Spare time
The goal of this guide is that it will help others understand what I believe is the easiest way to generate his sheets on a Mede8er.
Before you start making templates:
you need to make sure that your Movie files are named correctly and in separate folders ,so that they can be found
Otherwise u will have multiple sheets in one directory and your mediaplayer wont understand what to do with them.
Example:
Movies\Watched\The Bucketlist\ The Bucket List.mkv
I know it is a pain to put all episodes in folders manually.
A good thing is I found a script that does it for u. Al you have to do for it is open notepad copy the text below. And save the files as
(folder.bat) and copy that file to the directory you want and run it in.
@echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for %%i in (*.*) do (
if exist %%i (
set test=%%~ni
set substring=!test:~0,-3!
set test=!test:~-3!
if !test!==cd1 (
md "!substring!"
move "!substring!*.*" "!substring!"
) ELSE (
md "%%~ni"
move "%%~ni.*" "%%~ni"
)
)
)
Put this file in the main folder where are your movies are and double-click. It will make a folder for every filename and it will move
the files with the same name (all the different extensions) in that folder. This is done in 1 sec. afterwards all u have to do is delete
the folder named “folder”.

Select the 'Sheets' layout, and your screen should look like this:
1) Select 'Image 1' in the 'Search Results' tab. It doesn't do anything, but if you don't do it then the 'Backdrops' tab will fail to
populate! (You can change the template by clicking on dropdown box where the red arrow is on the above image. Personally I use
movie_std _fullfan as template)
3) Select the 'Movie Information' tab.

1) Select an image for the background. These are the large images that appear in the backdrop list. They usually show a
resolution of 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080.
2) Click the tick button to apply it to the 'Background' position of the template.
3) You can use the tools menu to flip any of the images for a better fit. Just look out for images with text as these will appear
backwards!
Your window should now look like this:
1) If you are still happy with the images you have chosen, click the 'Generate them! (and go to next) button.
NOTE: I have found that you must return to the 'Search Results' tab before clicking the 'Generate them! (and go to next)' button. If
you don't, then the sheet will not auto-populate properly for the next sheet in the list!
That should be everything done!
I hope this has been a useful guide. There are many ways to create sheets, but this is how I do mine .
