Why won't these moviesheets load?   

Postby RVD26 » Sun Dec 18, 2011 2:36 pm

Here are the contents of a folder with sheets I have created. However, they do not load when I turn on the player.
I have created other sheets in other folders that seem to work just fine.
I am using the Dribblers WD OrigLook STD template for the main sheet and Buhric CoverTrickle Parent Folder template as the extra sheet.

This is the path to the folder: F:\WRESTLING\Wrestlemania\Wrestlemania 01

Sheet size maybe? Over 512 KB?

assuming it's *.avi files (your explorer hide the file extension for known file type) and also the image is really small.
The file names seem fine. (it only misses the file thumbs, but since you're using a std mode, these aren'T used).

The only thing I see is
- check file size (Ravbob comment)
- make sure linksheet script ran properly. To be sure, you can reboot and wait for the blinking led to stop.

Yeah, that's the problem I think :(
Any way to get around this?

Right click on the movie sheet jpg's and click edit. This will then open up the sheet in paint mode.
Save the sheet whilst in paint mode (no need to do anything else). Then check the properties or hover your mouse over the movie sheet and you should see it has been reduced in size.
Its what I do and it works fine.

Make sure you change the settings in ThumbGen

The smaller size sheet will load faster but you may look pixelated. Larger size loads slower but look better.

The problem was that the sheets were too large in size.
I changed the options in ThumbGen to limit them to 512kb and just redid them.
Thanks.
