STV Import: Sage Movie Wall (SMW)

[kricker]

I just tried out version 4r1.01 today. I do not use BMT. Is ther no way to have covers without BMT? All my movies show a default icon. On the home page under recent, I can sometimes see a cover or thumbnail, but as I scroll through the list ehy switch back to the sage default image.

BMT is in no way required, but the images you want have to been in a proper Phoenix FanArt folder structure. You can certainly fetch them by hand, but it is just easier with BMT.

Sounds like you are overloading the hd200 did you run all transformations? Is your java heap at least 750mb (recomend 1gb)

I don't care about fanart, only covers.

Tried the 1.01:

1. The SMW works much slower once the unwatched filter is on. Takes 15-20 sec. to get inside.

2. In wall view the bottom line used to show the movie name. Now it shows the file name. The movie name does still exist as it is sorted right and I can see it in drill down to movie.

1. I will look at this but probably the nature of the best (ie watched filter is slow in the sage db)

2. Not sure what is causing this as I don't see that in my testing. Did you install the full update as suggested on a blank stv without SMW previously?

Ok i`ve started to play with the pathfilter expressions. I`ve disabled the homemenu but i cannot seem to get the pathfilter expressions right. I`ve search the forum for pathfilter expressions but this thread is the only one with them and i`m confused.

Here is the content of my sagemc_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE sageMenu PUBLIC "-//NIELM//DTD SAGEMENU XML 1.4//EN" "http://sageplugins.sourceforge.net/nielm_modules/dynamic_menu/sagemenu_1_3.dtd">
<sageMenu version="1.4">
    <menu title="Main">
        <internalScreenMenuItem icon="hover_my tv.png" screen="My TV" title="My TV">
            <evalExpression> </evalExpression>
        </internalScreenMenuItem>
        <!--                                   -->
        <internalScreenMenuItem icon="hover_my videos.png" screen="Video Library Folder View" title="My Movies">
            	<evalExpression>AddStaticContext("PathFilterExprs", new_java_util_ArrayList())</evalExpression>
		<evalExpression>java_util_List_add(PathFilterExprs, "\\\MediaServer\\Movie")</evalExpression>
		<evalExpression>java_util_List_add(PathFilterExprs, "\\\MediaServer\\Teleserie")</evalExpression>
		<evalExpression>java_util_List_add(PathFilterExprs, "\\\MediaServer\\Emissions")</evalExpression>	
	<evalExpression>AddStaticContext("PathFilterExcludes", false)</evalExpression> 
        </internalScreenMenuItem>

is it the right file ? and do i have to remove the imported folder in the setup ?


thanks.

I have loaded the new SMW 4.01 from scratch. Using the BMT no longer brings my movies up front to root but instead after using BMT on all movies in my directories I see the movies folder and it says 200 movies in it but when I click on it it only shows me one movie. I can't get go through the directory. I know there there but It acts as though its just the one movie.

Running 6.6.2 with 6.3.9b 12 with BMT 3.01, SMW and TVE.

just wondering, is there a way to create thumbnails maybe, for all the files without fanart files, so there is at least something showing up for the files if there is no fanart instead of the default blue background

doesnt have to be part of SMW, but in general, does anyone have an idea if anything like that exists.

No currently it uses your theme background I actually coded an option to use your own default but never added it to the options menu but easy enough to do.

Okay. I'm used to XBMC terms where fanart only refers to the large background images and not the posters. So I guess to have posters in SMW, I have to run BMT even though all my movies have an appropriate image in the same folder as the movie. I think its time to read up on BMT.....sigh....

I wanted to use Movie Wall to browse my movies which are organized into various folders. I thought the sort by "file-system" option would let me browse them by folder, but that doesn't seem to work (choosing that option just shows no movies at all, not no folders or anything else either, just an empty list). Am I doing something wrong, or does it not work that way?
