New tighter spacing allows us to slice images more and it is possible to build something like this (quick demo). Hint... 3 text rows beside 1 (actually 4) image

@Lepa. How did you manage to have those text on the right side of image? Can you share that?

Sliced album art image to three different images. Before this tightening change only two images tower was possible

Moving on...
Worked a little with my Series templates. Shows progress using delimiter bar between header data and description. bar is gray if there is no progress and completely blue when completed and something between while ongoing

Hello guys,

i got the newest JRiver (V32) installed. Now i want to change the theater view screen but i have no clue how to do that. Is there a tutorial how to change the screen?

[lepa]

There are some instructions in the first post but it isn't just simple mouse click most of the times and at least my public templates are broken currently as MC's theater view changes are is still under development so I don't want to spend my time fixing my stuff many times

Thanks for the help. I added that into a new blank expression and nothing shows up. Tried adding to an existing expression like the 'header' and still got nothing.

Ah, haven't used MC's stock poster fetching for ages as it can only save poster next to file so you probably need something like this:
<img src="[Filename (path)]Filename(,0).jpg"  height="200">

That did it, thanks!

Example:  C:\Users\jimh\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 32\Library\Backup

You may also want to back up on your own before upgrading.  If you don't want your templates to be overwritten, then after you restore, manually edit the version in your current templates file (with a text file editor) to be Version="100.0" or some high number.  The templates file path is "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 32\Library\theater view file info templates.xml" in Windows for a local library.  For a library server client, this has to be done on the server.  Note that if you do any editing of the templates in the MC dialog, it will revert to the current version when saved.

Yeah, this is not a success-oriented approach for the long term.

Unless, of course, JR is now taking Apple's approach of dictating to users.

The new templates are interesting to me in some scenarios.

But mostly, meh.

I'd prefer my prior data-focused templates instead of the new image-focused templates.

I'm not saying ~dump the image focused templates~

All I am saying is to support the more textual templates without having to jump through the backup/restore hoops.

Why can't the more textual, less image-oriented, templates be an option in the Theater View options area?

I did an upgrade of MC this afternoon (to 32.0.44 on Windows 10), and I lost the templates I had enabled.

I had to play the restore dance.

Really?  A software provider making users jump through hoops?

Is this what MC has come to, forcibly overriding user-set options?



imo, this is not a good path to go down....

We're not trying to force anything on anyone.  The problem exists because users modified a standard part of MC.

Isn't it because something that could/should be configurable/pluggable can only be configured in this way? ie the actual problem is a gap in MC not users doing it wrong

I must admit I was surprised a couple of weeks ago when I did an update my Theatre View had changed. I went hunting for the tools to put all the missing info back as I had it with the old view, but discovered I was stuck with what had been supplied which was much less than I had. To be honest I really dont care about images of the stars and related movies that seem to be completly unrelated to the film on view.

Is all this info pulled from IMDb or some other place?

If one wants to how can one go back to the old view and select the info from the list we used to have?
