QUARTZ - support thread

So why does 2nd log line say something different?

Pecinko,

is there a way to display fanart in file mode?

For example, my music videos are organized this way:

<MUSICVIDEOS>
.......................<ARTISTNAME>
.............................................folder.jpg
.............................................fanart.jpg
.............................................musicvideo 1.mkv
.............................................musicvideo 2.mkv


folder.jpg works fine but fanart.jpg gets ignored.

AFAIK fanart in file mode is supported by XBMC but has to be "activated" by each skin. Could you implement this?

EDIT:

I'm sorry. It seems fanart is already supported by Quartz, but only in Media Info 2 view. So any chance you could add the three available fanart views or at least Fanart 2 into file mode?

Could you post a few screens with how it looks with fanart in Confluence?

EDIT: What kind of thumbs are used as folder.jpg - square, poster, wide.. ?

Here are the screen shots from Confluence. I'm using poster sized images for folder.jpg

As said before, Quartz displays folder.jpg and fanart.jpg in file mode under Media Info 2. But it would be really nice to have full screen fan art for musicvideo and/or concert sections, like in Quartz's Fanart1/Fanart2/Fanart3 views.

Fanart 2 looks weird with generic thumbs. I had a play with fanart 1 and 3 but don't really have a means of testing it properly. I have also reverted buffer bar to old behavior.

Hopefully also managed to fix that bloody blue glow on home screen act properly with all kinds of platforms and mouse devices... I'll post an update shortly.

** 3.2.6 **

Improved blue glow menu highlight and mouse support on home screen
Added fanart view for episodes, files and music
Reverted buffer bar changes


Please report if I managed to fix blue glow on home screen.

Thanks for the update! Fanart-views are looking great for file mode!

what size would you suggest?

Max width=1190
Max height=202

It will be centered, so you may go 202x202 if you prefer square one or full 1190x202 if you want a banner ( http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=115993 )

thanx!

thanks, for working on and on...

Let me ask, if its possible to implement Timeline skipping. This would be a very nice feature to jump to any time during Playback. What do you think about?

Care to elaborate a bit? What's timeline skipping? What skin does use that?

Is it possible to add a few themes/colors?

Other than this, fantastic theme for the more simple users (my wife and kid, lol) out there!
