[Archive] Transparency! - v0.27

bidossessi Wrote:@ ronie, is that a playlist or an album view?

it's the fanart view at song level, but the now playing view will be quite similar.

bidossessi Wrote:does the fanart change according to the track being played?
i know music fanart is... suboptimal in xbmc and must be hacksawed in by clever skinners like yourself. but since you're like half a day ahead of any request...

you're right, there's some workarounds in Transparency! that enable this future.
settings > skin settings > general > change fanart on song change in now playing
next enter the path to your main music folder below this setting.

because it's a workaround it only works with a directory structure like this:
Music/Artist/Album/files
and there has to be a fanart image in the artist folder:
Music/Artist/fanart.jpg

last, the name of the artist and album folders should exactly match the artist and album name in the id3 tags of the songs, as this is what xbmc uses in the library.

nice ......cant wait 4 friday

lol!
now i we could get some xbmc dev to work on this: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/6782 things would become so much easier...

with the latest version of EMM I downloaded quite some trailers.

Is there any way to see them with Transparency?

Uhm, I just opened the album information dialog and clicked on get fanart or something...

just as in other skins, bring up the movie info window and select trailer.
the next release will also have a trailer icon in the fanart view that will play the trailer in a preview window.

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.




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. ;-)

Hi I presume this has changed in 0.27? Where can I find it now as not keen on the watched flags myself, would be even nice to have an option to remove the flag in skin menu
