[Release] MLBMC - a Major League Baseball (video) add-on

My wife is having an issue determining which feed to select... and it is because in Transparency! the 'List' view does not display enough characters to show the full station identification and if it is "Gameday Audio".... and it takes a little bit before it starts to scroll.

Is there an easy way that I can tell MLBMC that the feed selection screen should use a specific View mode? If I need to manually alter one of the files, just let me know which one and where so I can do it after each update.

I'm using Transparency as well. I haven't looked into defaulting the view to list rather than fanart. But my workaround for now is that I just press the left arrow and then manually change the view to list. Yes, you have to do this each time you open a game, but it's better than waiting for the name to scroll.

I am not home right now... but I may of said 'List' when I meant 'Fanart' (I would have to see what it defaults to) .... I can work with your solution.... but my wife is not a fan of doing the extra steps.

Another option may be if you can organize the feeds to look like:


May be a little easier to tell which one you want.

Code:

MLB.TV Video
New York Mets Coverage .....
Cincinnati Reds Coverage ....

Gameday Audio
New York Mets Coverage.....
Cincinnati Reds Coverage.....
etc...

Hi, there's not really a good way to do that(with a plugin). You can set the view mode by adding these two lines at the end of the mlbGame function in the default.py.
Change the leading .'s to spaces

Or swap your default.py with this one -> http://ubuntuone.com/31YwMpmndw2FnHfuWJyNyW

Maybe I should move the "Gameday Audio" to the front of the name? Something like

I tried your default.py... I tested with an archived game and the view did not change from 'fanart' .... will this only work for a live game? If so I will try later tonight.

Also, I was trying to figure out what view 'SetViewMode(52)' was, and if I could find a list of view modes to play with. I came across this thread : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=125083

Based on that thread, is there an easier way to do this with Eden?

As far as moving "GameDay Audio" to the front of the feed title.... that should solve my wife's issue.

Ignore my above comment.. I had the Transparency SVN skin on this laptop... I had to change to
and now the view changes.... Thanks.

Shouldn't matter if it's live or not. Let me retest, seemed to work for me. At first I set it to 51 witch changed it to "big list" then 52 changed to "full list".

Maybe I'll look for more documentation. It may have more to do with the way Transparency always defaults to "fanart".

Okay, will do.

Glad you got it working.

Just FYI, this seems to only be an issue with Transparency skin. Confluence is able to remember the last used view mode for this directory.

Before I added the 'svn', I noticed that Transparency appeared to do this also... maybe something ronie fixed in the svn version.

New feature request: If you go to mlb.tv and click on 'watch/listen', if you look at the 'expanded' grid it shows the logos of the head to head matchup.... is there any way to pull those down and use them in the 'Thumbnail' view?
