[MOD] Video Info with MPAA Description

Well, Here is the finished mod. I ended up moving the Star Rating again so that it would work with all viewtypes. Please note that the star rating is optional and can be turned on/off in the Alaska Settings just like the stars in the rest of the skin.

[EDIT] Download link removed. This is now combined with the Poster Tagline mod HERE.

To install, extract the download to your Alaska folder. Remember to back up your Alaska skin first in case you don't like it & want to revert. The installation will overwrite 4 files, they are:

720p\DialogVideoInfo.xml
720p\Includes.xml
720p\Includes_Objects.xml
media\movieinfolines.png

This mod does not conflict with my other mod, the Poster/Tagline mod so it is safe to install both. However, if you have personally modified any of the 3 xml files mentioned above, you will need to merge the changes you previously made into these files or vice versa. The best freeware tool I have found for that is WinMerge.

Obligatory screenshots are below using a couple different themes so you can get a better idea of how it will look.

I'm not German so I have no way of testing that.

This mod will display the contents of the "<mpaa></mpaa>" section of a movie's NFO file. If there is text in that section of the nfo, whether it is English or German, it should display it appropriately. It does not remove anything from the Video Info screen that was there previously, it only adds to it.

If you are German & could test it for me, it would be appreciated.

Hi Amra,

thanx for your reply. Sorry, but i'm german so it would be nice if you add a german support.

In Germany we have following Ratings:

- o.Al.
- FSK 0
- FSK 6
- FSK 12
- FSK 16
- FSK 18

The Rating Information is placed in the mpaa section too, like this.

Sorry but i've no O.AL movies ...

We have also icons for that information, but there were extreme colorized. They doesn't fit in the superb Alasko look. So, my oppionion is - no German icons, the information is enough ...

Please add the following as normal text to your mod.

FSK 12

Maybe bold and in the grey text color of the font of the standard skin.

If you like i will test it for you, but this afternoon i'm out.

Thanx again.
Efty

P.S. Because i'm no expert in Photoshop, maybe someone else can make a grey version of the standard FSK icons. That would be nice ... and may look better.

Great work! I am however having issues with the MOD... I applied it today, but now in all movie views there is the menu seems permanently "there" - maybe some screen shots will illustrate what I mean:









See what I mean? The dialogue of "View; Sort Date;" etc. is always there. How can I fix this and have the mod work? Thank you!

@UnisonRuss I think this is a SVN change in theme's things...
