Example; cursor left could go to trailer icon first and then second cursor left would go to hidden menu?

yeah, that's probably the best way.
i'm aiming to release the next version in a week, so i can't promise i get this implemented by then. but if not, it'll definitely be there in the next-next version. ;-)

i'll add detection for PDTV, TVRip and BRRIP, as i wasn't aware those tags were also used.

Great news Big Grin

Will wait for next version Smile

I hope there will be not necessary to rescrap all movies and all detections will be done automatically... Smile

Best regards!

sorry but i don't think i quite understand why you want to access the playlist when watching tv shows specifically? also the reference to the divx codec escapes me?

anyway, the easiest way would be to map a button on your keyboard/remote to access the playlist when in fullscreen mode.

ronie, amazing skin. by far the best available. i've switched for good.

a few questions re: xml editing from a beginner, after going through this thread and the FAQ - how would I:

1) remove the 'watched/unwathched' checkboxes from the fanart view for movies and tv shows

2) remove the 'rating' from the music media info view

3) remove the dvd cover and change the aspect ratio of the thumb in the video media info view - i assume the video media info view is totally separate from the music media info view? right now i only use the video media info view for my home video library (coded as music videos) and it's got 16:9 thumbs being squashed into the DVD cover.

You'll have to edit MyVideoNav.xml
do a search for <include name="EpisodeFanartView">
and remove this part just below it (at line 397):

Code:

<control type="image">

    <posx>320</posx>

    <posy>0</posy>

    <width>30</width>

    <height>30</height>

    <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

    <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Overlay]</texture>

</control>

remove the same section at line 437, 569 and 609.

kmfdm515 Wrote:2) remove the 'rating' from the music media info view

That would be ViewsFileMode.xml, at line 1285 remove this part:

Code:

<control type="label">

    <description>Rating txt</description>

    <posx>785</posx>

    <posy>75</posy>

    <width>140</width>

    <height>25</height>

    <label>$LOCALIZE[563]:</label>

    <align>right</align>

    <aligny>center</aligny>

    <font>font11</font>

    <textcolor>grey2</textcolor>

</control>

<control type="image">

    <description>Rating value</description>

    <posx>795</posx>

    <posy>73</posy>

    <width>150</width>

    <height>30</height>

    <texture>$INFO[Listitem.StarRating]</texture>

</control>

That's the easy one! Just wait a couple of days and i'll release a new version of Transparency! which will have a proper Media Info view for MusicVideos. ;-)

First of all, congratulations! Your skin is amazing!

I've got a few questions though... (I'm new to both XBMC and this skin)

ronie Wrote:Transparency! - A Fanart Skin (updated to v0.27 on 2009-06-25)

[...]

Most of these mods can be disabled / enabled through the skin settings, in fact the Home Menu is fully customizable, you can add or remove every item there.

In the skin settings? Where can I find the skin settings? Even in Appearance I can't find an option to enable/disable your mods...

Also, is it possible to show the album cover (big) plus album info without a viz in fullscreen mode? How can I achieve this? I'd love to see bigger album covers when a track is playing... (all my albums/songs do have embedded cover arts!)

And oh, I see no background (such as in your screenshots) when I mouse over music, pictures, etc. Why is that?

And one last question: http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55006

Is this possible with your skin? Or, is it possible at all?

Thanks a lot for your help!! Love your skin! <3

kmfdm515 · 2009-07-21 23:44

wow, thanks ronie. i'll try those changes once the new version is released.

you are awesome [Image: 24dkbwj.gif]

stokedfish:

the skin settings are accessed by pressing 'left' once in the settings menu.

no backgrounds: you need a newer SVN build of XBMC.

hope that helps!

i never use rss so there's always empty space on the bottom.
can that space used for menus Confused

thanks

the visualization can be disabled: settings > music > general > visualization: none
Transparancy! also gives you the option of showing artist fanart in the background instead of the visualization but this only works if your directory structure is like this:
Music/Artist/Album/..
since you categorize everything in 'mood' subfolders (i can't help but wondering what's listed under Fumbling Towards Ecstasy ;-) ) this won't work in your case.

if you want a bigger cd cover in the fullscreen window, you'll have to get your hands dirty and do some editing in MusicVisualisation.xml.

this is the code for the cover and the surrounding cd-case:

Code:

<control type="image">

    <description>cover image</description>

    <posx>32</posx>

    <posy>-16</posy>

    <width>200</width>

    <height>200</height>

    <texture>$INFO[MusicPlayer.Cover]</texture>

</control>

<control type="image">

    <posx>10</posx>

    <posy>-19</posy>

    <width>229</width>

    <height>207</height>

    <texture>cdcase.png</texture>

</control>

just play with the <posx> <posy> <width> and <height> values 'till the size fits your needs. you may also want to remove the cd case and/or spinning cd if you need some more room for the album cover.

stokedfish Wrote:And oh, I see no background (such as in your screenshots) when I mouse over music, pictures, etc. Why is that?

there may be precompiled svn builds available for Jaunty (never tried those myself)
or just compile from svn yourself.

lol, seems i've already answered your question in that thread before i'd seen your reply here.
