Theater view specific requests

I also went back to WMC for movies, so very short sting with MC, with media browser 2.6 it is now very easy to use VLC or MPC-HD to play content which fixed my audio issue, MB 2.6's neo theme is also very slick! I will probably still use MC for music since it supports ASIO and even the TV interface is better for me than WMC, but that would be only if I can get the squeezebox control working since I would prefer not to use the TV interface. For me Theater View is a long way behind the WMC+Media Browser I don't think it will catch up any time soon.

Hi all,

Did you ever listened to any song of "The Eels" in Theater View » Playing now?

I would like to see some scrolling pictures of the band, The Eels concert pictures, etc..
Theater view does this very well with other bands, but not with this one, and some others.

If you try it with "The Eels" you will see lots of pictures of fishes (Eels) and fishermen :-).
It seems a bug in the search engine that happens with some bands with peculiar names and its one feature that could be improved.

Looking forward to take a look at the v18!!!

Best regards,
Tiago

If you turn off Google as one of the sources for the images, you will get more relevent images....

It would. And I think it's possible to edit a text file to add for instance "artist" or "band" to certain artist searches. But it's not very user friendly at all. I do not remember where this file is, or what's it called.

People have been screaming for years for the ability to add your own background images to both artists, series, movies and so on. This is something that should be added sooner or later imo. Many media centers have had this ability for years. Don't get me wrong. Most of us love that you have the default built in way of doing it automatically, but there will be plenty of times where users want to control this them self. This is J River Media Center we're talking about. The application where you can do almost ANYTHING. Anything but this....

I have applications that brings me all the images I would ever want. But there are no good way of viewing this. Yes, we have themes. But let's just face it... That's probably not gonna work unless it starts looking for images next to the media.
