"Time Remaining" possible?

So whenever I play a file with a long filename that's not in the library I get overlapping on the "Remaining" on VideoOSD and DialogFullScreenInfo





I'm looking for a way to add a space between the file name and "Remaining" like it does in the below screenshot between the filename and the filesize in file view. I'm not sure of what code to add for it.

Just change the posx and posy values to move the item around the screen.

To make it easier, start a video, keep it playing and back out to the menus, going to the "Appearance" section and high-light the Relaod Skin function. THen alt-tab out of XBMC, open the .xml file, and make your changes. Alt-tab back, and Reload the skin. Hit your key {Tab on a keyboard) to bring back the fullscreen video to see how the change affect your Remaining Time position. Repeat until you get it right.

I'd suggest just moving your Remaining Time up above teh grey box, or down to below the Finish Time. Increasing your POSY by 160 or so shoudl suffice, But that's just a guess


Or bettter yet, shorten the filename. Or Add it to your Library. all 50+ Louis THeroux shows are recognised by TheTVDB.com scraper.

It turned out to be an easy fix. I like it where the code here has it under the clock and over finish. It's a perfect fit there.

change the width of the videoplayer.title label.

line 150 in DialogFullScreenInfo.xml
line 110 VideoOSD.xml

Set width to 725


You can also add

<scroll>true</scroll>

under the videoplayer.title label in both to make the title/filename scroll when too long instead of normal static truncated.


Thanks to ronie for the help.
