radeon 693 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 MBT fails to play hidden theme.mp3s? right now they are the only metadata that I cant hide in the folders. Hey @@lolwut, I'm a little lost? Are you saying there is a problem with my plugin? My plugin downloads the theme.mp3 but doesnt hide them as per the requirements of MBS. MBS dictates the structure required which is why they're not hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolwut 16 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I actually dont know MBT, MBS or the plugin that is causing this behaviour. I have a lot of metadata there xmls, pictures, theme videos ..etc, and when I browse my folder structure manually, I only want to see actual tv or movie videos. That is why all those are hidden, and MBT, MBS handles them correctly today, WMC and MBC handled them correctly in the past, except theme.mp3s, dont know why but when they are hidden, they are not recognized... BTW, I am aware your plugin only downloads and manages them, and do not interfere how clients handle them (i have custom theme mp3s and they have the same problem), So hmm, should I have posted on MBS or MBT forum ? since its related to theme.mp3 s only, I thought this the right place to post this issue.

Right, i see, Yeah, this is a MBS question as that's the one doing the detecting. This thread is for those problems related to the actual download/normalisation of the media. :-D Its more of a feature request than anything else. If it does change, ill just have to update my tool to hide the themes in future. :-D Edited March 8, 2014 by radeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxys 1 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hi, first great Plugin thanks :-) Now my question: What is the download source for the theme songs? Is t a service like thetvdb.com? The "problem" is the plugin doesn't download songs for german series like Stromberg. Do you have any solution for this? Thanks for your work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumred85 0 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 First, thank you for making an amazing plugin. It is really cool having the music play when browsing the shows. Is there a way to figure out why the plugin is not downloading music for some tv shows? As an example on of the shows I have is The King of Queens which has a series.xml file but for whatever reason the theme.mp3 is not downloading. This is happening for several shows that I am certain there is theme mp3s available but I am at a loss as to why they are not downloading..

mangis 10 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi Was wanting to try this out and see how it goes and what it's like before purchasing but when I go to the plugin section to install it there is a message saying that the trial period for the feature has expired. Reading the description it seems the limitation on the plugin was that it would only do shows starting with A and not on a time basis. Has this changed ?

Reading the description it seems the limitation on the plugin was that it would only do shows starting with A and not on a time basis. Has this changed ? I cant seem to find the page on the plugin catalog but it used to state that All premium plug-ins have 14-day trial periods.That's all controlled by the licence infrastructure MB supplies to the plugin developers. However, at the very start, I added the additional limit to only download shows beginning with A because a trial mode on this sort of plugin with unlimited use for the first 14 days is a little bit pointless as and given user, would install, download everything then not need to use again. That said, I'm pretty sure that the trial period only starts once the plugin has been installed. So assuming you installed it and ran the scheduled task or let it run itself at 2am, it would have downloaded any available A shows for you. I hope that helps!

ebr 15186 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Trial periods start when you first install a plug-in on any particular machine and last for 14 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farside847 39 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 If it downloads the wrong song, how do I choose another song? I can download the right one manually from http://www.televisiontunes.com/, but then it wouldnt process the audio normalization right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the minute, there isnt a way/ If you have the wrong one downloading and really want it to pass through the audio normilization, renaming your show to match the right one from television tunes temporarily, running the schedule then renaming back should work. Also, if you let me know of a few examples where its wrong, ill see if i can improve the naming lookups. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluce50 118 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 In my case it's downloading the theme for the correct show, but it seems to be truncated. The clip is only 7 seconds long and it cuts off too early. Is there anything that can be done about that? The show is "Community". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it another shot now, I've had some hosting outages due to some maintenance over the past 2 hours which may have caused it. I have just added the show to my collection to get it to download and it was absolutely fine. let me know how you get on! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluce50 118 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'm not sure if this is where you're grabbing them from, but the main theme title at televisiontunes.com is only 6 seconds (which is what I was experiencing). I downloaded the one titled "Community - 30 seconds" and placed it in the series folder and it works great now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radeon 693 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Ah, it looks like a dependency has changed in mbs core which is stopping the plugin.

I'm away from home until weds but I already know the fix so ill have a release as soon as i can on weds! Could this be my problem as well? I've a separate post, which ebr has been asking questions about. I have two installations of MBC 3.0.238 (with Subdued) on different Windows 7 PC's. One plays both theme backdrop videos and theme songs, the other only plays theme songs. They're identical in almost every respect, and I've double checked all the settings. Driving me a bit nuts. Like to get this one resolved. Edited November 30, 2014 by tman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a check for the file being a valid video/audio file which is failing. Ebr wont be doing anything like this to play the video files. Are they both running from the same mbs instance? And out of curiosity, have you tried disabling the new method in mbc and installing the old theme backdrops plugin, just to see if that works? Just as a process of elimination.

tman 47 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks radeon. Yes, they are both using the same MBS instance, so I know it's not the server. I don't mind trying the dedicated MBC plugin, but it's no longer listed in the catalog. Guess it was pulled when MBC added native support. I'm stumped. Don't know if the logfiles will give anything away. The movie I was trying was 'Life of Pi'. This has both theme music and background. It's my main HTPC that's not playing the backgrounds, and that's where I wanted them!
