Transparency! - FAQ / HowTo

CrickDo666 · 2010-06-03 22:57

hey all i have a question about this code

<item id="19">
<label>YouTube</label>
<onclick>XBMC.RunScript(/home/xbmc/.xbmc/scripts/YouTube/default.py)</onclick>
<icon>special://skin/images/backgrounds/YouTube.jpg</icon>
<thumb></thumb>
<visible></visible>
</item>

if the script im trying to launch is E:/Apps/XBMC/Skin/Transparency!/Scripts/YouTube/default.py

or should the path be

<onclick>XBMC.RunScript(e:/Apps/XBMC/Skin/Transparency!/Scripts/YouTube/default.py)</onclick>

and can i hide this script by putting it ohh i dont know in E:/YouTube/default.py
and making the path

<onclick>XBMC.RunScript(e:/YouTube/default.py)</onclick>

so that it doesnt show up as a button and as a script in the scripts view (reduce redundancy)

if you've stored the script in a subfolder of Transparency!, you can use:
<onclick>RunScript(special://skin/Scripts/YouTube/default.py)</onclick>

not sure if i understand the part about hiding it...
if you hide it, how would you run the script ?

CrickDo666 · 2010-06-03 23:18

well i just mean to move it out of the scripts folder and point the shortcut there so that it no longer appears in the scripts view (since it will have its own button) but i think you answered my question so will this work

<onclick>RunScript(special://skin/YouTube/default.py)</onclick>

if the path is E:/Apps/XBMC/Skin/Transparency!/YouTube/default.py

**ronie** · 2010-06-03 23:21

CrickDo666 · 2010-06-03 23:23

I had this question asked:

ValiantXI Wrote:Don't know if this has already been asked or address, was wondering on the now playing for music when you have use fanart instead of visualization marked, if the fanart could be used as a slideshow if you had multiple fanarts for the artist.

They said T! supports it (FAQ #23). Looking at T! I don't see how you have this done?

PHP Code:

<control type="multiimage">
            <description>fallback texture if no fanart is available</description>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>1280</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>
            <randomize>true</randomize>
            <fadetime>2000</fadetime>
            <imagepath fallback="special://skin/images/backgrounds/background-music.jpg">$INFO[Skin.String(Custom_Back_Music_Folder)]</imagepath>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <include condition="Skin.HasSetting(AnimateBackgrounds)">backgroundanimation</include>
            <visible>Player.HasAudio + [Skin.HasSetting(FanartNoVisualisation) | Skin.HasSetting(FanartSlideshowNoVisualisation) | Skin.HasSetting(CDWallNoVisualisation)] + IsEmpty(MusicPlayer.Property(Fanart_Image))</visible>
        </control> 

This seems to be the only mutiimage block but if I read the visible right it will only show if IsEmpty(MusicPlayer.Property(Fanart_Image)) returns true?

you can find the code in Includes_Workaround.xml:

Code:

<include name="fanartslideshow-musicvisualisation">

    <control type="multiimage">

        <description>dirty hack for showing fanart slideshow instead of visualisation</description>

        <posx>0</posx>

        <posy>0</posy>

        <width>1280</width>

        <height>720</height>

        <imagepath background="true">$INFO[Player.FolderPath,,../extrafanart/]</imagepath>

        <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>

        <timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>

        <randomize>true</randomize>

        <fadetime>750</fadetime>

        <include condition="!Skin.HasSetting(FanartSlideshowAnimation)">backgroundanimation2</include>

        <include>VisibleFadeEffect</include>

        <visible>Player.HasAudio + Skin.HasSetting(FanartSlideshowNoVisualisation)</visible>

    </control>

</include>

Thx as always...

Is it possible to have the fanart animated (zoomed in/out and moving around) like with the background image for just viewing the different categories?

so not on the home screen?

if so, In Home.xml remove this line (2x):

Code:

<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(AnimateBackgrounds)">backgroundanimation</include>
