ronie Wrote:Work in progress...
Currently trying out some of the requests that are still on my to-do list.
- fanart view for now playing (see below)
- get rid of the neon green color theme
- drop the square corners
- change the font
nothing's definite, so it's likely to change before release.
but you know, all input is appreciated.

It's very nice... but how do you enable the fanart for music?

Question:
In music there is the Library button but is gray?
why is it there? I can have a music library? how?
[edit: found the scan items to library....]

If you want my honest opinion of the your screen shot, I think its pretty terrible. I'm looking for something very sleek, that font is almost gothic, how about something more modern?
And as for the blue, definatly a good choice but I think that shade is too dark and two plain, is that one of the 16 bit colours? eww

which is the meaning of the media flags?
I have:
480 - is the size...
MPEG4 - what is this? the video is an AVI MP4 without audio
DVD Offline - correct from the name
DVD - why is repeated?
thanks
MPEG4 is the video codec
DVD is the source (source can be DVD, HDDVD, Blu-Ray, HDTV, SDTV)
mfsav2 Wrote:It's very nice... but how do you enable the fanart for music?
this will only work if your music direcory structure is Music/Artist/Album with a fanart.jpg image in the artist folder.
so like this:
Music/Artist1/Album1/Songs
Music/Artist1/Album2/Songs
Music/Artist1/fanart.jpg

I expcted offline DVD to be the source... why I have even DVD? is it normal or a mistake in the code I put
[EDIT]: Found my mistake... correct line is:
<control type="image" id="5085">
<include>MovieMediaflagsVars</include>
<texture>flags/movies/source/dvd.png</texture>
<visible>substring(listitem.filename,sddvd) | substring(listitem.filename,.ifo) | substring(listitem.filename,.vob) | [[!substring(listitem.filename,hddvd) + !substring(listitem.filename,bluray) + !substring(listitem.filename,offdvd)] + [substring(listitem.filename,.iso) | substring(listitem.filename,.img) | substring(listitem.filename,.avi) | substring(listitem.filename,.mkv) | substring(listitem.filename,.mov) | substring(listitem.filename,.mpg) | substring(listitem.filename,.mpeg) | substring(listitem.filename,.ts) | substring(listitem.filename,.wmv)] + ![substring(listitem.studio,720) | substring(listitem.studio,1080) | substring(ListItem.VideoResolution,720) | substring(ListItem.VideoResolution,1080)]]</visible>
</control>
Otherwise offdvd is read as dvd

Harg!
my music is a mess!
I will have to re sort all of it.
This means that you cannot have multiple fanart? or different fanart for the album?

Wow...
I said it was nice... but you dissected it!!!!
On the font: it's strange as is a bastoni type but gives the idea of gotic...
I could agree a more "linear" type could help readability.
For the rest: it was a first mockup

no worries about the font, it was the first one i tried. after trying another 105 fonts, i've found the perfect one.
messing with some lighter shades of blue is next on the list.

ronie Wrote:i've seen some similar reports with other skins who are using this feature.
could you do me a favour and test it with this Home.xml file?
please report back if it fixes it.
Seems to be slighty better, but still some lag. The worst bit is from reboot youv got to wait about 1 min on the homescreen befrore you can do anything. (this was the same with the last home.xml and the new one.)
i believe nuka has relased another version of the plugin to speed up music database searching which could well be the problem, however i have no idea how to find this new version, as theres now links in the thread

Why does the trailers button now say "Apple Trailers" which doesn't fit in large font mode.
I worked out how to change its name in home.xml but am also trying to change the name of the videos button, how do I do that?
The new recently played dialouge also isn't great with large fonts enabled, the text overlaps slightly.
