Fanart / BMT 4.0 questions

[ThePaladinTech]

Got the Jetty working today, and quickly got the BMT 4.0 beta going, seems like it will be really cool but I've got a few things I don't understand. Ive dug in today but just honestly not sure where to start looking

Problem #1: Client PC doesn't seem to work (extenders and server working fine). I assume I need to add some STVis to the client and have tried adding BMI and Phoenix Fan Art (which is what is working on the server) - did i miss something there?

Problem #2: when I use the web interface for BMT it has graphics for nearly all shows, but the client only shows graphics for three shows - I looked in the fanart directory and there is only art downloaded for three shows. So I did a full rescan of my library and it added three more. it's like it is dying after 3?

Question - what should my java max mem be and how can I set it? (haven't searched for this *yet*, just popped in my head as I wrote this)

Appreciate all the hard work that has gone into these add ons, and they never fail to impress me with how much they add to my enjoyment of SageTV!

Looking forward to any and all replies.

The client will need to have bmt installed as well... and you will need to set the fanart folder on the client to point to where your shared fanart folder is located.

That is odd... there is no set limit... and i;ve personally scanned hundreds in a single scan. I can't offer anything here.

This will depend on your platform. If you are running linux, you just edit the startsage script and set the -Xmx property... for windows it's something different... I think (and I could be wrong) that babgvant created some sort of tool for setting the jvm memory under windows.
