I picked ADX because they were the best price / performance at the time. Powered with a Dayton Audio SA230 amp. Best price / performance transducer now would have to be the Dayton Audio BST-300EX Extreme. Requires a beefier amp though like the SA1000.

Favorite unique piece of hardware would have to be the 4 x ADX Maximus tactile transducers installed to the seating. You dont just hear the movie. You feel it.

My JVC X790 projector is behind the first row and just above the second row. I set it about 12 feet back from lens to screen to allow a 10-foot screen at the shortest throw to maximize brightness. If I ever need to replace it I'll likely get a JVC NZ500 and set it about 16 feet back to accommodate a 10-foot screen at the longest throw to maximize contrast (it'll be plenty bright).

I've sometimes used an audio format bumper on occasion.

Extra MoviePosterApp Icons A growing collection of over 900 new and improved logos for the MoviePosterApp to refresh your digital movie poster with a pop of color. Many studio logos are now also double the resolution to look their best on 4K displays. Also included are colorized audio logos, new resolution logos, new aspect ratio logos and updated higher-res MPAA ratings. To use, just unzip the file and move the Aspect Ratio, Audio, MPAA, Resolution and Studio folders to the corresponding folder located in Images > Themes > Default > Logos of your MoviePoster App directory (if you're not using the Default theme just put them in your customized theme folder instead). Suggestions are welcome! File Information Submitter MidnightWatcher Submitted 02/07/2025 Category Other Files View File

Actually all you need is a free graphics program called Gimp to make your own customized banners. Once installed go to File > New and for the image size enter either 2160 x 200 (to create a UHD banner) or 1080 x 100 (to create a HD banner) and before clicking OK I'd recommend to select Advanced and change Fill With: Background color to Fill With: Transparency. Then select OK and start experimenting with adding hardware logos and/or text. Be sure to Export As a PNG file once done. Attached are two examples that I've made to replace the default Coming Soon and Welcome banners. https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

FYI - I've made a ton more logos and have now even began making them in higher resolution to maximize the quality on 4K screens. When I see any movie poster missing the studio logo I'll make a note, review the poster NFO to get the studio name and keep making more. The "official" release can be found here. My only issue is sometimes the studio name has a slash "/" in it on the NFO file and I'm not sure how to accommodate the logo filename in order to pull up and display the logo for that poster. Out of the hundreds I've looked at I've found 5 of these so far.

I had this happen to me once. Turns out my Kodi HTPC was turned off and it was trying to connect. Make sure Kodi is on and that it can connect to it. Also, if you overwrote your current install with this I wonder if the configuration file in the kodi / xbmc plugins directory is pointing to the wrong IP address? Check that also and update to your IP address if necessary.

If you post a log file that should help to identify the root of the problem.

Updated more logos this morning, see Logos v1.4.zip above for the latest.

See attachment for what I've done so far. Logos v1.4.zip

No, I made some of those myself. It's easy to find transparent png logos online and resize them for the MoviePosterApp using something like Paint.net or Gimp.

Instead of custom posters I've now decided to compile a folder with a selection of 1080×1920 movie-themed wallpapers to fill the screen. Only thing I had to tweak further was adding an outline to the banner text so that it was clearly legible for every screen. I think I like it. Edit: 1080×1920 wallpaper art can be found here: https://hdqwalls.com/1080x1920/movies-wallpapers/page/1

Here’s how it looks after bit of tweaking. I’d like to be able to either hide or center the bottom audio / AR / resolution icons to make it looks more symmetrical but haven’t found a way to do that yet. Custom posters (eg. RoboCop) are missing all bottom icons entirely. Looks more complete when everything is populated (eg. Doctor Strange). Unfortunately development on the MoviePosterApp seems to have halted for over a year and not sure if any updates will be coming any time soon.
