mstef Wrote:Jeroen, I find problem with showing album covers in list view. For example I have few albums: album1, album2, album3. album2 has no cover. Now I select album1 - cover is shown, album2 show no cover, and now select album3 and for a while I see album1 cover before album3 cover is loaded. I see this bahavior also when browse songs.

jalesm Wrote:The "show recently added and played video" toggle setting isn't working. I checked HomeSubMenu.xml and it looks like the recently added episodes and movies don't have the visibility condition: "Skin.HasSetting(homemenuRecentVideo)"

Kolabor Wrote:Is it only me or turning volume down and muting doesn't work on Dharma beta 4 and reFocus 0.8.9.1 while playing video? It works when in GUI. Anyone else has it too?

mstef Wrote:Is there any button handled to have view cycle switch? so I go into movies and by pressing some button on remote I switch views one by one: list, slide, thumbnail, gallery, etc? How to do that?

starcitysecrets Wrote:hey jeroen, unfortunately no luck there, I made a small video for you to show the problem im having. I'm starting to think its something to do with retrieving the video add on data as watching a video and coming back sets the views back to the chosen whilst retrieving data automatically sets it to list.

in apple movie trailers for instance, they only update every so often (weekly maybe) so when i choose trailers, the view is thumbnails, which i have chosen, but when it updates during the week, it'll go back to list view till i watch a trailer or manually set it back to thumbnail.

heres the video to show you whats happening my end. really sorry about the 90 degree angle, but you'll get the idea of what im talking about.

LinarSavion Wrote:Hello,
First let me say that i love your skin, very nice and sleek.

I have two problems with the skin,
One is the homescreen backgrounds, is it possible to make different background-sets for each category? (like videos, music, pictures, weather)

If this cant be done in the skin can you point me to the XML i need to edit?

Quote:The second issue is fanarts, i cant see any of them.
ive seen pictures of the skin and in all of them i see the fanart dimmed in the background, i cant get this to work at my setup...

Any help would be appreciated!

Jeroen Wrote:Cheers, I'll have a look into reproducing.

Jeroen Wrote:I tried to reproduce this, and this happens for me too. Not always though, and only for a fraction of a second. Does this always happen for you?
I suspect it may have to do with the fade transition on the cover image. I suppose when I select the next cover quickly after the one before it's still processing the fade animation but the next cover is selected before the animation has finished.

Could you try opening includesAnimations.xml, and on line 5 lower the numeric value at:

PHP Code:

<include name="thumbFadeTime">
    <fadetime>300</fadetime>
</include> 


And see if it happens less (or not at all) for you then?

Jeroen Wrote:You could try to open myvideonav.xml and change this line on line 4:

<views>50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,571,511,574</views>

to:

<views>574,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,571,511</views>

(574 is the thumbnail view, 50 is the list view, putting 574 at the beginning would load the thumbnail view first I believe)

Jeroen Wrote:The transparency is in the background image itself, not determined by xml. Easiest way to adjust would be turning down the opacity of the default background image, it's located in the backgrounds folder.

mstef Wrote:Yes, I have this always and same as you of the fractions of second, but I also have this even I set fadetime to 0. I suppose you have to clear cover cover place if there is nothing to show, not just hide it; check condition, maybe you show it before you load the cover

mstef Wrote:574 is for music only, for video thumbnails is 57 (large grid) and 571 (small grid)

OK I find, 572 is thumbinal for music

mstef Wrote:OK, here you are. I create a keymap to get change view by pressing a button on remote or keyboard. As I don't use teletext I use this four colour buttons to go into specific view and I use teletext button to view cycle. Colour buttons I use only in video library, music library and pictures. In other dialogs works only teletext switch to cycle views. If you want you can modify this as you want.

So how to get specific view:

list - remote red or keyboard 1
thumbnails - remote green or keyboard 2
slide poster or cover - remote yellow or keyboard 3 (video & music only)
slide fanart - remote blue or keyboard 4 (video only)
thumbail small grid - keyboard 5 (video only)
gallery - keyboard 6 (video & pictures only)
gallery fullscreen - keyboard 7 (video & pictures only)

cycle views - remote teletext or keyboard 0

Here is my keymap for reFocus (for other skins you should modify the containers id's). Put it in the userdata\keymaps folder and restart xbmc. I tested it on my keyboard and asrock 330ht with remote.

Thanks to Hitcher who give me a clue. Jeroen, if you think it is important to your job get and put this file into safe place, because I don't know how log I'll be host it.

smcnally75 Wrote:Worked great, thanks! It's been so long since I've played with skins that I wasn't aware the graphics were so easily available now.

starcitysecrets Wrote:Two suggestions, is it possible to have a toggle to use video source flags (bluray, dvd, r5) instead of video codecs (h.264, xvid)?

Quote:and within dharma, it is possible to change the settings so that when you select a movie or tv episode, it brings up the info screen instead of playing the video. could we have something that allows refocus to play the movie/episode from within the info screen without having to go into the left menu. heres a rough idea for something that could work.

Jeroen Wrote:Well, that's the thing. I'm not hiding anything, It just displays whatever cover is there for an album, and if there's no cover available it will just show nothing. I'm probably going to have to take this up with the XBMC devs.
