[MOD] ClearArt and Codec Flags on Pause

Just a small little mod I'm moving here from the skin development category..

I just wanted to spice up the Dialog_Seekbar a little to be more like the nice clearArt DialogFullScreenInfo by Ronie (thanks TerranQ for pointing me toward it).







Might have to tweak the posx and posy tags a little to suit your setup as I use 1920x1080 so I'm not sure if they'll work for everyone?

Feel free to do what you like with it if you like it! Just something I wanted for myself and thought some others might like it. Gotta run now, will fix anything I may have messed up later.

I modded this mod a little.

My version better integrates my time remaining mod (so you get to see it like this:

time played / time remaining / total length

)

You also get the end time in the form of:

PAUSED (Ends XX:XX AM)

And most importantly, you get the notification of seek times back from the original seek bar, that is when you skip back/forward with the left/right/up/down/jump back buttons, you get a little notification telling you:

SEEKING: +00:30

or whatever.

Just standing on the shoulders of giants....

I popped some notes and the files on my blog here.

good work dumbgum!

[MOD] Tiny Mod to add Time Remaining Display

No problem, I actually like that myself

Questions if you don't mind.
Where do you store your clearart?
File nameing
How do you set the path.

I haven't downloaded this yet, but I figured I'd ask before driving myself bonkers trying to figure it out. I've ran it before on Transperancy, but that was a long time ago.

Hi kizer. The only thing you need to do is download the clearArt and put it in each TV shows folder named as 'clearart' just as you would with the shows poster, fanart and season images.

For example: "The Simpsons/clearart.png". They can be found at XBMC Stuff.

Rather than going to xbmcstuff.com you have the option of using ppic's nice XBMCStuff downloader plugin:

I was hoping you would say its all stored in the same location as the TV episodes. Makes it a lot simpler opposed to creating a new location just for the clearart files.

Thanks for the answer too.

they are at the same location ...

Hi ppic,

I hit pause when watching a show and it shows the show information but not the clearart. When I pause when watching a movie, the information and cover art show fine.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong; the clearart.png file is in the same folder as my fanart, etc. but still wont show anything.

I'm wondering if my folder structure has anything to do with it:

TV Shows\<Showname>\<Season>\<Episode>.mkv

I put the clearart here:

TV Shows\<Showname>\clearart.png

Is this correct? If it is, then I can't figure out why it wont work. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

are you on a smb share ?

and DuMbGuM, are you using largeimage for clearart on your xml ?
