The problem with my mouse pointer only occurs in the Max screen mode. I googled this and found it is a known problem. Thanks for you help.

 

[DemonSeed]

Try this and see if it wont fix your mouse prob
The Maxifer
It just runs in the taskbar and with a Rt Click will make MC full screen

It should keep the courser on top full time so just move off screen when you dont need it

 

[Footloose]

I appreciate you help but Maxifer just made my mouse pointer problem worst. With it my pointer display will disappear in all modes of media center. thank for help.

I have just finished giving my covers a new look what do y'all think?

NEW LOOK

OLD LOOK

I found a tutorial on how to do this (auto Batch file)on the Media Browser forum here
Media Browser BBS • View topic - Stark like covers in Coverflow if any one would like to do theirs as well.

I have found a way to add a Trailer Feature to Media Browser.

In order for this to work You will need to have all your movies in there own folder and a mymovies.xml inside. If you don't already here is a BatchFile you can place in your movie folder and run. It will put every movie it a folder named after the movie.
I use This Tool to add all of the metadata and backdrops and covers to all of my movies. It will save everything it can find to each movie folder automatically in a mymovies.xml doc.
It will work for Movies or TV Shows. After you have a mymovies.xml in all of your folders you can edit them to your harts delight. And create any info or picture you want to see for each movie.

Here is How to add the trailer button:
First Go and download HD Movie Trailer Downloader
It can scan your library and add trailers to all of the movies it finds matches to automatically.

Now go in to all the movie folders that have a trailer in them and edit your mymovies.xml

Your going to want to scroll down to the bottom of the xml
and and remove </Title>

    </Person>
  </Persons>
  <Studios />
  <Covers>
    <Front>folder.jpg</Front>
    <Back />
  </Covers>
</Title>

And Add

  <LocalTrailer>
  <URL>J:\Wanted\trailer.mov</URL>
  <Type>1</Type>
  </LocalTrailer>
</Title>

Then SAVE

So it will look like this

  </Persons>
  <Studios />
  <Covers>
    <Front>folder.jpg</Front>
    <Back />
  </Covers>
  <LocalTrailer>
  <URL>J:\Vantage Point\trailer.mov</URL>
  <Type>1</Type>
  </LocalTrailer>
</Title>

And then run Media Browser and you will find a new button!

But the best part is when you play the trailer it plays in the preview window only!
At least in the Vanilla Theme.

Petty Cool Right?!!

OK here is were I would love some help from someone out there that can right a script.
A script that can find the newly added trailers and add the info to the xml automatically.

ANYONE UP TO THE TASK?

I messed it on another thread but pureMG has already done what I was asking for!
Yeaaaa!!!

Hey guys.
I wrote a little Program in C# which takes care of the xml editing needed to implement trailers.
Basically it checks every sub-folder of a given path for mymovies.xml and inserts the Trailer Tags.
The Program will only edit your XML file if a trailer.mov is found. Obviously all trailers need to be called trailer.mov and be placed inside the Movie folder.

You can start the Program directly from inside your collection directly or you can supply a working path when you execute it.


Here's the link:
http://www.lasergunspewpew.de/trailerxml.rar

BTW:
It worked perfect for me but I hacked this together in like 10mins and it's just supposed to be a temporary solution until this gets properly implemented in MediaBrowser.

I just ran the app pureMG wrote and it seem to work pretty good.

Later All,
DemonSeed

P.S.
Now if any one knows of a better way to get the trailers please let me know.
The one I show is good but it still left a lot of my movies in the dark.
I'm sure if we put our heads together we can come up with a way for almost all of our movies to have trailers.

Hey Thanks DemonSeed great work
One question how do you get all the movie thumb nails as I have a few missing on my movie collections.
And I love your (new look) wish mine looked like that as I run my theatre in 1080p and that would look so cool on my 135" screen.
Cheers
P.S any more downloads would be appreciated to help us achieve the fantastic look that should of been standard in Vista and especially Windows 7
Keep up the good work.

Well first of all let me say Welcome to the forum,
then let me say thank you very much!

Some one else asked me the same thing!

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.

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
DemonSeed

And I am always looking for more was to mod Media Center and Media Browser so keep on the look out on the cover page because I add things all the time!

I use This Tool to get all of my covers and info. But was just told this one is good to

[DemonSeed]

Tell ya what copy this from here

C:\Program Files\MediaBrowser\MediaBrowser\Configurator.exe

And paste it in your windows explorer window bar and push the little aero and the tool should open up for you

 

[Wolfzz]

Ah that one I thought there was another one I was missing so how do I set to vanilla theme and show backdrops have I missed installing something?

 

[DemonSeed]

that part's inside media center MB UI click the config and then you'll see the other options.

If you look back I have pictures of it posted
