Just getting started, couple questions

I just setup Media Browser 3, added my media and let the scrapers do their thing which all has worked perfectly. The web interface is great looking and everything up to this point has been great.

 

Then fired up my main TV (2011 Samsung D series Plasma) to check out DLNA (using built in DLNA browser, not app) to see if it can replace ServIio as my server. Couple things I noticed.

 

1) All thumbnails and coverart were missing. I changed AlbumArtPN from JPEG_SM to JPEG_TN which seemed to work for music with 600x600 album covers but did not work for movies. I increaed max from 512x512 to 1920x1080 and still no luck. I manually reduced the size of folder.jpg for one of the files in the data directory but still nothing. Do i have to clear cache or anything?  There is another discussion similar going on here but anybody have suggestions on what else I can try?

2) With Serviio, when I select Video from the TV, I only get video. When I select Music, I only get music. Same for Images. When I use Media Browser, everything shows up for all categories. Is this expected behavior or am I doing something wrong?

 

Then came xbmc integration. I added the repo and installed XBMB3C plugin along with modified Confluence skin and modified Aeon MQ5 skin. Movies work great. Music somewhat works great in both skins. Then I tried images to browse photos. In Confluence, it appeared to open the way I want to folder view (since all the pictures are organized in folders). In Aeon MQ5, it seems to open in different spots, the most common is Photo view which lists all photos in flattened view. This takes a couple minutes to load the 1000's of photos. If I back out then go to pictures, i get the folder view where I can browse my images very fast.  Is there any way I can change it in Aeon MQ5 skin to always default to that same spot?

 

Sorry for the long first post. Media Browser seems to be the all in one solution (DLNA, Metadata management, XBMC integration, mobile access) that can finally get the wife on board but just some minor things are preventing it from being perfect.

 

Thanks!

Ok, the images issue was easily resolved by editing menu item and going to add-on node. That was an oversight on my part.

 

Other DLNA issues still stand. I will try beta server version, although it seems based on other threads that had issues with DLNA.
