Didn't know anyone else was working on this. Oh well doesn't mean I can't have an alternative one.
Quote:I like it! But I do have a few ideas. First, I agree there needs to be a toggle. Say like press "I" to get the original ifo screen then "I" again to bring up the plot/actors/etc. Pressing "BACKSPACE" would clear either screen back to the movie.
This is something I would love to have it do. Like a Extra Info function. But I think that is not something that can be done with a skin. I believe It has to be in the XBMC code.
Quote:Second. I like the spinning disc when it appears coming out of the right side of the case. Coming from the top just looks.... funny. You know, a little funny. If you could put it on the side and arrange the rest of the text I think tis would be perfect.
I had it like that at first but changed it cause I thought it looked funny with the plot so far away from the poster. I will make both of them in the future. I really just wanted to get some feed back and see if anyone even wanted it.
Quote:And if you could post the code and changes to the includes file that would be sweet. I've already modded mine a little bit and don't want to lose those changes. But awesome work!
Will do. I started to mark all the changes as went but then I started getting sloppy. If you search "reksp13" most of the changes are below that.
Quote:Oh, are you also able to scroll through the cast list like on the main info screen? That would be good to try and look someone up while the movie is still playing.
I thought about that too but the arrow keys scroll threw the movie. I'm also working modding the metadata actors script to do that when you browse an actors filmography. I want to make it look just like it does when your browsing movies that are in your library. I'm close but having some problems with the positioning of the actors images and scrolling with the remote. With the mouse it works fine. Also I'm bringing back the "Role" and "Job" at the bottom right side. I always liked having that. I hope someone hasn't already done this and I'm wasting my time?
Here are some preview shots of my modded metadata actors:
This is how the info page looks when your browsing an actors movies
Notice The "Role" is Back"
And this is how the info page looks when you select movie info
Notice I tried to make the layout look like it does with movies in your library.)
And this is what Im working on it getting to look like minus the discart and video file at the bottom.(This is a screenshoot from my library)
