Hi

I made a small MOD to display a larger poster in the Multiplex view.

I also have the Plot Outline MOD installed.

Screenshot:


Edit Viewtype_Multiplex (for me it's line 423):

Code:

<control type="group">
    <posx>612</posx>
    <posy>18</posy>
    <visible>Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)</visible>                
    <control type="image">
        <posx>200</posx>
        <posy>0</posy>
        <width>234</width>
        <height>351</height>
        <texture>common/black.png</texture>
        <colordiffuse>94FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
        <animation effect="fade" start="50" end="50" time="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(darkmultiplex)">Conditional</animation>                    
    </control>                
    <control type="multiimage">
        <posx>200</posx>
        <posy>2</posy>
        <width>234</width>
        <height>347</height>
        <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
        <fadetime>400</fadetime>
        <timeperimage>4000</timeperimage>                    
        <imagepath>$INFO[Container(52).ListItem.Icon]</imagepath>
    </control>            
</control>

Enjoy

It might look better in the Plot layout -

Thanks for the suggestion!

I don't know, I kind of like it with just the Plot Outline MOD.

But it's good to have alternatives so people can choose for themselves

I wish I could fit an even bigger poster, I really miss a large poster view (showcase posters are way too small for my liking, but I have no success MOD'ing it).

Hitchers right it does look better in the plot layout, in my oppinion

[SirBC]

Agreed, it does look better in the plot view.

Would this also work when viewing TV shows?

I didn't post this thread as a vote poll, between the two views

I posted my MOD and appreciate the feedback, I just think that Hitcher should post his in another thread (only thing available right now is a screenshot).

Cheers

[Hitcher]

Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack and I only posted a mock up.

Thanks, I like this much more than the default view! For one, the poster thumbs are way too small in the default, so this allows me to see them bigger, and second, I am not fond of too many fanart files until xbmc supports them off the box.

Thanks

So you just add the lines you posted after line 423? Or should we be editing something around line 423?

I tried adding the full text you posted to line 423, overwriting nothing, and all that shows up in Multiplex view is two blank boxes where the poster should be.

Thanks.

Sorry for not being clear in the description.

You should overwrite the the same paragraph in the xml file, with my code.

PS. Remember that I use the Plot Outline MOD also, so the line number (423) could be different from yours (!)

Try and find the exact paragraph that I edited in your xml file and overwrite it.

no need to get all uptight and snotty we were only saying it looks far more balanced in plot view. if won't listen to peoples oppinions then what's the point of posting your mod?

[paul]

As far as i could see you were just trying to help not hijacking

[nchall]

OK. That worked. I added the same plot mod that you did and overwrote from 423 to 446 with the code you posted, in case anyone else is looking for this.

Thanks.

I guess you overlooked the smileys paul.

No uptight- and snotty'ness here

I thought Hitcher posted a MOD, not just a mockup, and thought it should have it's own thread. Hitcher didn't take offense.

No hard feelings, cheers from you neighbour in Denmark, and sorry if I sounded rude

[Hitcher]

No worries, none taken.
