Artist Slide Show issues

fional · 2012-01-28 21:26

I am having a bit of trouble with the artist slideshow bit.

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=100...tcount=206

I posted in the above thread and was told those were skin settings. I must be doing something wrong?

The artist pictures are cycling quite fast, about every 3 seconds or so.

ronie Wrote:the skin determines the time each image is being displayed.

Also, many of the pictures are off the screen, in that I just see like a torso and their heads and such aren't there. I don't recall that issue in Dharma for me Tongue

I'm sure I might have something set-up wrong, but I've been tinkering with this and I can't quite figure out what. I tried setting the minimum settings to like 800x600 and whatnot, but no go. I'm at 1920x1080.

ronie Wrote:that's a skin thing too, if it stretches the images, things will get cropped.

Thanks much

Aspectratio was a bug. Is fixed on git version, but not yet on official repo.
The time per image is set to 5 sec. I think it's a good timing, but if you want to delay it, change it in Inlcudes_Visualization.xml. Look for include 'ArtistSlideshowBG' and change the timeperimage tag to whatever miliseconds you like. You can replace the entire include with this code to fix the ar bug:

Code:

<include name="ArtistSlideshowBG">

    <control type="group">

      <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(DisableArtistslideshow)+!Skin.HasSetting(Viz-CDWall)</visible>

      <include>Animation_VisibleChange400</include>

      <include>Animation_OpenCloseZoom</include>

      <control type="image">

        <include>FullscreenDimensions</include>

        <texture>common/black.png</texture>

      </control>

      <control type="multiimage">

        <timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>

        <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

        <include>MusicVizBG</include>

        <imagepath background="true">$INFO[Window.Property(ArtistSlideshow)]</imagepath>

        <visible>IsEmpty(Window.Property(ArtistSlideshowRefresh))</visible>

      </control>

    </control>

  </include>

Does anyone know if this is fixed? I'm using Eden 11.0 and still have the aspect ratio issue on the pictures when using "artist slideshow" add-on. for almost pictures it cuts the heads of the artists Smile

tks for the help!
