Help for a newbie - kitsunegari - 2011-10-14 Hi there, I'm new to XBMC, getting it set up at about 11pm last night. Had a reasonable time hunting around the menus, and I've read a lot of the wiki, but obviously I have a lot to do yet to get it set up! I'm torn between Confluence and something more minimalist - eg Neon, however a few questions here might help me stick with Confluence. Films
TV
Music
Think thats it for now, as I haven't had a lot of time to play about with it. TIA! - Jetster - 2011-10-14 Ive been using XBMC for about 4 month now. I agree with the TV and Music scrapers. But resist making any major changes yet and just get to know the program. Some of the Skins still are in Beta and have bugs. The program has a learning curve and you don't want to screw it up and have to reinstall. Which reminds me back up you library often. So when you reinstall you don't have to re scrape the whole thing - mad-max - 2011-10-14 Heyyyy and welcome... Quote:I've also seen some great looking screenshots where the selected film has info on the screen. Something like this: You can set a lighter background so that fanart is visible Quote:I cannot get the fan art "view" to work in TV.You have to edit the file for the view and must append to to visible-condition for "Container.Content()" the tvshows/seasons Quote:Visualisations Artist logo and the spinning cd can be disabled...just press "tab" while playing music Quote:Eg Dave Mustaine in full glory when highlighting the Megadeth top folder. Is that doable from this scraper or do I need a more indepth one? This is doable...it's simply scraping the artist info with a fanart...it should be displayed automatically if available hope this helps... cheers, mad-max - kitsunegari - 2011-10-15 Thanks for your input Max. How would I go about that music view, but with the fan art faded out almost completely (eg 20% opacity), as thats almost what I'm after! And i'm scraping using LastFM, but can't seem to get any fan art displayed for music. - mad-max - 2011-10-15 kitsunegari Wrote:How would I go about that music view, but with the fan art faded out almost completely (eg 20% opacity), as thats almost what I'm after! You might play a bit with the controls in 720p/MusicVisualization.xml There you can set fanart and everything else needed... If you need help, just gimme a hit... mad-max |
