Deihmos 147 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) The new thumbs look really cool and looks nice in MBC. All but the trailers icon. Why don't you create something similar for trailers? Edited April 20, 2015 by Deihmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 this is what I am talking about. Can't the same style be generated for trailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8293 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I see the same. Your screenshot is a good example of coverart overlays not working also for "Folders". Edited April 20, 2015 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14919 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Your screenshot is a good example of coverart overlays not working also for "Folders". In what way? The image for Trailers is obviously processed by CA. The others are automatically generated by the server so they are not run through the image processors (by design).

Deihmos 147 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have no issue with CA. I guess there is no way for the server to automatically generate something for trailers the same way it generated those images for movies and tv?

Sorry for hijacking this thread but I would think that they were primary images just like the ones generated for collections. Edit interesting by deleting the primary image and leaving the thumb they are treated now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is but the issue is that the plug-in provides its own image. The generated ones are only created when there isn't a specific one defined.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) You could manually replace the default image. You could make your own trailer image easily enough. Create a "Trailer" library. Throw in a bunch of folders with the .disc stubs for movies in it. Let the system download metadata and then show it on your screen. Get the URL, open the image in a new tab and then save it to you computer for reuse. That is what I did for a lot of my libraries. Little messy but gets me the look I want. Oh and Coverart will even assign the proper treatment. Edited April 20, 2015 by Koleckai Silvestri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Is this a Beta version or something, my folder icons are not dynamic... I want those..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefirstofthe300 291 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Dynamically generated images is in the current release server. If you have custom defined images, I don't think that the server overwrites them. Try deleting the current images for the folders. If that doesn't work, you will need to report it as a bug.

Deihmos 147 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I generated something random and used it. This is really cool stuff. These look great in MBC and are much better than the ones I was using. Edited April 21, 2015 by Deihmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I didnt realize i had to manually enable in the settings xml... I did that and i did get dynamic images, but my users didn't, they got a generic black MB icon image.... So i just copied the dynamically created images from my account and set those as the new default static image... shut dynamic back off... Thanks for the info though, i didn't even know that was an option.. Sorry to hijack.. @@Deihmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
