Party Mode track info? - nbaker0 - 2012-05-06 14:08

Hi,

Just started using party mode which I think is great, but is there anyway to enable the track info to show all the time over the visulization?

Many thanks

Nige.

The file that needs editing is MusicVisualisation.xml. In the Confluence (and vertical Confluence) skin, edit line 16:

From:

Code:

<visible>[Player.ShowInfo | Window.IsActive(MusicOSD)] + ![Window.IsVisible(AddonSettings) | Window.IsVisible(SelectDialog) | Window.IsVisible(VisualisationPresetList)]</visible>

To:

Code:

<visible>![Window.IsVisible(AddonSettings) | Window.IsVisible(SelectDialog) | Window.IsVisible(VisualisationPresetList)]</visible>

It is better to leave the original code in place, and comment it out, with an added line below. Change line 16 to the following:

Code:

<!--visible>[Player.ShowInfo | Window.IsActive(MusicOSD)] + ![Window.IsVisible(AddonSettings) | Window.IsVisible(SelectDialog) | Window.IsVisible(VisualisationPresetList)]</visible-->

<visible>![Window.IsVisible(AddonSettings) | Window.IsVisible(SelectDialog) | Window.IsVisible(VisualisationPresetList)]</visible>

Many thanks for your reply Smile

At the moment I am using the Aeon Nox skin, will this work with this skin?

Regards

Nige.

Thank you sho; I'm sure I had tried that setting in Camelot, and it wouldn't work, hence the skin edit. I continued with the edits through Dharma to Eden. I have just tried the advancedsettings setting in Eden, and it works as it should.

This has worked for me since the dawn of time (or XBMC... whatever) and is skin agnostic.

I tried sho's suggestion but this did not work for me, coverart showed for around 5 mins then trackinfo for default 10 seconds even though I set it to "0" Indefinite.

Would also like to disable the coverart from showing for the first 5 mins if this is possible?

Any ideas ?

This is how my advancedsettings.xml file looks, have I missed anything?

I have tried different times but still doesn't make any difference Sad

RE: Party Mode track info? - dnairb - 2012-05-09 01:01

I have just tried this again with a clean skin, having deleted the guisettings.xml file, and I don't know what value to give.
As I said in an earlier post above I could not get this to work, hence the skin edits.
sho - what value do you use?

I checked my advancedsettings from the Live environment yesterday and it seems I at some time swtiched to 10 sec.
If this is not working (0) I suggest you submit a ticket track since it's a bug (regression). If I remember I will test tonight.
