Hitcher Wrote:No problem, glad you like it. In fact, I like it so much I've changed back to using Banners, lol.

I've been using wide thumbs for my tv shows since I first started using xbmc, but after seeing this banner view, I've switched for good...it looks GREAT! thanks

If you name an image for an HD channel as HD, then it should work. the names have to match the studio name though.

If you add 'hdtv' to the actual filename (ie S01xE01.hdtv.mkv) then you'll see the HDTV icon and know it's HiDef.

EDIT: Mind you you'll have 720p or 1080p and know that way.

Hey Hitcher, one thing I just noticed, is that in banner mode, (and maybe other modes too) if you hit "w" to mark a whole tv show as watched, no icon overlays, however if you oopen the tv show, all seasons/episodes get marked as watched.

Can anyone else verify? I'm using the most recent pull of alaska, and the night theme.

Edit: Just checked, yes all the other views work, just banner view will not show a watched icon for the entire show.

Oops, I forgot to add the Watched Overlay. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hmm yeah it should work, I name them in this format 'Californication.S03E09.HDTV.720p.5.1.mkv' and I get the relevant 720p and hdtv flags but not the HD studio one, the studio tags are named the same as the files in the .nfo too. I'll just hope it sorts itself out at some stage :p

Hitcher, I like the new Banner view so much that I've switched to it and am in the process of changing all my TV Shows poster images to banners. While doing this, I have played around with the Viewtype_Banner.xml to allow for a little info re: Episodes, genre, etc and am wondering if the modifications I've done for myself are anything you would want to include in Alaska.

Here is an image to show What I've done.

And here is the modified Viewtype_Banner.xml
Code:

PS. Love the skin!

I've had to hide the Studio flags as most just show ?. Would be great if it only tried to show the flag if there is one.....

If I recall Aeon had the option to either show these as blanks or with the ?.
This would be a nice compromise for people with various tastes. Some like uniformity even if it means showing these as unknowns.

Excuse me for being the noob, but what media manager should I use to get the banners?
HW: Asus P5N7A-VM / E8400 / 2x2GB PC6400 --> Harman Kardon AVR-255 --> Sony 40D3000 (1080p/24-50-60Hz).
SW: Ubuntu Jaunty (32bit). XBMC SVN mainbranch. HDMI for A/V.

Just let XBMC scrape TVdb for them.

There's no way for XBMC to use both, correct? I'd like to have the posters and banners downloaded and be able to switch between views, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.

Nope, it's not supported.
