    How do you make audit show missing content?

    OK Guys I'm hella dumb. I didn't notice the bottom slidey toolbar. I wasn't asking for the tool to be part of the builder but the audit thing is rather silly you can't pick your columns. And you cannot just click a title to be able to edit it. I am still hoping very much for a start (Pause) menu maker tab. Thank you guys. Sorry for the troubles. b safe all.

    That's not the intent of the CTC. It's not intended to create a theme that shows missing content, it's just the opposite - it has functionality to set fallback images e.g. No box art? Show 3D box, No 3D box? Show Fanart Box, No Fanart Box? Show Clear Logo, etc... (These priorities are set within the LaunchBox settings)

    As you mentioned, this is the function of the Audit tool. It works well. Sort the games by columns to see what images/media are missing (or have duplicates).

    How do you make audit show missing content?

  3. Yes but for each possible artwork. Video manual theme music logo etc. This would make things a lot easier for people to contribute as well because they would know what isn't available. Like oh I have that I can scan that etc. I'm not sure it would work too awesome in big box but the main launchbox part this would be awesome. I didn't understand what the audit thing did I thought that is where it would have worked in a table view. Thank you.

  4. This has probably been asked can you make a checker thingy. That has dots for each artwork or video available. So we know which ones are missing vid manual logo etc. And also could you make a pause theme edit section. I try to use your program daily. I wanted to say thank you. Your crazy amount of work is very appreciated. Cheers my friend.

    You don't need the physical media (art files) present to use the Community Theme Creator app.  Though I suppose it would be nice when using its built-in preview capabilities.

     

    As an option, this plugin will search for existing media you may have for each movie when scraping and prioritize those over downloading media.

    It looks in the same folder the movie file is located and will import and allocate corresponding images.  I personally have never used any of those multimedia center programs and have no idea where and how image files are stored.  But I "heard from a guy" the media is located in the same folder as the movie file and uses the following naming convention. This is how they will get import into LB.

    Saved in LB as:     local media

    Th reason I had asked is there are over 10,000 movies several movies share the same title so my movies are named like this.

    The writeups are stored in nfo files so they are offline.

    art files are

    The folder structure is all files inside of a single folder named the same as the movie title.

    Since mine are already scraped with the artwork and writeups and named.

    Do you know of a way that Launchbox can read what I currently have. I have attached the nfo file via zip If you wanted to see what I was talking about.

    If I use your plugin I'd have to rename not just the movies but thousands and thousands of art files to match. And without the dates I'd have duplicate titles but from different years.

    I have also noticed sometimes that it is required to replace spaces with an underscore. Can you explain why.

    Thank you very much for your time Joe.

    If I could get this to work essentially we could build any interface with the community theme maker.

    And I could skip using kodi all together.

    Another thing I was thinking of is having a book and comic section. I have several series of comics.

    I had wished That Jason would have made this support into launchbox and not had his music box seperate from launchbox. An all in one for all of your pc media.

  6. Hellow Arc not sure if you are still around. I was wondering if I could request some titles I do not think they came out on the little sd card thingy.

    Anyways they are persona 3 persona 5 and persona 4 . Thank you and have a good day.

  7. I've got what is probably a really stupid question. Does anyone know of a plugin that can read kodi art files. I've been backing my media for ten years now and have all the artwork and movies. I would like it to read the nfo file and then I coud in launchbox theme builder just place the assets ie from cover clear logo where ever.
