coverflow in actual version

does anybody know how to get this cool coverflow feeling (movie pictures flying by on the left side) in the actual version of plexconnect?

elan mentioned these tweaks here: http://elan.plexapp.com/2013/06/04/introducing-plexconnect-an-appletv-client-which-thinks-different/

They are not available in main build yet. They will eventually be included but not now.

Yes I know, but I thought somebody may know the files that have to be edited. :)

Same would like to know this, if its possible to use files from Elan's tweak with current version

You know if you follow the link he gave it shows you the exact lines in the exact files - it even highlights them for you.

If you do a bit of googling, you can even find out how to install the "fork" auto-magically. (or maybe you can even work it out without that, again just by following the link)

Just don’t ask for support if you have issues :wink:

Hey guys, I just installed the official PlexConnect and I see coverflow in some of the media (Films = yes, TV Shows = no). Is this normal?

You should see it in all of them.

There is an issue in 0.1 where it will not show if you have less than 5 items/series but if you update to the latest source it has been fixed.

I will ensure that I have a less than latest version and post this as resolved. Thanks as always f00b4r

I have the latest download and i have coverflow. I have found that it depends on the way you download the file. If you download it and the "js" files are not it a folder you wont get coverflow. If you download it and the "js" files are in their own folder you will have coverflow.  I have a mac. So if I just click on the download link I get no coverflow. If I right click the download link and save as zip I get coverflow.

What is a js file? And just to clarify, you are saying that if I go to the site to obtain the PlexConnect file, and right click it and save the download target versus just clicking it I should solve the coverflow problem?

js as in JavaScript.

What I find is that if you right click the download and save it as a zip and the extract the file you should be good.

Do this.

1 download file as zip

2 extract file.

3 click on assets file

4 if you have a "js" folder you are good to go .

the most important thing is to have the "js" folder.  If you dont see that folder and just see "js" files after going into assets you wont have the rolling poster art to the left.

I'm sorry I guess this isn't clicking for me. I don't know how to download and install PlexConnect differently than I am know. I got an up to date version tonight, and still the same mixed result. How can I show you guys what I have so that you can show me what is wrong?

I tried your link - It displays correctly as mentioned, however, when playing a movie (MKV), says "trailers is unavailable. Try again later"... Any idea here what needs to be done?
