MSHEETDIR migration guide

[hobbitjack]

But the /msheets/ dir is empty, so its copying nothing.

Im assuming the wdtv linksheets should suck them off of the usb hard drive and put them in the /msheets/ directory on the wdtv?

You need to get linksheets working before trying msheetdir

A few things before I plug in my drive..

1. If I am creating a directory named .MSHEETDIR, am I doing this on my external drive with my video folder or as a directory on the wdtv through ssh? I found trying to create a folder beginning with a period is futile on Windows.

2. How do I make sure msheetdir is not enabled? Just by leaving the path blank?

3. I read that I can put msheetdir folder on a network. Does this mean I can have it on my pc and link it to the wdtv for easy editing when I have new movies and sheets to add? Or, what is this about?

Thanks for your help so far. I can feel it's about to be working soon.

and I'll add

1. .MSHEETDIR should go on a hard drive, not in the wdtv system files for several reasons

3. use the NETAPP feature of WDLXTV if you want it on a network drive

I have upgraded to 1.03.49_V-WDLXTV-Live-0.4.7.3 [flash] and followed the instruction above. Worked all fine, except that the sheets dont show correctly anymore. I had Wall mode, list view before (1.02.21 based WDLXTV), and my 440x640 sheet images would show up nicely to the right of the list (12 entries). Now, they show up to the left, the list entries on top of them. Unusable. What to do?

In thumbs view, thumbnail icons (plain std icons, not thumbs views of the sheet images) are to the left and sheet image to the right of the screen as it should be, but not in list view.

Many thanks!
