Question of the look of Emby for WMC on Downloads Page

Hi,

 

I'm sort of new to Emby and I've been considered switching from MyMovies.dk due to the online/web component of the server as well as the trans-coding on the fly abilities.  I've been tweaking the chocolate UI to my liking and it does look really nice, but I always wanted to know what the theme/look is for the screenshots on this page: https://emby.media/emby-for-windows-media-center.html

 

These specific pictures:

Is this media browser or some classic interface?  Is there anyway to switch to it?

 

Also, I've noticed that Emby for WMC hangs if you try to navigate back to the main WMC menu if you've been watching a move for a while.  We have 3 Xbox 360 Slims in the living room/bedrooms and I have to restart the Xbox.  Anyway to avoid that?  I wanted to quickly ask here before starting two threads.

 

Thanks

Those pictures are from one of Throg's themes (not sure which one).  Check out the plug-in catalog inside of EMC to see those themes.

 

Your xbox problem sounds like one of those classic problems with that device/technology but I vaguely remember it and possibly a solution a long time ago.  Try searching in this forum.

So I did a little more research based on what you said and now I sort of understand a bit better.  I see now in post #5 here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/733-mb-classic-setup-and-configuration/  thatMedia Browser Classic has the ability to handle plugins, but I am using Emby for Media Center and the Emby for Media Center Configurator doesn't have a system or plug-ins tab.  Is this by design or do I need to reinstall?

 

Nevermind, just found that what I mentioned above was depricated.  Turns out I was logging in to emby with a user that didn't have admin rights, so I didn't see a plugins tab in settings section.

 

As far as the Xbox problem, I'll search and see what I can find.   MyMovies does something similar were after a long piece of media has played, it sort of hangs instead of going back to a list movies or covers display. It's sort of fuzzy, but I remember it being something about returning control back to WMC and it's kind of a Microsoft problem that will never be fixed.  

 

Thanks

If I recall correctly, those types of problems occurred with extenders when trying to play content of a higher bitrate than the tech was really designed to handle - but my memory is fuzzy as well.

 

You are correct that it will never be fixed unfortunately.

 

Have you checked out Emby Theater?
