I moded this for my needs. I love taglines, but I hate badly written plot outlines from imdb, so I replaced them with poster by combining Hitcher's Multiplex Large Poster in Plot view mod.

I use movie.tbn as poster, because I use bluray/hddvd covesrs as thumbs.
Slideshow images load from extrathumbs folder.
I wanted the poster be as large as possible, so in other layouts than plot (that doesn't show plot anymore ) you can see poster peeking under slideshow or fanart images. That's is easy to fix by making poster little bit smaller, but this is only view I use, so I don't care.
I also fixed the multiplex view for tv-shows.

Here's the download link for my Viewtype_Multiplex file if someone is interested:
Download
from MediaFire

Of course you need also anoobie's Font.xml file.

very nice view, but i didnt get it to work yet, the posters are not displayed but i will
try to figure it out.
thanks for it.

Do you have your movies in folders and your posters named movie.tbn?

yes, the movie.tbn that were exported from the libary.
But no posters still.
Maybe it's because of some mods i have installed?
Somebody else having this problem?
If you want open a new thread for your mod.
Many users might want this.

aaah, now i realized that my tbn files are named different.
Xbmc exports them to "filename.tbn"
Maybe you can change that or is there an easy way to rename these files all at one to movie.tbn?

If you find:

Code:

<texture>$INFO[listitem.path]movie.tbn</texture>

and replace it with:

Code:

<texture>$INFO[listitem.thumb]</texture>

it should show your posters (in fact it will show your cached thumbs I think)

yes, this did the job.
Great, it's my favorite multiplex view now.
Well done. Thanks alot for your fine work.

Nice !

Could you post the MOD, please?

I would really like to use it and then replace the synopsis on the right with a large poster instead Smile

Anoobie your layout is totally different to others i have seen, i really like it, any chance you could share with the rest of us?

The often big gap between tagline and video window annoyed me so I moved it up a bit.

Just thought I would post it here incase there is anyone else like me that wants this and is a bit of an xml noob. It took me about an hour to work out which bits of code to change Frown
