nope it's not in v1.03. i've only been bug-hunting since v1.00.
but i'm sure it's still somewhere on my 30-something list of things to do.

cotdagoo Wrote:if not, could you let me know where to find & re-add the wide icon views for 'videos' when using filemode?

ViewsFileMode.xml, line 2053 change:
<visible>Container.Content(TVShows) | [Window.IsVisible(VideoFiles) + Container.Content(TVShows)]</visible>
to:
<visible>Container.Content(TVShows) | [Window.IsVisible(VideoFiles) + Container.Content(TVShows)] | [Window.IsVisible(VideoFiles) + Container.Content(Movies)]</visible>

thonton Wrote:little clearart problem for tv-shows, clearart will not be shown. it took me an hour or something to find out, what happend.
i have a clearart in path: d:\serien\start trek enterprise\clearart.png

in the libary (from tvdb) the tv-show is known as: "Star Trek: Enterprise"

so i get an error, while the skin tries to load the clearart:

Code:
00:56:20 T:4040 M:1320841216   ERROR: PICTURE: Error loading image D:\Serien\Star Trek: Enterprise/clearart.png

the code is:
Code:
$INFO[Skin.String(TVShows_Folder_Path)]$INFO[VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle]/clearart.png
in DialogFullScreenInfo.xml

any chance to get this work properly for tv-shows with these special characters?
(i made a workaround, so i renamed the tvshow in libary to "Star Trek Enterprise" without the ":")

the other option is to rename the folder on your harddisk to d:\serien\start trek: enterprise\
but windows probably doesn't allow that (linux does).
other than that, i don't see any way.

msg: PICTURE::LoadImage: Unable to open image: G:\Music\Albums\Dance / Dance/Gorillaz/Demon Days/cdart.png Error: (3)

even though xbmc displays my genres in the genre-list as

Dance
Funk
Hip Hop
Pop
Reggae
Rock

its got them stored as

Dance / Dance
Funk / Funk
Hip Hop / Hip Hop
Pop / Pop
Reggae / Reggae
Rock / Rock

So it gets an incorrect path

looks very unlikely to me. there must be something else going wrong i think.
i tried it myself and this is what i get:
msg: PICTURE::LoadImage: Unable to open image: smb://xbmc/xbmc-1/Music/Alternative/Radiohead/Com Lag/cdart.png Error: (0)

so it really lists the genre just once.

are you sure you set the path to G:\Music\Albums\ and not to G:\Music\Albums\Dance ??

Ronie, it might just be a matter of taste but personally I find the next.wav and back.wav sounds to be... kind of intrusive. I much prefer the ones in Mediastream.

The ones you chose are too "loud", maybe?

All this said in the most respectful way possible. For now I've changed them with the ones in Mediastream but I thought I might mention this. Maybe I'm not alone, maybe I am. Smile

Cheers.

i could lower the volume a bit...
but i certainly won't be copying any files from other skins to Transparency!.

as with everything, if someone thinks they can come up with a better sound-scheme, i'm all ears. ;-)

Hey Ronie just gets better and better! Thanks man! I keep finding new things and going WOW! Since when can you watch trailers if available?!? Its awesome.Shocked

Small question how do I rename favorites? in the home screen banner? I've done it once before in The Operation but can't really remember how? I'm a bit of a noviceBlush I'd like to call it Music videos and put all my music videos/dvds in one easy place.
Thank in advance

in Home.xml, replace every occurrence of:
<label>1036</label>
with
<label>20389</label>

Thanks I'll give it a try! So just change the numbers?

Easy when you know how! Even I managed! Thanks

if i highlight an album and press the i button on my remote i get the info screen pop up and under the genre tag it says "Dance / Dance" yet when i select genre-list in music library it only shows "Dance"

definatley somthing to do with the way xbmc seems to have stored my genres

i can get cdart.png to work for some albums but not all.

my folder structure is:
F:\Music\50 Cent\Get Rich Or Die Tryin\cdart.png (this case it doesnt work)

F:\Music\The Game\The Documentary\cdart.png (here it works)

Is there a character string or something that might cause it not to work, such as file size for example? In the 50 Cent example, the default one works fine and I created the cdart.png with the same settings in PS so it should work...is there something I could possibly be missing?
