ebr 14910 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 In what context? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWNashvegas 170 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 It's not a real folder - it's a display of items marked favorite. If you're trying to figure out how to assign an image for it in MB Classic, there is a way to do that. You'll want to go into your ImagesByName folder, which by default is at: C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName Inside there, navigate to the General folder. Inside General, create a folder named "Favorites" and you can place an image named folder.jpg or folder.png to use in MB Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmarcuse 4 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm sorry I should have explained, thats what happen when you try to do things in a hurry. I have the fav folder setup in imagebyname folder and the image is showing on the collections screen. When I click to go in to the folder link theres another folder...then I click it and there's my movies. I didn't create a folder in the favorites folder...theres nothing in the folder except the one image thats why I thought there might be another folder connected to it somewhere else. Thats my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14910 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 As Abo said, there are Favorite Movie, TV, Music, Game and Books folders that can appear there. If you only have favorite movies, you could turn on "Auto Enter Single Item Folders" in MBC and you would never see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not check the custom path during setup. Is there somewhere else it may be? Is the General folder one I have to create? Here's a link to a screenshot of my IBN folder. Thanks.

CWNashvegas 170 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) I don't seem to have a General folder in my ImagesByName. I did not check the custom path during setup. Is there somewhere else it may be? Is the General folder one I have to create? Here's a link to a screenshot of my IBN folder. Thanks. If it's not there, just create it. Edit - at first your screenshot wouldn't load, which is why I worded it that way. But yes, simply create it, and when you put items in there properly, MB will know what to do with them.

I created a General folder, then created a Favorites folder inside of that. In the Favorites folder is an image named folder.png. I have restarted the mediabrowser service, and started MB Classic. The favorites page is still blank. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 "favorites page"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazz63758 1 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 On the opening screen of MB Classic there are categories: Television, Movies, Documentaries, etc. In the web client, I assigned an image to be displayed when the category is highlighted. When Favorites is highlighted-no image is displayed. Sorry, I may have used the wrong term in the previous post. "Movies" screen "Favorites" screen Sorry, I'm not sure how to embed thumbnails in posts. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazz63758 1 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I started a new session with MBC this morning and scrolled through the Favorites menu. Here is the log from that session. I figured the two lines I posted last night would not be much help; MBC log 10/23 Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks for hanging with me. This may be an obscure bug. I have found a situation where we won't re-retrieve an IBN general image if it changes (because we really have no way of knowing if it did) and I've fixed that. It doesn't seem like that should be your problem since you never had an image but it may actually be related. Can you please set your MBC update level to "dev" and then install the update I'm about to put up and see if your Favorites image shows up?
