STV Import: Sage Movie Wall (SMW)

[PiX64]

To Plucky and all the great developers/testers/QA individuals that work on Release 4.

I didnt' think it was possible for you to make something that was already phenominal that much better, but some how you did. SMW V4 is absolutely amazing. The performance improvements that you made along with all of the new features and styles make this stvi, at least for me, hands down, the greatest plugin that is avaialbe.

We cannot of course leave out the other individuals and plugins that make yours possible...stuckless for his amazing BMT/imdb search, and many many more.

Again i just wanted to say that you all did a phenominal job, and My wife and I love this plugin!

GREAT JOB!!!!!

Thank you very much for the kind words and glad you like it. It is post like this that make all the work and effort seem worth it. I can't speak for all developers but a simply thanks like this goes along way for motivation for me.

Either way I get the same default orange image.

Okay i will get together a bebuglog build to send to you to better see what the issue is.

When SMW goes through the scaling of Fanart does it change the images - will this screw up my setup in the regular SageMC screens if I decide to stop using SMW?

No the images are all scaled/transformed and cached in SMW folders in your cache directory it does not modify or change the fanart in fanart folders at all.

PLUCKY, first of all, GREAT JOB. I have to stop myself from just going to my movies selection and scrolling up and down just to see the whole wall. It amazes me.

I did have a quick question. How does the plugin know if it is a Blu-ray rip. I ripped a BD and set the whole disc inside my import folder and the blu-ray logo appeared along with all of the other icons. I then stripped out the single video and audio track and then imported it and it shows all the icons except the blu-ray logo. Just a quick question. Thanks again!

Thanks

They must be in Native blu ray ripped format to be reconized as a blu ray currently. I have plans at some point to implement a self tagged blu ray method IE you tell SMW what format your blurays are in and it will reconize those a blur rays but for now it must be in default blu ray folder format.

I use SMW fulltime now with the latest version. No problems at all. It goes great with the TV Explorer, too.

Now who will come up with something for My Music?

That makes sense. I didn't know for sure. I agree with Mitch as well. I do feel a little spoiled to have SMW and fanart already but something to incorporate my music would be brilliant!

A couple months ago somebody made the announcment they were. But quickly deleted the thread. I guess it wasn't ready!

Something similar is being done with Media Browser in WMC. A Music Browser plug in has been created so you get the same look/feel as Media Browser without actually having to leave MediaBrowser. Getting everything integrated and keeping the look/feel the same is always a good thing.

It was my thread and it is still around probably won't see it until phoenix or later.

Plucky,

Great JOB with SMW. I have upgraded to the lastest version and have not encountered any problems.

Recently, I had some family visit for week. After a brief tutorial, I turned them loose in Sage. (I knew they would be interested in watching several of the movies I have.) They greatly preferred SMW over the SageMC My Videos user experience.

Again, great job.

Thanks always good to hear people are enjoying it.

Is anyone else having the actor image problem where the actor images are not showing up after you download the zip of them and extract into your central fanart folder?

[MitchSchaft]

Crap, I forgot to check out the actor images. I did download ALL of them and put them in the default folder. Where can I find them at in SMW?

What do you mean by default folder location? they should go in you central fanart folder\actors

check them out on the actors link on the homepage or push guide on any movie.

My CoverArt does not show in SMW - works fine in the std SageMC video library. I hope this is simply a missed 'MC' setting somewhere so I won't bore you will all the details (yet). TIA

Is it fanart? Or folder jpegs?

[wado1971]

Folder jpegs.
