Unfortunately it isn't a one click process.
Older mega thread also describes the steps a bit https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,119385.0.html.
As it isn't one click process it is kind of hard to write any one guide fits for all type instructions. It is also time consuming without real knowledge if it is even useful to anybody or if there is an audience at all. In my template examples I use invisible rows to configure the paths, fonts and colours as much as I can so it could be adjusted more easily for different tastes.
I suggest to ask for help here if you are stuck. Maybe paste your current file info panel setup and paths where your images are. At least for me it is most of times quicker to try to help like that than trying to write some subjective documentation what i have done

Here is exactly what I did (I am actually starting over and I will document the steps here), any help is appreciated.
1. Downloaded both Movies (no cover).txt and Tooltip Images v1.3.0.zip from the first post.
2. Select all and copied Movies (no cover).txt to the clipboard.
3. JRiver Theaterview Customize File Info Panel, manage templates, add template from clipboard, manage move template to top, change primary language to English.
4. JRiver Theaterview, theme, install theme from zip file, selected and installed Tooltip Images v1.3.0.zip.
All of the logos appear to be installed here - C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 31\Skins\Theater View\Themes\Tooltip images v1.3.0 - Edit for others who read the folders with the logos in them need to be installed here - C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 31\Data\Tooltip
Edit for others reading this, see reply #36 for how to add the version field and reply #40 for what you can do with it. You right click on the file in JRiver and choose tag, then scroll to advanced, version, and you can fill things out there if you want to add them.
Actors are here - C:\Users\dishn\Documents\Actors and posters are here - C:\Users\dishn\Documents\Posters (from ZRatings) but I see no way to point to them?
Info panel is attached, please let me know if you see any issues and how to fix. Thank you very much.

Logo images should be inside "C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 31\Data\Tooltip\" directory.
I think my released "no cover template" doesn't include actor photos. I can add those to next version if you like. New version will also designed to be used using 100% windows scaling Current version should look best at 80% scaling. There is also some changes how to show similar movies in the next version so maybe you should not concentrate on that right now if it doesn't work for you right now

Ah that did it thanks. I still have an issue next to the title though, it says version? I would love actor photos if you do it.

Right, I use custom field version to separate different versions of same movie (director's cut etc). That way I don't pollute name fields with all the version data. My guess is that you don't have field called version and MC then just outputs it as a text. Easiest way would be just add that field to your database even if you don't personally use it. It should be then hidden when empty I think
BTW I'm glad that you were almost able to follow the instructions. I'll add note about image folders if there wasn't any yet. As some things are already so obvious for me I have surely missed some base tips.
