What should the files be named? they are all named "landscape.jpg". I have never even noticed the Studio tab before. I wasnt the original person to ask about it. I only looked at it because you asked me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throgmorton 96 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Yeah that would be the idea. I never checked if landscape.jpg works typically we use folder.jpg or folder.png. But if studios is not something you care about then you don't have to waste your time with it. I just assumed since you updated the version it was cause you were interested in the studio icons showing again and so I just asked to ensure they were working for you.

Pfew I stick with straight white logo's that way if they need tweaking it can be done through the custom MCML settings I added which allows you to pick a color to place over the studio icon to meet your themes needs. As for the missing metadata, I guess it depends on the movie/tv show but I've always been able to get those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throgmorton 96 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Kind of agree with the white color, but where do I find the settings for overlaying a color for the icons? This was done when I gave the user the ability to create custom skinning. By default I include 3 skins Default (WMC Blue), Midnight (Black), and Alaska (White), but the user can simply create his/her own. Basically you would need to go to the plugin directory and there should be a sub directory called TSoft and then a sub directory called skins. This is where you will find the default three skins I have provided. Don't bother editing those as I believe I always overwrite them on boot so the user will always have working templates. All you need to do is make a copy and rename it to something else and this should be picked up by the theme and placed as a selectable option on the skins menu. In order to change the color filter simply open that file and one of the option I believe is called StudioColor which I believe is set to 255,255,255 by default which is RGB white. Simply change this to the RGB value of the color you want and it should apply it to the themes. Now I don't know if I have fully tested this on every theme view so if one is missing its possible I overlooked it and you would just need to let me know and I can correct it.

rms8 12 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) @@throgmorton Been a LONG time user of your themes all the way back to MB. I've been trying to sort out several problems after the Server update and Emby WMC updates. I do not see the Studio nor Codec ICONs. Don't remember if I ever did to be honest. I followed your instructions above and created a "general" folder in metadata directory on the Server: But I still do not see them on Emby WMC: Any suggestions? Also, what about the codecs? Thanks! EDIT: Disregard the CODECs question. It appears I can only see CODEC Icons on certain themes. I switched to Malestrom and Kismit and the Codecs appear on those themes. Still no Studio icons.

throgmorton 96 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Well the view you've posted a picture of (Vanilla) isn't the screen which has the studios show. You will need to toggle through the Details options at the bottom right to I think its called media instead of summary and there it should show studios if you have the associated folders.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I looked in the movie.xml file to see what studios were associated with this movie. I picked one of them (Sony Pictures) and renamed it from thumb to folder and that worked. But as you can see, the icons are actual pics so they are no legible. Any way to force something to re-populate the studio icons with something more legible? Or put another way, is there a way to blow away studio icons since they are all named "thumb" and have the server or EMC create a new set?

throgmorton 96 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 My DOS scripting skills aren't that great but I'm sure you can find a script to recursively go through the folders and rename thumb.jpg to folder.jpg. The amount of screen real estate devoted to icons is dependent on theme. Typically I tend to allow a height of like 50-60px so when I'm downloading studio icons I tend to make sure they try to fit that. I also stick to them being white with transparent background so they go together with all the themes and so color filters can be overlaid for skinning purposes.
