LINKSHEETS for IDIOTS, eh? Sounds like I came to the right place

This is probably going to turn out to be a noobish question, but I didn't see you touch on this in your How-To doc. I have heard some whisperings that there may be some different steps (or maybe isn't possible at all?) if your media is on a network share that isn't directly mapped using net.mounts. I seemed to have confirmed this when I put a (<500 KB) "<movie.ext>_sheet.jpg" file out on my unmapped network share in a movie folder (containing the same <movie.ext> file) with the linksheet option turned on in S00, but still wasn't able to get it working.

Do you HAVE to use the net.mounts in order to use Movie Sheets with a network share? A hair off subject since this thread is specifically about Linksheets, but what about when using the WDTVExt moviesheet plugin, when it is introduced to the Plus?

Thanks!
Jim

k I used to have the wdtvlive gave that to my parents. got the plus. I ran the new firmware for plus everything works great except I cannot see the background sheet with my thumbnails that used to show with my old wdtvLive. I've add the
config_tool -c LINKSHEETS=ON

I'm having a difficult time with linksheets, moviesheets or whatever you want to call them.

All I really want to do is put the device in a thumb mode so when I go to the usb drive, I just see the movie covers and thats it....

For some reason, the thumb pics don't show up on the file. They show up in the corners or something, but not actually nicely on the actual box where you click.

How do I simply create a thumbnail view so the only the covers show?

I have Avatar.mkv and Avatar.mkv_sheet.jpg, etc files made already that just have the cover.

This simple thing doesn't seem to be discussed anywhere. PLEASE HELP!

You can also save each one as "folder.jpg" and they'll work quite nicely.
