Yogi 367 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) radeon,Just one other issue (geez it's all happening) can you check to see if the theme song plugin is downloading the file as hidden as I had a few new ones that wasn't hidden.

radeon 677 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 @@Longrifle Hey! can you let me know specifically which plugin you are using? I may have confused things with my posts above yours but this plugin is just for MB Classic to enable the playback of the theme videos. It does however require you to have theme videos which can be downloaded for you by one of my plugins. Where you have thrown me a little is you mention you have installed it on the server which i assume to mean MBSserver, however, that cant be this plugin as it cannot be installed there. Basically, you can install one of these three plugins: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/1068-tv-theme-videos-plugin/ http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/2006-movie-theme-videos-plugin/ http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/1069-tv-theme-music-plugin/ which are "metadata" providers, i.e. they download the themes. Which can be used by this plugin (the one this thread is all all about) by installing it via the MB Classing Configurator and setting its config options to play theme backdrops. Or they can be used by MB Theatre which automatically does so. I hope that helps? If you're still suck, just post back answering my questions above and im sure we'll get you sorted. :-) Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbab 0 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I have it installed on the default theme but the videos only play in a tiny box in the corner of the screen. There is no option to play video backdrops that appears in the above image. How do I get it to cover the whole screen instead of just playing in the corner. If I click in the video then it goes full screen but covers up everything in the background. Edited November 28, 2013 by jeffbab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37051 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 the theme controls that. the default theme happens to put it's now playing view in a box rather than the background. Unfortunately Radeon's plugin can't do anything about that. But most other themes put it in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentasm 43 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Quick question. Have the theme vid plugin working fine and am using Chocolate. When I enter a movie folder and the theme vid plays, the focus moves to the now playing icon in the top right corner. This means I have to press down and left a few times to get to the play icon. Is there a way to stop this and just have it default to the play icon like it does on a movie that has no theme video? Other than that, great job on the plugin. Only other comment I have is it would be nice to be able to control the volume of the theme videos globally and be able to set it separately from the main media play volume. I find having the themes play at the volume I normally watch at a bit distracting. I'd like to have them at about 50-75% of whatever the current media play volume is.

I'm not sure if @@ebr would want to change this now, but that is upto him as the owner of Chocolate Theme.

Originally I downloaded the plugin and configured it for Theme Backdrop, removed Crystal and loaded up MBC which I have set to Destiny with various views.. Went into a show I knew was audio only (Bob's Burgers) and it played but with a black screen. I then exited, removed the plugin, went back to Crystal and back into MBC and audio played with the background for Bob's Burgers. Today, on request from Radeon, I removed Crystal, reinstalled ThemeVideo Backdrops and loaded MBC. I went into my son's profile first since he runs Chocolate because Radeon requested I try it in Chocolate or Subdued. Went to a show he had that I knew was audio only and it played with the backdrop. So I went back into my profile with Destiny, went to Bob's burgers and it worked with the backdrop. Exited and went into mine about 4 times and it always worked. I just assumed in the last two days since I first encountered the issue, an update was done... Magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
