Cover Flow Help in Media Center

[onlymeagain]

Can someone please help me with setting up my cover flow in media center?
I am running Windows 7, build 7100. I have configured the vanilla theme and activated cover flow and back drop. All I get when I go to movies, are thumbnails and nothing else
Am I missing something obvious here I have searched through the threads here, but I cannot find anything that seems to help.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Are you talking about Media Center or Media Browser??

You might be confused, or we might be. Natively, 7MC doesn't do "cover flow" and there's nothing in it called the Vanilla theme.

There is a Vanilla theme in Media Browser, though, which is an installable plugin for VMC and 7MC that has a cover flow style theme...

Have you downloaded and installed Media Browser?

Have you seen a picture somewhere that's made you think "I want THAT"? If so, stick a link up.

Sorry about the confusion.

I have installed the plugin for 7MC and I have configured the vanilla theme and activated cover flow and back drop. All I get when I go to movies, are thumbnails and nothing else

Hope that this helps a bit more.

have you organised your files corerctly file structure wise and naming convention for it to collect the data?

I think so. I have all my movies in individual folders, each containing the movie, a jpeg file and a dvdid.xml file. Does this seem correct? Maybe if not, could you show me how they should be?

Thanks for the help, I think that I am missing something obvious

i have only just started to use it but it seems o add covers etc automatically, see link below for info on organising folders

I can get the covers etc to load OK, but cannot get the cover flow to work correctly.

i am not sure if i am getting your problem, you set the view to cover flow and thats it isnt it or are you doing that and not geting covers displayed?

 

[onlymeagain]

I have the view set for cover flow, but all I get is a thumbnail showing. I will post an image tomorrow from my other PC to try and show the problem.
Thanks for all your help.
