If the MoviePosterApp is already installed, what files(s) from this one should I copy and overwrite specifically in my current installation?

Its been a hot min since i worked on it Ill get you a list .. i assuming you got the updated youtube dll already?

I believe so, but isn't it only required to view trailers?

Yes just the trailers , it has a new update it needs to work but if your not using it dont worry about that one ..

You need to copy over the XBMCmediaInterface folder

Its in Great Dane Cinema/MoviePoster/Plugins/

Your settings should be fine since they are saved in your temporary cache

Its been almost a year since i changed everything im pretty sure there were 4 dll files that i had changed from CinemaVision to Preshow im double checking now but i think everything was in the plugin folder .

I will use Dreamweaver to search to see if there's any more files that need transfered over

Just a side note i didn't change the cs files where it calls for the filename “moviecinemavision” so if you want to change the artwork you will have to use that filename .. I figured the creator would be updating it anyway so why change it , all i just changed the dll files that would see CinemaVision playing to Preshow so it would be functional till hopefully it gets updated

Got it working, though in my Plugins folder it was KodiMediaInterface and not XBMCmediaInterface. I noticed the issue after realizing I suddenly had two Kodi tabs in the Settings Plugin menu.

Quick question in case you know the answer. When the MoviePosterApp first loads up the original “Coming Soon” banner appears at the top of the screen briefly (and five white stars at the bottom right). I've created my own theme and am using custom banners but for the life of me I can't figure out where that original “Coming Soon” banner and the five stars are being pulled from. I’d like to get rid of it if possible. Any ideas?

Im looking into it like i said its been awhile . I thought it loaded the default theme when it first loads ( the one in the program folder not your themes in your documents folder ) that just how the program starts on defaults then loads custom thems ect. and i do remember you have to delete the temporary cache images you basically looking at a webpage and images are stored for fast loading but can seem to find were its pulling the coming soon from im going to have to look at the code and get back to you ..
