Rename poster.jgp to folder.jgp, that should fix it. You'll have to rescan everything though, If you don't select the thumbs manually.
coregis Wrote:My TV posters are showing up as vertically stretched banners. Movie posters are just fine.
I have posters by default checked in the TVDB.com settings, and I manually put a landscape.jpg and banner.jpg in each folder. There is also the poster.jpg file as well.
I then tried rebuilding the entire database by scratch, by erasing MyVideos.db and Textures.db from the userdata/databases folder, as well as the entire thumbs directory.
I still get the stretched banners.
Any ideas? Search finds one person with the same issue on another skin but no answers.
EDIT:
Ok, of course I figured it out.
I had "banner" images as my folder.jpg files from a previous scrape or something. Manually renaming a "poster" image to folder.jpg fixed it.

Is there another file to translate ?

Latest version for Camelot? - graunykho - 2010-08-15 11:51
Hi Amra,
First of all, thanks for your wonderful job with BIG Alaska. I cannot user another skin now that I have this one.
I am currently running XBMC 9.11. I've seen that you have posted a new version of the skin, but only for Dharma.
Are you planning to backport this latest release to Camelot? I can't wait for the latest changes you have implemented, and I don't really want to come back to git and compilations to see it live.
Many thanks!

Amra, could you give me some pointers to make submenus in home style 4 always visible? (so i don't have to click on down to see the submenu)
I've already modified the includes to always show the background image for the sub menus but it seems to me i have to modify the layout of the wraplist for the main menu. Am I correct?

regarding home style 4.
Is it possible to have seperate background images depending on section, if thshows is focused then 1 image, if movies are focused, then another etc ?
Can't seem to find out how, i can add a dir, but that will affect all sections ?
Otherwise, homestyle 4 is really nice !

Next (It sounds like you've already done this, but in case anyone else wants to), go about 10 or 11 lines down and find:

Code:
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(HomeClearOverlay) + ControlGroup(9001).HasFocus</visible>Code:
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(HomeClearOverlay)</visible>Code:
<visible>Container(300).HasFocus(1)</visible>Stop when you reach the "<!-- Clear Overlay Home Stats - Videos -->" section.
Let me know if that works.
[EDIT] It didn't.

I'll have to see how easy that would be since some of the new changes include code for Addons, etc. I'll get back to you...
@gekados
Thanks & I originally tried to do it that way (like Aeon) but was doing something wrong with the code to where there would not be a smooth transition of the fanart between menu items so I ended up going the easier route like I've done which I tend to personally like anyway.
Just for you, though, I can take another look at and if successful, post the changed files here.

change this to:Code:
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(HomeClearOverlay) + ControlGroup(9001).HasFocus</visible>
Now for what you asked, keep looking lower and in each submenu section you will find a line of code similar to this from the programs/addons submenu section:Code:
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(HomeClearOverlay)</visible>
Just delete this line to make the sumenu buttons always visible. The only thing that will change for each submenu section will be the "HasFocus() number.Code:
<visible>Container(300).HasFocus(1)</visible>
Stop when you reach the "<!-- Clear Overlay Home Stats - Videos -->" section.
Let me know if that works.
Nope, it doesn't work... if i do that when i press down i see all submenus at once, all on top of each others.
The fact that i don't understand is why i have to press down to show the submenus, since the visible condition is
Code:

Quote:The fact that i don't understand is why i have to press down to show the submenus, since the visible condition isI hate to say it but I'm not sure if I know how to do what you are asking.
it shoud be only necessary to have focused the first element of the container with id 300.... Am I right?Code:
<visible>Container(300).HasFocus(1)</visible>
I just figured out how to do the submenus the way I did (still learning so I'm happy I got that far). Perhaps someone else who may be reading this can chime in with a solution.
