UMSP Plugin: TroNik Player

netamego1,
Added a setting for moviesheet filename (pattern compatible with ThumbGen) with default value "$M/$F_sheet.jpg". You probably need to put whatever you have in ThumbGen.

dzebrys,
The new version is using any found IMDb id from nfo files without confirmation. I'll consider your other suggestions. As netamego1 said your issues are either due to permissions or you might need to scan your hard drive for errors.

hi,

thanks for clarification guys. that's was indeed permission problem.

one more question. when i'got sheet generated it does not fill whole screen, just 2/3, centered.
is it reason file has lower resolution or something with my settings?
same issue with movieinfo from advance menu.
i'm using zmiki 1.2.21 with medianavigation plugin. my set is fullhd hdmi
connected, 1080i60, autores disabled, wide mode.

Good job on this plugin, TroNik!

Since it's "idea pitching" time, I'd like to ask support for browsing network shares with your plugin (in addition to xmounts). You don't need to worry about mounting the shares - the users would have to first navigate to Video -> Network Shares -> Server so that they get mounted, and afterwards you would find them under /tmp/SERVER. I'm not 100% sure what's the best approach to selecting the share, but you could probably use the mount table and filter by nfs/smb.

Thanks a lot. Works like a charm!!!! Now i can see all my previosly generated sheets.

Another idea for improvement that will probably help a lot of the folks on 1.05 - the development of an equivalent for MediaMark under your plugin. Your plugin should record when a video is played and add it to a database (ideally the same db as mediamark), and when the user browses that folder again he should have another entry saying that the file has been viewed.

Hi TroNik

First of all, great work! I have one problem in that at the top level of my movies folder (each movie at this level has a separate folder) only some of the folder thumbs are being displayed. All the thumbs were generated using TG. What is the criteria used to display this information? Is it expecting an nfo file that if not present, leads to a generic thumb being displayed?

Thanks.

dzebrys,
This is how the images are displayed on my setup as well. They are displayed exactly as if you had navigated to the photos section of the WD TV main menu. I've tried changing the resolution of the images to 1080p from 720p but that didn't help.

mad_ady,
Yes marking videos (mostly useful for TV episodes) as watched was already in my TODO list. BTW, I recently updated the plugin adding support for addic7ed.com TV shows subtitles. I also added support to manually mark a video as watched. It's under advanced menu. Unfortunately I wasn't able to automatically mark a video as watched. The redirect trick doesn't seem to work for file:// links.

calypso,
It seems some of your folders are missing a folder.jpg image. You can download those from the download poster menu.

i've already checked that and it's enought to change some settings for picture mode to shrink image to fill screen. then pictures are displayed fullscreen
whatever resolution they are.

dzebrys,
Which settings?

Hi TroNik:

I did a little more comparative research and found that the folders at issue were missing the folder.jpg files; as you also correctly identified.

Cheers,
