After posting a mock up in this thread and then receiving a PM asking if could actually make it here it is.








Simply open up your Viewtype_Multiplex.xml and find this group -

Code:

            <control type="group">
                <posx>921</posx>
                <posy>18</posy>
                <visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>                
                <control type="image">
                    <posx>0</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>299</width>
                    <height>169</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="largeimage">
                    <posx>2</posx>
                    <posy>2</posy>
                    <width>295</width>
                    <height>165</height>
                    <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
                    <fadetime>400</fadetime>
                    <texture>$INFO[Container(52).ListItem.Path,,extrathumbs/thumb1.jpg]</texture>
                </control>
                
                <control type="image">
                    <posx>0</posx>
                    <posy>180</posy>
                    <width>299</width>
                    <height>169</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="largeimage">
                    <posx>2</posx>
                    <posy>182</posy>
                    <width>295</width>
                    <height>165</height>
                    <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
                    <fadetime>400</fadetime>
                    <texture>$INFO[Container(52).ListItem.Path,,extrathumbs/thumb2.jpg]</texture>
                </control>
            </control>

And replace it with this one -

Code:

            <control type="group">
                <posx>921</posx>
                <posy>18</posy>
                <visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>                
                <control type="image">
                    <posx>50</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>236</width>
                    <height>352</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="largeimage">
                    <description>Cover image</description>
                    <posx>52</posx>
                    <posy>2</posy>
                    <width>232</width>
                    <height>348</height>
                    <texture>$INFO[listitem.thumb]</texture>
                    <aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
                </control>
            </control>

[ray5986]

[hikaricore]

WHY is this not a default view??!!

because

[redje]

can you please post the xml also?

thnx

[PainToad]

I don't get why Episodes does this, but not movies, anyways, love your work, will add it to my setup tonight.

[Killer Rabbit]

This works great.

Thanks so much, I've been wanting this option since multiplex was announced.

[Hitcher]

can you please post the xml also?

thnx

I would do but it's got other things I've changed as well.

This view you made is very important and urgently needed.

This Large Poster view should display when no fanart is available.
When there is fanart, what about this view then?



I dont know if its possible, but i am talking about a hybrid between your two mods you made that switches on the fly.

another quick and dirty one with tagline above and trailer :

[Arkon11]

love the view, I've been wiating for a large poster view for a while.

[theotocopulitos]

thanks!

[azido]

yeah, i find this one looks so much better now



plus, i don't have the hassle and limitation the extrathumbs currently have.. (though i'm sure i will use them once they are officially supported)..

thanks hitcher!

[nekrosoft13]

can you do the same for TV Shows?

[eriksmith200]

When there is fanart, what about this view then?

i like that view

[Evanrich]

I too like the view above...would love to see a mod of it.
