Playing around with confluence

@regnets, which nightly are you running? It's been in the last few I've tried. Definitely in 20120629, 'cause I'm running it at the moment.

Hi Matt,

that's confusing...

I'm running the atv2 build 20120702.

Maybe I missed it?

What is the name of the view?

Thank you

[Edit]
I have no idea why I didn't see the view at first time.

I'm sorry for the dumb question.

I´m using the latest OpenELEC build and from what I can understand the new Lite version of Confluence isnt included there. Is there a way to download the skin separetely?

Get the tarball from here:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/zipball/master

and then extract the skin and copy it over to your machine

If you're referring to the numerical ratings in the lists, I'm glad those (and the HD/SD flags) aren't shown in this view. The list looks really clean without them, and the limited horizontal space is better used for item names, imo.

Different opinions I guess I think the numerical rating can certainly fit in there, in many diff places.

I guess everyone has their own opinion. But, since I see that someone else was also asking for the exact same thing as me -- here's what I did to put the ratings and movie length into the thumbnail view.

I didn't care for the "Total Duration" field in the bottom-right corner. I can't really see any use for it personally (when looking at multiple movies at least). So, I replaced this with the movie length and rating -- code that I found in another skin (I'm a Python newbie!).

Anyway, open up the following file: C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\720p\includes.xml. Find the section called CommonPageCount and change this line from:

to:

I realize it's a hack.. but, seems to work for me!!

So I gather the "Videos goes to File View" options has not made it back into the new Confluence?

No, the only thing i miss from the old Confluence. Why would i use the videos menu for any other purpose than going into files view? Movies and tv shows are already on the main menu. I don't use playlists or video addons really, the most used video addons are already on the home screen.

Now that i've used the new one without custom backgrounds it's fine really and i don't need them. The main menu is very snappy.

Hey Guys,

this is a very great Skin, but i miss something.
Is it possible to include this things like

- when ends the movie (time)
- Moviecover
- Name
- Infos about Movie

when it is paused?

Not tested, yet...

Jezz_X, excellent skin mod. I like all of the views but one really suits my need best... Media Info 2 because it shows the plot, list, DVD thumb, HD/SD icons without "hiding" the fanart. Media Info 3 is great, but Im not to crazy about the fanart on top of the fanart redundancy. I'd like to modify Media Info 2 by adding (in the MOVIES library) the year & possibly duration hopefully to the right of the codec info. Could you (or anyone else) please tell me which xml file I need to edit and what the code insertion should be and if / how to modify the codec info to make it fit nice. I'm not having any luck on my own.

Thanks & keep up the great work.
