ebr 14910 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Will MBPhoto be available in MBT? I'm not sure if there will be specialized photo support in MBT in the first release, but, eventually, I'm sure it will be supported. I am also looking to see if I can eliminate the plug-in on the MBC side and just build the support directly into the core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madfloyd 0 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We have to work within the confines of the existing system. The views you are using were written as much as two years ago and designed for video content and are within the individual themes. So, there isn't much we can do about that. However, there are lots of views in several themes that will show photos in a nice way so play around with the selections. As for browsing one at a time, try hitting the play button on your remote on either a folder of photos or an individual one. It will start to play them back full screen (complete with music accompaniment if you put a 'slideshow.wpl' in the folder) and you can pause them or 'next' your way through them with the channel up/down buttons. Thanks, I appreciate the explanation and understand. I will try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceboy 2493 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 worked out my problem, the two paths were slightly different. one was looking at \\htpc\h\pics and the other was looking at h:\pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordinarybanter 0 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I want to give this plugin a shot. Been a minorish rebuild of my htpc and sorting data drives out. I'm curious to know if there is an optimal folder structure for this plugin? How do you organize your images. I've got thousands and I'm wrestling with creating dated folders or named ones etc. Do you have recommendations? Thanks for all your enormous efforts.

christoph86 12 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 When I go to MB classic configurator under the plugin tabs there is no option for the MB photo plugin. The only two plugins I have under content provider in the configurator are for the bookshelf and game browser. I have it installed on the server and have set the photo collection under the photo type. The folders show up in classic but there are no pictures. . Am I missing where the photo plugin is at for MB classic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Scaife 3 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Can I make a couple of feature requests for the future? 1. Sorting photos by "date taken" 2. Showing the photo title / caption when in slideshow mode Without these photos appear in a random order (as i rename the files) and show no information about what they are. The addition of these features would make MBPhoto much more O/H friendly Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
