Luke 37048 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm looking for some default images to be included with the server. If you have any ideas or would like to design some, please submit them for consideration. We need: - Movies - TV - Music - Games - Books - Photos - Channels - Live TV - A generic fallback for folders The higher the resolution, the better, but they must be 16*9 exactly. They also need to be family friendly. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37048 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Wow, these are very interesting. Well done! I'll try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I like those too. What about non-english users though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37048 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 I like those too. What about non-english users though? It's a good point, but it's also just a default to prevent blank gray tiles from showing up. many people will want to replace them with their own.

bloodtaker 71 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 The different languages would be easy as long as I know the proper spelling of said languages as its basically just a font with an image mask on top of them. This was just a quicky to see how they work. I could even do them like the second channels one with the image just a texture setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37048 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 yea. my one suggestion would be a little extra spacing so that the text isn't right at the borders. i guess that means slightly reduced font sizes, but i think it'd be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodtaker 71 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 That will be an easy fix. I am guessing close to what the music image is spacing wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhoff80 87 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Honestly, I think something more along the lines of yardameus' post here http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/4947-flat-ehs-collection-icons/ would look a little more professional. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with those icons in this thread, and I'm sure there are plenty of people who would like them. I'm just not entirely sure that's the look you want to be projecting to any new users. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 not so sure adult2.jpg is what we want "projecting' to any new users either.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaefurr 1337 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Love to help but im short on time lately, the Disparity set I made is mostly done if you want to use that, or I can throw something together like the MB3 set from gamebrowser. Examples.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37048 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 That top set is very nice, although colors are a bit too strong for the web client. Thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergo Proxy 21 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 When I have a moment I'll have a look and play around. Personally the way to go is the icon route as it will be more universal then actually a text based image. However, the icons have to have some harmony and not stick out like a sore thumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I did these Shared files from OneDrive http://1drv.ms/1hHX4nY For boxing,football, home videos, movies, music videos etc... They were on transparent backgrounds, forgot what size I did them tho! They look good in square and in the WP and roku clients. Not sure how they'd look on anything else mind you!

Beardyname 194 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Maybe a good idea is for the devs to pick out a couple they like and then do a public vote ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardameus 220 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Figured I'd tweak these for this in particular. Through in a couple alternatives. Decided to leave out the adult themed ones. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19852806/media%20browser/default/default%20icons.zip 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I think Live TV is confusing. That's basically the icon that is used for casting/remote. Live TV Alt is better. I wonder if something could be done to better indicate 'live". Maybe the TV with a person icon inside? Sort of like a newscaster sort of feel.

yardameus 220 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I also noticed on the web client that there was a collections icon needed. Is this the same as the generic folder you were speaking of? I made one of my boxset/collections image. Also a live tv alternate. If there's interest I'll throw 'em in the zip, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
