Not true, both PNG and cache file will be corrupt. In memory, however, they look good. At least, the png does. It seems that writing these files corrupts them somehow...Blue-K said:I hope that trailers aren't a replacement for Fanarts, and that Fanarts are still being worked on...
Otherwise, thanks r-win, keep it going.
Fanarts? I never worked on Fanarts. I think nIxx made a test release once for fanarts. I had my thoughts about it, but never wrote a single line of code for it. Btw, I can see the thinking here: I thought about playing the video at the background too

png
all show fine on PC
downloaded from PC not via wiiflow as these show as corrupt in folder
the png files are not the problem, those will be fine, it's the cache file that is created after new covers have been added manually or downloaded. If you put the covers on the sd card, the cache files will be fine, after that you could copy the cache files to the HDD again and load from there. Works fine for me. Let's hope r-win will be able to tackle this problem soon
r-win said:Yep, agreed! But for the record, I refused to support any other format than THP, and the reason is clear (I think). I don't want to build another mplayer clone, because the mplayer team is far more skilled than I am at doing media stuff. Secondly, a THP video is just a stream of JPG files, for which we already have the code to display them. Downside, it makes them big, and you have to put them on your drive manually, OR, if a host can be found, they can be streamed (I think) directly.Rankine said:r-win, can you disable the "Install" button if the setting is set to NTFS? (unless that's already done)
Well, installation should be disabled on NTFS, but that could've been a bug easily.
@Teentin, I'll try to fix this in the next revision.
Oh great. So if we want to use it, we'll have to put in the short trailer in there ourselves? And even then they need to be in THP format? That's INCREDIBLY troublesome, and something that is hardly called a "feature" if it comes with such an inconvenience;Rankine said:QUOTE(djbubba2002 @ Apr 6 2010, 03:30 AM) and the videos will be on your sdcard or hdd..
I second that. Banner loading instead of covers would also be nicer.Rankine said:Trailers? So I'm going to watch a video of a game that I intentionally downloaded? Probably is great for people who randomly download games, but if I'm getting a certain game, I know what it's going to be about, and thus negates the point of having such a useless feature.
Now... if it's "banner" loading instead, that's a different story.

TeenTin, I hope you can understand that searching for hard to find bugs makes me loose focus. Therefor, doing something completely different helps...Benjay said:Trailers are (for me) absolutely useless.....(and it's one more time a new button to add to my themes)
but i would be very happy if R-win could have a look at a way to implement fanarts
come on dude ^^ i know you can do it !!!!!
Noooo, no extra button. As I said before, I think this feature is useless, and won't be used that much. Therefor, I didn't add a button, but it requires a button click on the wiimote (up). Fanarts are doable, of course, but they will add a small delay to the loader.
QUOTE(TeenTin @ Apr 6 2010, 11:42 PM) I really hope that the next version merely focuses on bugs fixes, without implementing any new features.
Hope we can get a new stable and bug free version, since R25.
