I created 1 Collection so how did "Movies by Genre" get created? How to change its image?

[darbid 1]

I am new to 3.  I created one collection called "Movies" and pointed it to a set of movies.  I have changed the image for Movies by uploading it as a primary image.  I see this as folder.jpg in ..root/default/movies.

 

But when I start Media Browser Classic (Chocolate Theme) I see a Movie choice and "Movies by Genre" choice - How did this second choice get there?  How can I add others and most importantly how can I change its Image?

 

Just in case there is any confusion I am not talking about all the images for each Genre, I am talking about the main image on the home screen.

 

Thank you guys?

The Movies by Genre is a configurable option in MBC.Click on the gear icon which will take you to the configuration screen,from there you can either tick it or untick it to show as a menu item in Mediabrowser Classic.

 

For an image for the Movies by Genre

 

In the images by name folder create a general folder and in this folder also create a Movies by Genre folder and place the image here,it will then show up in MBC.

 

For more on the IBN folder see this post below

Thanks mate for the quick answer.

 

I read the information and have made a folder exactly like this (capitals/spaces)

 

MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName\General\Movies by Genre

 

I have one file in this folder named poster.png

 

The server has restarted many times.  But I am not having any luck.  Is there something else I can check to see what i am doing wrong?

I don't think it makes any difference but try renaming the image file to folder.png and see if that makes a difference.

 

Also in MBC press CTRL-R on the keyboard or the record button on your remote when you have the Movies by Genre selected.This will do a refresh of that category.

It has to be called folder.png.  It appears right away without a refresh or server restart.

 

Thank you again for answering immediately.

I've been using MB2 for a while now and just switched to MB3. When I did so, my IBN images all got deleted and I'm trying to get them back. I followed this thread and it's not working for me. I want to have images for my Movies and TV Shows folders that appear as a backdrop on the root menu screen when MBC first starts up. So this is what I did:

 

C:\Users\*********\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName\General\Movies\folder.jpg

 

I would do the same for TV Shows, but it's not working for movies. What am I doing wrong?

If you want a backdrop you are going to need a Backdrop.jpg.

 

Also, whether or not these show on an initial screen will be dependent on the theme in use.

That did the trick, thank you. Also I had to put it in

 

  C:\Users\**********\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\root\default\Movies\backdrop.jpg
