, but installed the other! /blush haha, you really started to throw me then! No need to apologise, I was trying to ascertain the situation before I gave an answer, just to make sure the answer i gave was the right one! Yeah, three plugins, TV Theme Songs TV Theme Videos Movie Theme Videos Glad we are now on the same page! Let me know if you need any help! :-D All the best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psykix 97 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Sorry one last question I promise! If I had TV Theme Songs installed, and I now have TV Theme Videos, then do I need both? Since the video seems to have audio too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radeon 677 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Again, really no need to apologise, thats what this thread is here for. As for your question, I think that's more down to personal preference, Whist i cant guarantee that either plugins will have all of your shows available, you will get a higher hit rate if you use both. Most themes also seem to take the videos as a priority over the songs so if you have both in there, it will only use the video as its a better experience. Then, for those without video, it can fall back to songs. And yes, most theme vids have audio :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the video seems to have audio too? Just in case you ever start using the Roku, since it is limited in what it can display it only uses the tv theme songs and not the videos. So the overlap is sometimes good for the different clients. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the roku client everywhere and its epic! 6 Rokus now!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niven 0 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) I tried to install the plugin, but nothing happens... I check the plugin settings and there was only an option so send some messages about TVDBID etc. And also were does the plugin store the videos?

Erik 120 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Again, another great plug-in! Only question is (that I saw mentioned by others, but couldn't find the answer) is there a way to limit the amount of times that the theme video (TV or Movie plug-in) plays? I love the video, but around the 4-5 time while i'm choosing an episode gets to repetitive. Thanks, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the video, but around the 4-5 time while i'm choosing an episode gets to repetitive. Thanks, Erik The plugin is essentially a metadata provider, so enables the download of the videos in this case. How those files are used after that is down to the theme/client developer. I do know some of the themes repeat the once in the actual video itself but nothing more. What particular theme/client are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik 120 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thanks Radeon, I'm using MBT with just the default theme. So this is a setting that would be nice to have in MBT to change/select the number of repeats then? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you just re run and see if you get the same issue, it may just have been a short outage on my site. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psykix 97 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Running now - one other thing, every time I run it, it appears to download stuff.

Surely after a successful run, and with nothing new added, it shouldn't be downloading anything? What's your definition of download stuff? If you're referring to the connection with ballingtons.com domain, thats just when it's doing a lookup to see if anything is available. Its not actually downloading anything at that stage, Also, whilst there are a lot of themes on there, it it's unlikely to get every single one in your collection, however, new themes are being added all the time, so if there are some missing in your collection, every time the schedule runs, it may well find newly added ones for your collection and download them for you. Edit: to add to that, it wont keep downloading the same ones again and again, it will just attempt for those which are missing.
