How to hide Song Pop-Up between songs?

Waffa · 2010-08-03 14:55

Yep very effective Smile

Skinsetting is the best way.
Open.. Ellipsis/720p/MusicVisualisation.xml

Change line 18
<visible>Player.ShowInfo</visible>
into:
<visible>Player.ShowInfo + !Skin.HasSetting(Hide_MusicInfo_Visualisation)</visible>

And open.....Ellipsis/720p/custom_SkinSetting.xml

Add this code under radiobutton 104. line 265

PHP Code:

            <control type="radiobutton" id="114">
                <visible>ControlGroup(9000).HasFocus(30)</visible>
                <label>Hide Music info in Visualisation</label>
                <posx>0</posx>
                <posy>0</posy>
                <width>1064</width>
                <height>46</height>
                <textoffsetx>15</textoffsetx>
                <radioposx>1033</radioposx>
                <font>Default</font>
                <texturefocus border="4,5,6,8">controls\button_f.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
                <textureradiofocus>controls\radiobutton_f.png</textureradiofocus>
                <textureradionofocus>controls\radiobutton_nf.png</textureradionofocus>
                <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(Hide_MusicInfo_Visualisation)</onclick>
                <selected>Skin.HasSetting(Hide_MusicInfo_Visualisation)</selected>
                <pulseonselect>false</pulseonselect>
            </control> 

Now you can switch your info on/off in your general skinsettings.

I thought we could just toggle it with a key press between, always on, always off, and "pop-up".

That was my thought 2, but it pops up when new song begins.

I tried your alternative method, Waffa, but for the life of me, I couldn't see this new option in any of the skin settings menus. The name "Hide Music info in Visualisation" isn't showing anywhere. I did exactly as you noted. I even checked the xbmc.log to see if any warnings/errors was logged. But nothing.

Did you try this yourself?

In any case, don't use more of your time on this "problem". And thanks again for your effort Smile

Yep and setting should be in general under hide fanart.

That's what I expected and I've doublechecked the values that's been injected in the Elipsis skin files and they are the same as your forum post.

We added the option that waffa came up with to our svn now. So it is there.

I updated my SVN release today and tested against one of the latest Dahrma builds.. It works PERFECTLY. It does exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks a lot to both of you. Waffa for making the necessary code and Blacbolt for including this in, by far, the best skin out there :-) My 60" living room TV is very happy at the moment ;-)

You'll have to show us some pics.

I took a couple of shots of my setup:

A quick little question, the numbering when I use the Media Library for the TV-Shows seems like it's named wrong. Legend of the Seeker has a total of 42 episodes, and I've wathced 40 of those and hence has 2 left to watch. The text says: "42 of 2 episodes watched". In my setup this bug has been hanging around for as long as I can remember really - but since it's such a small bug I guess it's just something nobody has noticed? You can see what I mean in the first picture Smile

Thanks again for you effort in making a great Living-room-friendly skin, Blackbolt Smile
