willyt Wrote:Hey! So I tweaked TVTunes to play the Blu-Ray menu music for my Movies Library when I flip through them... and it changes music as soon as I move to a different title. Unfortunately, I have another idea, and am currently trying to make it work... but with zero Python experience... I think I'm stuck. I'm trying to have it play the Blu-Ray video menu background video file, and I successfully got it to play as a background for XBMC... but that takes up the whole screen and takes me out of the movie menu. I'd like to simply have it play in the "Picture-In-Picture" mode in the skin, like a mini-movie pops up. Hope that makes some sense at least. Anyway, I thought it was a cool idea and that someone maybe would want to integrate that into TVTunes... or maybe suggest how to do it in Python? All I need is to add the silly video window in the skin.

Thanks!
the start a video in a small window, instead of fullscreen,
you need to add ',1' to the play media command:
Quote:PlayMedia(media[,isdir][,1],[playoffset=xx]) Plays the media. This can be a playlist, music, or video file, directory, plugin or an Url. The optional parameter ",isdir" can be used for playing a directory. ",1" will start a video in a preview window, instead of fullscreen. If media is a playlist, you can use playoffset=xx where xx is the position to start playback from.

to add a video window to the skin, you need to add a videowindow control:
Code:
<control type="videowindow">
    <posx>100</posx>
    <posy>100</posy>
    <width>160</width>
    <height>90</height>
</control>

Please help. How do I use it? It hasn't downloaded any themes.

@willyt - how do you get the music to play for movies. Is it a simple fix?

so start by reading the first post...

v1.0.11 is now in the pre-eden addon repo.
the script now has an option to store tv tunes in a custom folder.

note: as of now, it is a program addon instead of a video addon!

I did, but how do I sesarch with it? All I can do is configure, uninstall or deacivate. It doesn't start any search.

Sorry, but when I click on it I come to the info page where I have the options I wrote in my last post.
