Display comments during photo slideshow - bodozer - 2014-04-17

Hi team, finally I manage to get it to work after lot of try-and-error.
Can't find that much on the forum, and I need some more info...

I've installed the skin Aeon Nox and ThePictureDB and edited the file
%appdata%\XBMC\addons\skin.aeon.nox\1080i\SlideShow.xml

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<window>
    <defaultcontrol>2</defaultcontrol>
    <controls>
        <control type="label">
            <description>Picture comment</description>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>1000</posy>
            <width>1920</width>
            <height>35</height>
            <align>center</align>
            <aligny>center</aligny>
            <font>font10</font>
            <textcolor>white</textcolor>
            <label>$INFO[slideshow.caption]</label>
        </control>
    </controls>
</window>


I would like to use confluence instead - can I make it work there as well? - I can't find same mapstructure for confluence...

The keyword in my case was: slideshow.caption - english isn't my native languange so, that was not obvious for me.
Where can I find these variables?
And how I can modify the text - color, shadow, font and so on?

best regards,
Bodozer

Sorry, I don't get it.

Well, when pressing 'o' I can display the some EXIF data for a Picture. This works regardless of skin.

I also have managed to display some EXIF tags during slideshow of photos.
Thats works in the Aeon Nox skin after I have creatade the slideshow.xml file (se above).
I also managed to manipulate font size, colors and alter exif tags.
(But native characters is problem though...)

1) But where shall I place the slideshow.xml file when I use the Confluence skin?
There is no matching map like skin.confluence under addons...
I've created ...\addons\skin.confluence\1080i folder whitout success, I also tested 720p folder too.

2) Next problem: How can I make the native characters like å,ä,ö to be displayed?
ändamål will be displayed ndaml, this happends now and than in other places in XBMC.
I've been testing different settings like encoding="utf-8") without success...
I also changed character set in System / International in XBMC without see any differneces.

btw. In the threads above, there is no info where to place slideshow.xml file.
I haven't the modded confluence skin.

best regards
Bodozer
