radeon 677 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Others being other users of the plugin. The contributors network is a feature of the plugin which enables the upload and download of themes to the central store. All you have to do is enable the feature within the plugins config and you become one of the "Others". That feels like something out of Lost. haha Hope that helps! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epayson85 72 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 radeon any idea why sometimes it doesn't download a theme for me that exists? An example is gladiator. It never downloaded the movie theme for me. So this is one I went out and found myself. Then in doing so I discovered I didn't really like my version of that movie so I found a better version and once I added it to my server... the movie theme app went and downloaded the movie theme (the same version I found btw haha) This also troubles me because I have been finding lots of great movie themes online / ripping them straight from the blu-rays on ones I can't find but they don't upload. For example I couldn't find themes for skyfall or spectre so I ripped them right from my blu-rays. I have no idea if anyone else has these or not. May you do have it and again its just not downloading for me for some reason... or even worse you don't have it and its also not uploading. They are perfect 1080 rips of the bluray menus so I would assume they would upload if they didn't exist on your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epayson85 72 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I sure do. I mean.. I keep it turned off. Then randomly turn it on and tell it to go through download and upload scans. The reason being so I can keep track of what Dowloads. The first time I did a download from contributors I had like 15 movies get the movie theme for "encounters of the third kind" lol so I like to keep an eye on it.

You'll have to send me some full debug logs when you think its doing something wrong then. I know ones like Spectre and skyfall are there as I use the plugin and have them so without logs to see whats actually going on i can't really say.

Teddy 51 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 radeon , the last Movie Theme Videos 1.1.2.0 version has the prior issue of Movie Theme Songs, it expends a lot of time to download nothing new . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radeon 677 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) it's not an issue, its just load balancing the requests. It has to check each theme and just adopts a delay if its told to by the server. Edited April 22, 2016 by radeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought that there might be a forum for the contributors were they express the type of things that you mentioned in your post like a trailer is not a theme and such. I have uploaded some TV themes (I have the option checked) and I wasn't sure if there was some type of rules/suggestions that should be followed.

jscoys 143 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Ok guys here we are. You can find the log there : http://expirebox.com/download/a0fde10289d05e1cc8ed03acc91d29c8.html It seems in the log that the list displayed is the titles present in download filter, because when I go into the plugins info, I have no title into upload filter. To complete, my contribution is checked in settings, and the movie I wanna upload the video is karate tiger which has the proper IMDB in the nfo file. Thanks for help, would like to contribute!

I am slowly going through and refreshing my entire library's meta data. After every 50 to 100 movies I am stopping and scanning for movie themes. I usually find 1 or 2 that I delete. Either they are completely wrong or a trailer has snuck in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
