Movies Template: NoPoster 100% MC Scaling (1920x1080 [OS 100%] or 3840x2160 [OS 200%]) V1.3.4
I've spent quite much time for tinkering this and now doesn't have any ideas or motivation to work on this further right now so I decided it is time to share and maybe it is helpful for some other. Lots of new stuff and refactoring done so probably there are things that don't work for you or looks different than for me... Creating fields and configuring may seem like a big job but i'd say that documenting these are actually much bigger job than setting this up.
Template is designed for 100% theaterview scaling, 3840x2160 (200% Windows OS scaling) / 1920x1080 (100 OS scaling) resolution and "show more values at a time in the file info panel" enabled. Changing the values to some other will break the layout a bit or completely
* Create fields needed to get most of the template. MCUtils xml-file attached can create the fields automatically (MCUtils is required for recommendations). Also added MCWS calls to create fields with browser
* Save tooltip images attached to your MC installation/data/tooltip folder
* Copy paste "NoPoster (100%) v1.3.4.txt" (Tools >> Options >> Theater View >> Options >> ...Customize file info panel... >> Manage >> Add Template From Clipboard) (first post installation and config.jpg for reference guide). See also attached link in this post
* Install fonts. I'm using Theater (Thanks FenceMan for suggestion), Hack and Segoe UI. Hack can be changed in the configuration but template is untested with any other mono type. Feel free to test wit some other mono font and report back
* You can use below configuration description as a reference guide to disable/enable features and set file paths in CONFIGURATION row of the template. (see attached image where to change configuration options)
Configuration descriptions:
By default all the special sections are disabled (value 0, change value to 1 to enable it) as they require those yser fields you might not have created. Edit configuration value only when customizing

FenceMan:
Not sure where to put the actors folder?
C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 31\Data\Tooltip\.MC Images\Actors
Is that not it?
lepa:
If your actors images are in that folder then replace my default path with yours in the configuration. See your ZRatings (or MCUtils) settings to see where it does save the images if unsure
my actor images are located at "e:\.MC Images\Actors\" so in my configuration it is:
Save(e://.MC Images//Actors//, V_ACTOR_IMAGE_PATH)/
i use / (another / to escape...) notation so it will also work in linux but in windows tou can use \
So you don't have to use same dir as i am hence the configuration option :P

Still not working.
If my Actors folder is - C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 31\Data\Tooltip\.MC Images\Actors
Then the line should be Save(C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 31\Data\Tooltip\.MC Images\Actors\, V_ACTOR_IMAGE_PATH)\ ??
Also if I want to show the posters how do I set the path to that?
