REQ: movie year added to info/seekbar? - Sneeka - 2009-11-24

Fantastic skin, but a very minor request - would it be possible to have the year of the movie added after the title on the info/seekbar - and only for when playing movies?

ie. 'Jurassic Park' shows as 'Jurassic Park (1993)'

Either that or if someone can tell me which file I need to edit and where to change. With my non-skills I have managed to change it, but now it shows the year no matter what video I play (tv shows as well) - I just want it for movies Confused

(DialogFullScreenInfo.xml) my change in bold:

Code:
<control type="label">

        <posx>0</posx>

        <posy>30</posy>

        <width>870</width>

        <height>25</height>

        <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title] [b]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Year,(,)][/b]</label>

        <scroll>true</scroll>

        <align>left</align>

        <aligny>center</aligny>

        <font>font24caps_title</font>

        <textcolor>white</textcolor>

        <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>

</control>

Many Thanks Smile

Typical, I ask a question and then figure it out myself :p

Not sure if this is the best way of doing it, but I just added another control and used visible tags.

Code:
<control type="label">

        <posx>0</posx>

        <posy>30</posy>

        <width>870</width>

        <height>25</height>

        <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]</label>

        <scroll>true</scroll>

        <align>left</align>

        <aligny>center</aligny>

        <font>font24caps_title</font>

        <textcolor>white</textcolor>

        <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>

        [b]<visible>VideoPlayer.Content(Episodes)</visible>[/b]

</control>

[b]<control type="label">

        <posx>0</posx>

        <posy>30</posy>

        <width>870</width>

        <height>25</height>

        <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title] $INFO[VideoPlayer.Year,(,)]</label>

        <scroll>true</scroll>

        <align>left</align>

        <aligny>center</aligny>

        <font>font24caps_title</font>

        <textcolor>white</textcolor>

        <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>

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

</control>[/b]

Seems to work okay anyway Huh

I would also love to see the movie year return in a parenthetical after the title on the playback info.

Often times while watching a movie, friend will ask "What year did this movie come out?"

It's nice to hit "i" and have the answer.

Cheers!

You can use my edit if you like - I also added some other bits to the pane..

Download here and drop into the Confluence '720p' folder.

Cheers for the changes. I only moved the TV show title down a bit because it was overlapping for some reason on my setup. I set changed the y position to: <posy>52</posy> for anyone looking.

Thanks! - akbr - 2009-12-14
