Any licence problems, drop me a pm or reply to my email and I'll sort you out. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just checking it out and got nothing for Game of Thrones.. in a hidden backdrops folder in the root of each movie or series for tv. There's definitely one for GOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jachin99 82 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I have this working on everything except Emby for WMC. Does anyone else out there have any problems with getting these to play in Emby for WMC on the choocolate theme? Radeon, do you have the ability to test it on emby for WMC? is there a log file I can send you or any other way I can help troubleshoot my problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider 46 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 They'll just be the wrong backdrops uploaded by a contributor. I can delete them server side. Naturally that won't give a replacement unless someone has one to replace them with. Hi radeon,  I have a few unique backdrops, they are in MKV format. What format do you need for the backdrop upload feature to work? I tried converting them using Handbrake but I only seem to be able to create M4V files. not MP4 files.  Happy to convert and run the upload task, any advice on how to convert the MKV or M4V files to MP4?

You can upload the logs here and I can take a look tho. Will be for emby for WMC that you need to get. I can't honestly remember where they are stored as my days of using wmc are long gone.

Sammy 738 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) @@Luke @@ebr @@radeon  This is a fine Plugin. I didn't use it earlier because I was having issues with it bogging down ET (And this was probably the legacy ET too). It works fine now in ET and Emby Android on my Galaxy Tab 8.4 but not on my Galaxy S7 nor my Roku 2 (4210). I know it is possible because the reason I decided to install this is because there's video backdrops on Netflix because after using these "new" Rokus since dumping the Gen 2's I noticed the upgraded Netflix Channel was doing it so I recalled it was available in Emby too.  Is it possible to get this working on the Roku Channel? It would seem that the Netflix Roku Channel checks the hardware on the Roku and then chooses the correct Channel to install (there's more than one) but could the Emby Channel check this too and then change the setting to allow or disallow video backdrops? I know this setting isn't even there right now, or at least I couldn't find it, so it needs to be revealed in the Emby Channel on Roku.  TIA Edited June 9, 2017 by Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy 738 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Background themes have not been implemented in the Roku app yet. Â They will be in a future release. Â Nice to hear! I do think you need some sort of check for the hardware as some Rokus are not capable of it or at least this isn't enabled in the Netflix app on older Rokus so I think they maybe ran into some issues with it or they would have included it. Just something to be looking out for. Â Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37106 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Best thing to do is ask questions pertaining to the Roku app in the Roku app section. That will ensure it is seen by the right people and doesn't get accidentally forgotten. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyslapper 11 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's 2017 now I can't seem current info on how to properly implement the video back drops on kodi. I have read on tvtunes but finding it's not been touch a while. And I have try running emby sync. Both direct and stream with no go. So I am wondering if there a current step by step direction on getting it to work on kodi 16 and 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
