if we use the <visible>...substring(VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle), Boston Legal </visible> condition, then we will have to make a control for each tvshow ! That's insane !

For the picture of CSI, you didnt' use the magnetic tool ? it woul have done the job in 2 min, using the mask mod after.

And by the way, you can reduce the picture to 500x281, it will be easier to store it, and it has to be resized to these dimensions anyway.

Yeah I just wanted to see if I could actually get it to work ! I think you guys are right about it having to be implemented into xbmc itself.

Magnetic lasso would've worked great but something funny happens my photoshop when using it on a large image and using space+ L mouse
to navigate, I could've reduced it but wanted a big version in case I want to make a csi wallpaper Tongue

I'll make it smaller now anyways and edit my post.

I know, Thats because there isn't a command to grab the image, my xml have a control for each show, thats why I make a ticket but not for these, is for grab the currently playing tv show fanart for my other mod.

this is my DialogSeekbar.xml is missing some shows of course but is working, you would need to change the path and to remove the <texture=diffuse> part because theres no need for a mask with that image.

-----------
If i were you would try to move the code for where is suppose to be not at the end.

gallery updated !

Which ?, this one

Code:

<control type ="image">  

    <posx>950</posx>     

    <posy>-178</posy>    

    <width>330</width>     

    <height>185</height> 

    <texture diffuse="thumbs/movieposter_mask.png">cleararts/$INFO[VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle].png</texture> 

    <aspectratio align="right" aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>   

    <visible>VideoPlayer.Content(episodes)</visible>

</control>

if you can confirm this that would be great so I can add it to the first page xml code.

Yep this code works...

PHP Code:

<control type ="image">  
    <posx>950</posx>     
    <posy>-178</posy>    
    <width>330</width>     
    <height>185</height> 
    <texture diffuse="thumbs/movieposter_mask.png">cleararts/$INFO[VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle].png</texture> 
    <aspectratio align="right" aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>   
    <visible>VideoPlayer.Content(episodes)</visible>
</control> 

Here's two shows:

nice

Since the code works, I will need to rename all the clearArts so it can match the tv show title, except the last two(Psych and Monk)
