[MOD] Title Bar and Anoobies Trailer Mod (New Multiplex) - jsm00thie - 2009-06-06

I was really missing 2 things from the old multiplex. Big title bar (can't get used to looking at bottom) and Anoobie's trailer mod. Since Anoobie is busy, I decided to figure out how to do it. Skinning is strangely addicting and frustrating. (Miss one bracket symbol and nothing works. LOL)

06.07 - Small update, added drop shadow to title text and resized tv episode text. Also fixed bug where plot will not appear if movie did not have trailer.
06.07 - This pack now works with the latest Auriga update(ver. 2.11 - the one with the static multiplex backdrop option.)
06.11 - Added back in watched flags for movies and TV

Download (No media flags version) (Unpack into your Aeon directory overwriting existing files. Be sure to back up your old ones.)


06.11 - Added additional media flags:

Closed Caption (SUB in Studio Tag)
MPAA rating (Rated G, Rated PG, Rated PG-13, Rated R, Rated NC in MPAA Tag)
Aspect Ratio (1.33, 1.66, 1.78, 1.85, 2.35, 2.39 in Studio Tag)

(Note: The tag code is in Viewtype_Multiplex.xml and not Includes_MediaFlags.xml as I didn't want to include a Includes_MediaFlags.xml in this download and mess up everyone's other media flags. It's also tied in with the flags on/off setting. If off it will disappear with all other tags and show default text info.)

Download (Additional media flags version) (Unpack into your Aeon directory overwriting existing files. Be sure to back up your old ones.)

I had a few people ask me how I have two different posters showing for one movie. In order to make this work, you will need 2 posters in your movie folder.

movie.tbn will be used for the thumbnail at the bottom row of movies and the info screen.

I use folder.jpg as my other display poster which will fade to plot.

Look for this block of code in Viewtype_Multiplex.xml:

Code:
<width>236</width>
<height>350</height>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<fadetime>400</fadetime>
<!--<visible>!Control.IsVisible(33)</visible>-->
<texture diffuse="list/list_movieicon_mask.png">$INFO[listitem.thumb]</texture>

and replace with this:

Code:
<width>236</width>
<height>350</height>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<fadetime>400</fadetime>
<!--<visible>!Control.IsVisible(33)</visible>-->
<texture diffuse="list/list_movieicon_mask.png">$INFO[listitem.path]/folder.jpg</texture>

(Like you already have, but with your extended bar)

Love it, I'am interested in the tv section with Thin Panel so you can see more of the fanart


- Leeuw - 2009-06-06

Looks great, I would definitely be interested in adding this when you are done!


- Killer Rabbit - 2009-06-06

This looks fantastic.

I can't wait.


- reaven - 2009-06-06

looking at the TV shows screens why the variation in the title placement ? or are those mockups?

love the mediaflags on the Band of Brothers with the title placement of House along with the episode name in the upper bar, I would prefer a taller title bar so the title can fit inside even the way it is there looks cool I dont know how will looks with a white backdrop.

But great...


- DuMbGuM - 2009-06-06

Thanks yup the titles on the pictures are mockups I made from screenshots. I've been looking for someone to code it or something similar like the op has in this thread, because the top of the new Multiplex window looks too bare, who knows maybe djh plans to implement something into MK2 final.

I didn't know if the coder would be able to put a shadow behind the text or not, if not then the title would have to be inside the bar to avoid clashing with white backdrops like you said.

The thumbnail size is actually too large on the TV view I think, so that could just be reduced in height to fit a title like the Band of Brothers one .

I updated the original post with the download link.


- DuMbGuM - 2009-06-06

Real nice work man, I'll try it out soon.


- reaven - 2009-06-06

Love it, I will try it soon too.


- reaven - 2009-06-06

if its not too much to ask, can you post or send me the multiplextv_tablet2.psd images so I can lower the opacity to my taste.


"t" to start trailer? - Kingmartinus - 2009-06-06

First off all: Great skin! and Mod

Could anybody please show me how to change the command witch start the trailer.. I would like mine too start when I push "T" instead of "ondown" but i cant seem to figure this out in the xml file.
Maybe just post me a screenie of how the code looks like to make it start with "T"

Thanks

Martin


- reaven - 2009-06-06

is something between this
Code:
<ondown>PlayMedia($INFO[ListItem.Trailer],1)</ondown>

and this
Code:
<control type="button" id="197">
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>0</width>
            <height>0</height>
            <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
            <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
            <onleft>52</onleft>
            <onright>52</onright>
            <onup>52</onup>
            <ondown>52</ondown>
        </control>

to change am not sure i just read the xml and the xbmc wiki and am not using this feature, so you could do the same.

You sould be able to edit the .png file as transparencies get saved. Here's something I just tested with the multiplextv_tablet2.png file.
