Video player with audio switching (GTVBox/ViMu Player)

[D-Bone]

Hello, I am also having troubles getting my movie sheets to display. I have gone through the forums here and looked over all the suggestions but they still don't show up.

The Important Info:

GTVBox Version: 0.3
Using ThumbGen 1.2.8.0 (tried movienizer also, no joy. I like the functionality of ThumbGen so far.)
-Using the WDTVLive Movies Sheet profile
-Having it generate Thumbnail, Extra Thumbnail, and Main Moviesheet

Folder structure is as follows:
Movies (folder)
-Movie 1 (folder)
--Movie 1.mkv
--Movie 1_sheet.jpg
--Movie 1.jpg
--folder.jpg
-Movie 2 (folder)
--Movie 2.avi
--Movie 2_sheet.jpg
--Movie 2.jpg
--folder.jpg

I have tried all 3 movie sheet options with the application itself.
Navigating to the Movie folder within GTVBov shows the sub-folders. Highlighting sub folder Movie 1 or Movie 2 shows nothing. Navigating to the movie itself shows no sheets or covers as well.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here, everything looks as it should according to previous poster's suggestions.

Thanks in advance for any assistance! Love the app so far otherwise!

I have the exact same set-up as D-Bone. I even tried to move the individual movie folders out of the main "Movie" folder and still had no luck. These files are all on the SMB share and not on a usb drive. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

New update for covers and sheets is awesome! What is the maximum resolution? Also, any plans for MKV embedded titles?

i have to say this is just brilliant. i had my collection setup for acRyan movie sheets, but a quick batch file last night to copy all hte jpgs into the right naming for GTVBox and now all run spot on.

for those that mentioned issues, incase it helps my structure is as follows (note that i know some of these files arent needed for gtvBox)

folder called "300 (2006)"
0001.jpg
300 (2006).jpg
300 (2006).mkv
300 (2006).mkv.tgmd
300 (2006).mkv_sheet.jpg
300 (2006).nfo
300 (2006)_sheet.jpg
folder.jpg

and this is using the WD setting within gtvbox. and that works great

now the only gripe i have is on playback of massive mkvs the buffering and fast forwarding (massive = ~>10G)

Hm... It should work. Could you archive your folder contents (except of mkv files) and send them to contact at gtvbox.net?

I cannot do anything about fast-forward yet, but the next version will have some enhancement of high-bitrate streaming.

You mean covers inside MKV?

That's excellent news, because right now that's the only thing stopping me from using this 100% of the time. SD and low bitrate 720p play perfectly over SMB, but anything higher and it lags horribly every 10 seconds or so. I am on wireless N, but even the highest bitrate 1080p stuff I've got plays perfectly in the Logitech Player over DLNA.

Great, great player. I only wonder why some mkv subs show up and some don't. The application sees the subtitles but then doesn't show them.
Is there something i can change in the settings to achieve this?

thanks.

If you are interested in testing, please, mail me to contact at gtvbox.net. I'll send you test builds, so we can try to "tune" caching performance.
