Plot information for movies...

jpf55 Wrote:I have tried adding the animation code before and after the plot code but it does not seem to be the right spot.

put the animation code together with the textbox inside a group control.

i haven't tested it, so no idea if it'll work....

No, it does not work but no worries, you've helped me get the important stuff.

This mod was is for the AppleTV and I don't want to slow it down any further.

Thanks for your help

Ultimately, this is what I did for the Movies:

My only question is purely cosmetic and comes from when you escape that window:

As you can see, the Poster, Title, List and Trailer icon have faded, The fanart is stationary, as is the page and item count but the plot moved down. How can I fade the plot out instead of animate it down?

use a fade animation instead of a slide animation.

something like this, i guess:

Code:

<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="300">WindowClose</animation>

I'm not sure I understand, should I be looking to change an existing slide to a fade or should I ad a new <animation effect="fade" ?
I tried adding your line to my code, and it did not change anything.
I also tried to find an existing <animation effect="slide" concerning the Plot but did not find one, at least not in View-Fanart.xml.
this is my code:

Help!

yes, you should add the fade animation to the textbox control.

if it's currently sliding, then there's got to be a slide anim somewhere in the code.

ok, I'll keep looking
thanks

Ronie,

I have been trying to add the plot information to my movies in Eden Beta 1/2 using the information described in previous posts and not having much success doing so. Here is what I have done.

Before changes to View-Fanart.xml file:

The changes I made to View-Fanart.xml file:

I don't seem to be getting any plot information showing up:


What am I missing?

EDIT: I have been playing around with this a little further and when I replace $INFO[ListItem.Plot] with a hard coded value like "test", I can see the hard coded value show up. It looks like maybe I need to use something other then $INFO[ListItem.Plot].

$INFO[ListItem.Plot] should work fine.

ronie Wrote:$INFO[ListItem.Plot] should work fine.

No go on using $INFO[ListItem.Plot].
