How to hide Song Pop-Up between songs? - Berz - 2010-07-31 I often use my xbmc when I have guests over to play music in the background to set the mood. A small annoyance in those occasions is the song pop-up window that shows between songs and pulls all eyes to my TV-set for a couple of seconds. Does anyone know how I can disable this pop-up when playing music? - jmarshall - 2010-08-01 See advancedsettings.xml - you can set it the duration to 0 to stop it popping up. The alternative is to keep it on all the time. - Blackbolt - 2010-08-01 Cheers for your help jmarshall. - Berz - 2010-08-01 Hi again, Prior to my post I ran throught the following link: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Advancedsettings.xml But the only option I could think of there was <songinfoduration> but as it states: "The valid range is "1" to "Indefinite (0)", in seconds" So the value "0" will just leave the pop-up on at all time. I've also tried setting the value to -1 and others, but no value will disable the song information pop-up. Are you hinting at some other parameter in the Advancedsettings.xml that I'm not aware of, jmarshall? - Blackbolt - 2010-08-01 Unless you're referring to a bug with our skin maybe where the song info doesn't hide. That will be fixed in 1.2. - Berz - 2010-08-01 Well, I don't see it as a bug since the Wiki of advancedsettings.xml clearly describes what the parameter I mentioned earlier does AND it does exactly that. It just don't support hiding/disabling of the pop-up as I see it. That's what I'm asking here - if there is another way to disable the pop-up (like a setting somewhere)? Either in Elipsis or in XBMC itself. - jmarshall - 2010-08-01 Remove the info from the skin altogether is an easy way to do it. - Berz - 2010-08-02 Hmm.. okay.. Anyone that knows what skin-file(s) I should remove? - Waffa - 2010-08-02 Open.. Ellipsis/720p/MusicVisualisation.xml Out comment line 16 to 118 <!-- ......--> You can also make or request for a skin setting to toggle on/off musicinfo in visualisation. - Berz - 2010-08-03 Thanks for the input Waffa. It worked as it should, but I see now that this method is a little to effective since it removes the pop-up from ever showing - even if you want to see what's playing. I've found that the best solution at the time is to set the timeout to a couple of seconds in Advancedsettings.xml. I'll look forward to the Ellipsis version 1.2 and test this then - Waffa - 2010-08-03 Yep very effective Skinsetting is the best way. Open.. Ellipsis/720p/MusicVisualisation.xml Change line 18 <visible>Player.ShowInfo</visible> into: <visible>Player.ShowInfo + !Skin.HasSetting(Hide_MusicInfo_Visualisation)</visible> And open.....Ellipsis/720p/custom_SkinSetting.xml Add this code under radiobutton 104. line 265 PHP Code: <control type="radiobutton" id="114"> Now you can switch your info on/off in your general skinsettings. - joebrady - 2010-08-03 I thought we could just toggle it with a key press between, always on, always off, and "pop-up". - Waffa - 2010-08-03 That was my thought 2, but it pops up when new song begins. - Berz - 2010-08-04 I tried your alternative method, Waffa, but for the life of me, I couldn't see this new option in any of the skin settings menus. The name "Hide Music info in Visualisation" isn't showing anywhere. I did exactly as you noted. I even checked the xbmc.log to see if any warnings/errors was logged. But nothing. Did you try this yourself? In any case, don't use more of your time on this "problem". And thanks again for your effort - Waffa - 2010-08-04 Yep and setting should be in general under hide fanart. |
