"Time Remaining" possible?

It worked from for VideoOSd.xml, but now when i move the Time Remaining to between System Time and Finish time . Though for DialogFullScreenInfo.xml, moving it further makes it vanish... weird, but certainly acceptable, I just leave it above the box.

Hi, argh!
I made some changes in Eden. I use XBMC with my mac and with an AppleTV 1st gen(ATV). Getting Pause on the Mac is not a problem, just hit Space (Pause on the ATV) and up comes the DialogSeekBar. Getting theVideoOSD.xml is M on the Mac but its Menu click and hold on the ATV, consequently, I end up using the standard Pause unless I absolutely need the OSD.

Note that I made no change to DialogFullScreenInfo.xml as I can only access it on the Mac but I supposed it would be the same code, also note that if you use OSD, you will have 2 Remaining times on the screen(top right and bottom right). That's because because VideoOSD.xml calls DialogSeekBar.xml when you pause but as I placed them far apart, it isn't so bad, see picture above.

Here is my code for eden:

-->DialogSeekBar.xml inserted at line 95

Code:

<control type="label">

    <description>Video Remaining Time</description>

    <posx>1255</posx>

    <posy>4</posy>

    <width>300</width>

    <height>25</height>

    <textcolor>white</textcolor>

    <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>

    <align>right</align>

    <label>Remaining: $INFO[Player.TimeRemaining]</label>

    <aligny>center</aligny>

    <font>font-20</font>

</control>

-->VideoOSD.xml also at line 95

Code:

<control type="label">

    <description>Video Remaining Time</description>

    <posx>1255</posx>

    <posy>90</posy>

    <width>300</width>

    <height>25</height>

    <textcolor>white</textcolor>

    <label>Remaining: $INFO[Player.TimeRemaining]</label>

    <align>right</align>

    <aligny>center</aligny>

    <font>font-20</font>

</control>

Hope it works out for you

I already have Time Remaining on top of other layers, and in the position I desire in both VideoOSD and DialogSeekBar... it's the Info screen that's screwign with me. But like I said, it's no matter. I still have it showing, but above System Time. I try to move it down to match the position in my VideoOSD, and it vanishes.. no biggie. I'm just being OCD about it.

I'll take a look on the mac and let you know

Argh!,
I suspect that your placement was under the Info layer and that your transparency is set to opaque which is why you could not see it.
If you have not changed anything else in DialogFullScreenInfo.xml then place this code at line 191, just before the Video End Time:

Code:

<control type="label">

    <description>Video Remaining Time</description>

    <posx>1255</posx>

    <posy>86</posy>

    <width>300</width>

    <height>25</height>

    <textcolor>white</textcolor>

    <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>

    <align>right</align>

    <label>Remaining: $INFO[Player.TimeRemaining]</label>

    <aligny>center</aligny>

    <font>font-20</font>

</control>

Okay that did it. I never changed any setting other than the 'posy' value.. but i placed it quite a bit lower in the xml. I guess that was the issue.

thanky!

Okay I've tried inserting this code into my T! 5 Frodo files, but nothing at all shows on my screens. Is this function still possible?
thanks

Sorry I can't help you much this time, Frodo won't run on my AppleTV but I installed it on my Mac quickly.
Although I can't get XBMC working full screen, it was enough to that my version version of T! 4.0.5 works ans shows Time Remaining.
It is quite possible that XBMC is not going full screen because I am using 4.0.5 and not T! 5
Hope this helps you to persevere
So, here is a screenshot from Windowed mode from the TVseries but it also works in Movies with just Pause or using the OSD

YA i tried all three - VideoOSD, Seekbar, and Fullscreeninfo. It's shows in none of them. I guess the Label has changed? Maybe there's an answer in another thread...

I just added it back in for all three about 5 minutes ago since I lost it in the updates. Used this page to do it which is how I saw your post.

Works perfect for me on latest Transparency, Frodo final and Windows 7

Hmmm well good to know it still works. My XBMC has been a little funny since the update to Frodo, so I think I'll do a wipe/reinstall later today - hopefully all will be well after that.

thanks, Riot.

EDIT: Yup, did a complete wipe of XBMC and reinstalled Frodo, all works fien again. They always claim that isntalling the new version over top works, but it's always caused weird problems for me. Oh well, I guess a once-a-year install is okay Smile
