idea is
tvshow : like landscapefanart with posterplus
seasons : like fanart with posterplus
episode : like fanart with posterplus

goal is as much fanart as possible with the delayed info.

maybe that gives u a better idea

[zwat]

whats left for me to do is
1. episode and season alignment
2. image visibility trouble
3. how to display watched files
4. hopefully getting my flags issues sorted.

but now it's time to sleep

[zwat]

heres my vision.


known bugs:
tvshow\season\episode alignment
watched overlay alignment on tvshow/season/episode
posterplus stays ontop when goning between tvshow <--> seasons <--> episode, but disappear on left\right keypress

left to do. get the posterplus action to react to keypress instead of automatic. hopefully fix the known bugs.
find another watched overlay image looks really bad on the seasons\episodes view.

just yell out if u want me to post the code.


you need to extract the zip in skin.night folder and overwrite existing files.
you need to copy\rename the "media\extras\Studios" to "\media\flagging\studio" to get studioflags

files changed is

• IncludesCodecFlagging.xml
  
• MyVideoNav.xml
  
• Viewtype_Poster.xml
  
• OverlayWatched.png

Tested and confirmed. I updated the first post with an update that works with the latest git version of Night. I tested on my two main boxes (Arch Linux 64bit and Windows 7 64 bit). Let me know if you have any other issues.

I don't think it matches the rest of the skin but who knows, mods sometimes end up being the inspiration for a whole new skin. In the mean time I will continue to tweak the views that I use and give a little back as a way to say thanks for a great skin and media center.

@Redd: after my mod of ur mod i haven't tested ur. have u done any other stuff or just fixed it to work with current builds?

I fixed it to work with the current git builds. The latest version of my mod removes the Movieset label from the bottom. I name my collections so I didn't need it. Basically everything is the same but since I may have changed something I forgot here is a basic list of what I did to make the mod:
Viewtype_Poster.xml-changed to what you see in the mod
IncludesCodecFlagging.xml-moved some of the flags around and added the DVD option for .vob (how I rip movies)
Includes.xml-Changed the time/date/movie count color, position and font
DialogVideoInfo.xml-added the glass poster cover so info matches poster view
Viewtype_Files-commented out Movieset
probably a few other little things but I've forgotten them and we've already discussed that I am bad about commenting in the code.

Hi Redd,

tried your mod and the poster view looks really nice.

But I have one problem. I can't see the scrollbar control button ... I see the scrollbar and it works, but its not looking good without the control button ...
