I don't set the wallpaper. All the background graphics are inherited from whatever theme you have installed.

Thanks

I believe it shows up under videos.

You definitely don't want to import the stvi manually or it will be double imported at that time and cause other issues.

Yes, phoenix meta data is in place and works in everything else but TVB. I'll send you an email (you gave me you address earlier) with a log.

Well, that's still not it then. I have fanart, it's just not displaying. This is on my htpc where sage service is running.

I tried placeshifter on my laptop and the fanart shows up.

What else can I check for on my main htpc?

Thanks

I LOVE this plugin broconne!

If possibe, I have one feature request. When on the detail screen, it displays the banner when available, however, not all banners are the same size. It appears that you have the graphic centering, so when they are too short, they appear to be offset in relation to the text underneath. Is it possible to maybe set this to left-align? I think it would just polish the view in these cases.

Thanks again.

That is a pretty good idea.. I do have some bad news about the plugin however. I recently (yesterday) suffered a hard drive crash. I should be able to recover the STVI code - but the Java code that drives TVB is lost for good. At some point, I will have to recode it - just not sure how soon that will be.

That really sucks! Sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear about that. I too have lost code due to failures and it sucks. The only upside was that when I rewote the code, it ended up way more streamlined.

Instant version 2.0

I am having some trouble with TVbrowser. Is there still support? The plugin is loaded, but there is no content listed when I select it from the TV menu.

If you read a couple of posts up, broccone lost his source code. And I don't think he has attempted to rewrite it. I think the plugin is dead at the moment.

I never got it to work. Been using TVE since it came out for v6 and love it. I would have liked to give this one a try though.

I did read that he'd lost the source code. What i thought that meant was no updates were forthcoming.
So in theory, everyone's TVbrowser plugin should be coming up with zero content?

It's funny. When I first installed this plugin, it worked properly. Shows grouped on left, and individual episodes on the right. Very simple. For some reason, I ended up reinstalling my client software, and after that I never was able to get it populate again. I tried fresh install of Client, fresh install of plugin.. nada.

So I ended up uninstalling it, and never tried again.

I loaded TVE this morning. At first glance it looks like it'll get the wifes approval. Thanks for the suggestion.

No problem.
