Video genre

nhoffman82 · 2008-02-25, 05:10

I've had a few difficulties with some of the features my videos. For one thing, I cannot seem to get video genre thumbs, I put "Action.JPG" for example in the genre folder nothing shows (no matter what skin or layout I'm using). This makes it hard to navigate, because without thumbs unless I have it on list layout all the icons are invisible.

Another issue is when it downloads actor info from the IMDB (during the database scan), it's hit or miss on what thumb nails for the actors get downloaded, and then when I right click on an actor and select "IMDB", the screen shows the movies, but the actor biography always shows as "#Actor.Biography" I know it's not that big of deal, just wondered if anyone else had the same problem .. I think the ability to look at actors and what movies they are assigned to is really cool. Is there a way to edit the biography's by hand?

I really would like to get those genre thumbs working though, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Awesome, yeah that is fixed, great. Actor problem still is there, but I'm glad the genre thumbs got fixed.

Thx.
