Sranshaft Wrote:Have you considered using a border size? This way when it resizes the image, it'll keep the border the same size and only resize the interior of the image. You'd utilize it by using something like this:

Code:
<texture border="5">mytexture.png</texture>

You can change out border="5" with border="[align=left], [align=right], [top], [bottom]".

I'm pretty sure I'm using that Smile Actually it would be

<bordertexture border="5">mytexture.png</bordertexture>
and the need to set <bordersize>5</bordersize>

Otherwise the border would not be able to scale at all. But my border coordinates are probably not the way they should be. So I'm sure I'll be able to improve it. But then there's still the problem that you cannot set the same border coordinates for the diffuse texture.

Anyway, Another problem of keeping the aspectratio is that there's no good way of using an unwatched overlay and keep it in the same place. The only way to do that is to set the alignment to bottom, so that is always in the same spot. Unfortunately that would mean no full size posters for movies, but I'm afraid that's just a compromise I'm going to have to make. Or maybe I'll file a trac ticket Wink

I confirm that reFocus works excellent on XBOX with a CRT 4:3 letterbox! Nice and clean as I want it to be, and I can actually see the letters without having to lean forward! Keep it up the good work Jeroen!

Hi Medik, that's nice to hear considering I didn't take it into account at all Smile Seems the less I think about it, the better the compatibility gets Rofl

In movie library, gallery view, there's no info if a movie collection, just a dot. Maybe add something like "3 movies" or "3 movies/2 unwatched" ?

So that's the "moviesets" thing right? I just read about xbmc having this feature recently. You create moviesets by providing a line in the .nfo right?

I'll have to look into what's needed for this and then I'll add support in 0.8.2.

Thanks,
Jeroen


- Galefury - 2010-06-25

Indeed, is the moviesets thing and is made by adding a line (or 2 if you need so sort them differently) in .nfo file. Sadly, this is the only way I know to do it. Is a great way to unclutter the movie library. Details about moviesets here.

If anyone want to see it in action I've uploaded a (very) short demo of the skin. Doesn't cover all the views just the ones I'm using.

I noticed two issues while making the vid.

One, it didn't load an image to go with the reFocus welcome. I hadn't seen this one before so not sure if you know what could have caused it. Sad because those pictures are lovely!

Second, it's showing a fairly hideously deformed thumbnail image for me when I'm in a TV show view but not focused on one of the seasons. This should show a cover as well.

Ember Media Manager has a Set-Manager, which could also do that for you.

@nickritus: nice job. So the pictures on startup used to work and now they don't?
That's really odd. Are you using 0.8.1?
I'll have to check the other things when I get home.

Jeroen Wrote:I consider myself pretty anal Smile So that one bugs me a bit too, but it all comes down to a compromise. I want all the posters to have the same dimensions, and because there is no real dimensions standard as far as the scrapers are concerned then some cutting is inevitable. Unless I set it to stretch, but given the choice I would rather have some cutting than distorted images. The cutting isn't cause by the diffuse in any case.


Thanks Smile

Jeroen hope you don't mind but I had a little play with posters in slide view as I mentioned the other day I noticed some of mine mine where clipped

The closest I could get to yours was to size almost to aspect but slightly wide not to much so you notice and then use stretch instead of scale of course theres a slight increase in poster size

- Jeroen - 2010-06-25

No I don't mind at all. Like I said I'm not very keen on stretching but I'll admit those seem to have come out nicely. What dimensions did you use?


- &gt;&gt;X&lt;&lt; - 2010-06-25

Although I used stretch the dimensions are only out of aspect by about 3 pixels in width assuming posters start out as 1000x1500 so if you switched back to scale you would probably only lose a pixel of the top and bottom

Mines below if you want the dimensions not sure if I did anything wrong I'm not a skinner lol I didn't move the unwatched overlay either

Jeroen, it's me again. If I would want to change the unplayed overlay to changed I am hoping it's a simple change of a variable however where would I find this (aka which file).

The reason is both me and my GF are having trouble adjusting to your unwatched overlay and would like to customize it back to show watched status (WAF beeing the most important factor).

Thx for any help.

I like it, I'm going to adjust the view. Thanks Smile

All you need to do is place an image file called OverlayWatched.png in the media folder. If you only want an indication for watched items then create a blank (transparent) image called OverlayUnwatched.png in there and it should override the current image.

Here's an OverlayWatched.png I threw together you can use or use a base if you don't like it:
