The Best Video Plugin Ever!!

DemonSeed · Apr 16, 2009

I just wanted to show the world the best Media Center Plugin I have found!

This is MediaBrowser
AND IT'S FREE .................

It can do it all and much, much more!
Sort out Giant Library's over multiple HDD's or even PC's
Find cover and backdrop's with no help.
It has the best UI I've ever seen.
I'm going to shut up and let the pictures talk for me! Check it out!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MediaBrowser is a community driven program and so is this thread.
I am always on the lookout for the little things, that most no one knows, to help other people out, so if you know something that may help others.!
please tell me so I can add it in. And of coarse give you all the credit!

Do to excessive traffic on my drop box I am having to redirect you to another page to see this post.
Click Here to Continue

You can still talk to me here. I am email linked to the thread.

Here is a little video I put together to show off the Vanilla Theme and the new Home Page.

The UI is great but I find the collection management not so good as MyMovies 2. It's shame that the two couldn''t be merged:D

DemonSeed · Apr 17, 2009

I take no credit for any of the icons or photos, or work of any kind
Other than putting this collection together in one place

All This was possible because of the hard work from
Credits:
Xzener
movnup
Groove
cushty
Olywa123
And the list goes on......

So please Enjoy,

Hey! Thanks very, very much for the ImagesByName...That is a great help.

Too bad there is not a plugin that will look at all your DVDs and automatically download the Actor Photos for them

BTW, what does the MediaInfo.dll do?

Thanks again.

CoachGary.

CoachGary · Apr 26, 2009

P.S. I use Album Art Downloader to get my Actors photos.

No problem.

The media Info.dll goes in you sys32 folder and will add richer info to your movies i.e. file type,ratings and a few other things (see pic Let The Right One In)
if your on a x64 OS use the x64dll and put it in the sys32 and WOW64 folders

Also Here is another tool that will Automatically scan your library and fetch All MetaData,Backdrops,Posters,Banners,Actor Pics, Hell Everything
For TV or Movies
Meta<Browser/>

Hope this helps out

Hey Everyone Ounce again Some new icons are out this time by Woodlake.
And Wow They are nice!!!

Media Browser BBS • View topic - Woodlake's Icon Set

da180 · Apr 28, 2009

OK, yours looks great!
Now why does mine look simple like the plain blue background with pictures of the DVD box covers with no other poster size until I select them?

I would like to do something like your "Lost" episodes and Harry Potter. Can someone give a quick tutorial or point me to where there is one?

Also, my media browser does not have a configuration box as shown in the post.

DemonSeed · Apr 28, 2009

OK
First Thank You.

There are a few things you need to do to get yours to look like mine.
First unhide your hidden folders.
Then go to Program Data/Media Browse/Startup, and add a jpg of your choice named backdrop. This will show on your startup page.
You can find the config tool in your Windows start menu Media Browser folder.
Use this to add your choice of icons to the first folders that MB sees.
Also I have my theme set to vanilla and have show backdrops checked.

If you need any more help or if I was not clear please let me know

da180 · Apr 28, 2009

Thanks for the help, this should give a good start.

Two more questions for now:

1. Did you do your opening screen in Photoshop or something similar, what size should I be aiming for?

2. What size icon should I be using for say, the folder icon for what I use which is "My Home Theater"?

DemonSeed · Apr 28, 2009

If you go back into my post you'll find a few downloads.
The fox logo builder is how I made the backdrop. A.K.A Blender
And there is a link to a LOT of icons that you can use for MB
I use 1920x1080 sizes but MB will auto resize any jpg its given.

da180 · Apr 28, 2009

Thank you very much. I have switched to vanilla and things are looking nicer already!

Footloose · Apr 28, 2009

I tried it. Could get passed the configuration file. Does not work on my computer.

If your using Vista or Win 7 it will work. X32 or X64
Tell me what kind of prob are you having and I will talk you through it.

Agreed, this is without doubt the best Media Center plugin ever. I use it all the time, and a plus point is that it even changes the name of TV series episode titles (only within the program itself)...

Footloose · Apr 29, 2009

perhaps I downloaded the wrong stuff. Please tell me where to download the whole program "Media Browser" ? What I got from the download I did is just a configuration file. I found that at media browser Download. Maybe this is wrong site.

DemonSeed · Apr 29, 2009

No you got it .
You can find it in your Media Center Program Library.
To add it to the main page right click on the Media Browser and set to main page.
If you need any more help let me know.

You'll find it within the extras library

Ok thanks, I found it but when it comes up I lose my mouse cursor display. This makes it hard to get around.
