And I have uncompressed media too (just to delete the CE2 2 logos, I like a clean interface)... maybe I should use the official .xbt too. thanks for the tip!

I relates to the Show Battlestar Galactica 2003 which I accidentally srcapped as Battlestar Galactica in the first place. Now I have the wrong logo and Banner and can`t figure out how to delete them. I already deleted logo.png and banner.jpg in the folder and replaced them with correct ones. I even deleted the show in xbmc, cleaned the library and updated the library. When I use the Artwork Downloader (Get artwork) and select a new Banner I still have the old banner.

What else could I do?

You can try to change the banner manuell in the series information with the button "Get thumb".

but for the logo just wait 48 hours. The wrong banner and logo is saved in the thumbnail folder from XBMC and will be reloaded after 24-48 h.

With "Get Thumb" I change the Poster but not the Banner.

Didn't know that with the reload after 48 hours, then I have to wait.

Yes, but it won't show if support for banner.jpg is enabled

Hello butcha,

I know you have very few time left for CE2 nowadays, but I've got an idea.

My favourite view has always been the Big poster view. its only default being that it leaves few space for fanart, specially when it brings the plot.

The new showcase view is really classy, though not very readable for my old eyes (disturbing rotation, posters too small, and big poster centered) but I like its base and construction.

So I had in mind to merge the 2 views, taking the showcase view xml as a basis and adapt Big poster view in it.
But I am so dumb in coding, I managed only to get the rotation effect to zero... only to notice that the straight posters had then not the same size. Really bad result!
When N.O.W.A.L.L tries to code = Image


I made a quick mockup of what would be my ideal view (maybe with option for DVD/BR cases it just makes the movies more appetizing in my opinion, but I know you dislike them).
Image

So basically all the down part of showcase view would remain the same, and in the upper part, philosophy would be the same but the selected movie would be aligned to left instead of centered and zoomed a bit more, other movies being on the right, simply straight and a bit bigger.
Would such a view be possible/donable not so hardly? It's not a request I know how much you are busy... just take it as my personal fantasy!

@Nowall
For someone that has done so much for this skin i'm sure i'll find a way to bring up this view. Btw, i don't see any mockup Smile maybe have to try later again ...
If i had enough time i could imagine to create a new skin with your help on creating the grafix part Smile never say never ... So if you have a nice concept Smile


- N.O.W.A.L.L - 2012-02-18

I reuploaded the mockup

spent the whole PM trying to understand how the showcase view xml works, my only 2 successes were
1) to have the movie title in orange
2) to get a huge headache.

So I give up, I like gfx as it's my job, but coding is no fun.
So if there is another coder here other than Butcha who has free time, it would be nice if (s)he could have a look at my idea

As for future skin, don't know if I have the time and energy for this.
I still have to finish a rocck band's booklet layout (90% done so far), then make their website, then maybe start the Tron Theme for Cirrus...

But I will at least work in my head to see if I can find a cool new concept.
A new thing I saw in Xperience1080 was a flip/flap animation in the bottom options. Would be cool to have a big poster that flips around to show the plot on its back, but that's pure science-fiction

Now i see the mockup, i think shouldn't be a real pain.
I see what i can do ...
Yeah xperience is nice, but not really customizable and lack of views.

Just drop it in: xbmc/addons/skin.cirrus extended v2/media/flagging/audio or audio new if you're using the orange flags.

I've downloaded your theme as well as the media files, copied them into the correct directory but it still doesn't show the DTS HD flag. Any ideas how to get them there?

I think the DTS HD Flag doesn't work in Cirrus so far.
