movie sheet how to

[Buhric]

I was full of joy for a few seconds there... guess I will need to be more patient then...
Continue the most excellent work B-Rad, you transformed a good product into an extraordinary one

Buhric,

thanks,

but I'm not using wd networking.

but from what I understand the latest firmware no need to do this, or am I wrong?

B rad,

is I think I must be wrong somewhere. I did not want to show twice the hood, as in the photos above. I tried including other templates.

It is not easy hehehehe .... thank you ... I'll keep trying.

It might not be easy as first, but once you get the hang of it it's fairly straight forward for the most part

[flaviocc]

yeah...

i tried with other templates and the same way i put on the photos....

delete the files, power cicle....and samethig....

keep trying.

@flaviocc

you have 3 different settings for movie sheets... looks that by default sheet is chosen,
but you need to change mode to STD to get what you are looking for.... (i think)

so if you do not have any networking, please use the S00-custom method to change the MSHEETMODE to std

again:
Open the S00-Custom file in notepad or other application
locate the line that says
#config_tool -c MSHEETMODE=std
remove the #
save the file in the root of your USB drive
connect that drive tot he WDTVLive,
remove the power cord... wait 15 seconds
plug the cord back
wait until you shhe the WDTVLive main menu
then wait for Power led to stop blinking
verify if its displaying like you want.

Buhric,

Many tks.....i think its working....i do first test and now its = my first image !

First page - thumbnails with covers ( i want to change that backgroun - dont test yet )

Second page - after click the cover shows the sheet with infos about movies !!!

I retest with sheet mode and the same problem i show on last photos.

do you know what are this commands ? have to change anything here ?

## turn on moviesheets for a list type
## you must turn it on for a view type to see sheets!
## video thumb mode
#config_tool -c VIDMSHEET=ON
## audio/photo thumb mode
#config_tool -c GENMSHEET=ON
## list mode (video/audio/photo)
#config_tool -c LISTMSHEET=ON

Many tks !!!

[Buhric]

those commands are for the WDTVLive display mode in the settings.
like thumbnail or list mode... it tells where to activate movie sheets...
My self I have all 3 to ON (removed the # in front of each config_tool line)

jusdt leave msheetmode on std mode...

If you want to change the background...
once again its in the S00-custom...
look for the line
#config_tool -c BACKGROUND_IMAGE=original_bg.jpg
remove the #
and replage
original_bg.jpg
by the file name (picture) you want

the picture you want needs to be in the root of the usb drive also
again do the same thing has you did for msheetmode... (in usbroot, power cycle the WDTVLive)

[flaviocc]

Many tks, i think understood now how this config file works.

on - NO #

off - with #


the mode sheet just ONE item without #

and others like you tell various on or off !

On STD MODE you only needs to do ONE sheet, correctly ? Becose EXTRA SHEET dont appears...im wrong ?

Tks again, when you come here in Brazil ( Espírito Santo ) you are my guest for eat Moqueca Capixaba ( google it and see )

TKs again for your patience.

[Buhric]

on - NO #
off - with #

Not really... the # just indicates that the line is a comment, so when the application read the S00-custom file, it skips every line that starts with a #
removing the line "activates" that line.

Those variable are stored on a file that is read at boot-up...
so the way to turn off a feature would be to use the "reverse" value of the variable
example:

Code: Select all

config_tool -c VIDMSHEET=ON

sets variable VIDMSHEET to value ON
if you put the # in front of the line... the value in the configuration file will stay at ON and that feature will still be activated
so you will need to change the line to

Code: Select all

config_tool -c VIDMSHEET=OFF

doing this, sets the variable VIDMSHEET to the value OFF... so turning off the feature....

Same thing with the rest of the variables in the S00-custom file...
some of them have a value of 1... "reverse" value would be 0
some variables takes a string.. like NTPSERVER, or USBICONS, or TIMEZONE
other only takes a certain value.. like MSHEETMODE can only be std, wall or sheet
LISTNUM can only be 4,6,8,10,11 or 12


hope this makes it a bit clearer for you

[Buhric]

On STD MODE you only needs to do ONE sheet, correctly ? Becose EXTRA SHEET dont appears...im wrong ?

well even in STD mode you can create extra sheets for the folder... but if you use them you will NOT see
the thumbnails for the folders...

Like B-Rad said before in STD mode the sheets are shown OVER the thumbnails... so you only see the sheet no thumbnails
if you do create a folder sheet you will only see it...

just try it... name a 1280x720 picture "foldername_sheet.jpg" (like Avatar_sheet.jpg)
and put it inside the folder (folder Avatar), power cycle the WDTVLive again... and select the icon for the Avartar folder...
