I can remove that section from Includes_MediaFlagsVideo.xml, but this affects both views.

add a visible condition to the ratings image control:

where '58' is the id of the media info view.

perfect, thanks!

Hello, first of all to ronie (you're the guy who made Transparency, right?), long time user and fan of your skin. I really liked it up until Frodo came, then... maybe I missed something, but I can't find any way to get the slide view working in Videos>Files>TV Shows (or Movies). It used to be there in previous versions of XBMC, right? Or did I imagine that?

I've tried looking around all the menus in the file browser, in the Settings section, I've searched the forums and the FAQ. I noticed right at the bottom of the (very funny :) FAQ that slide view is in the "To Do" list... was it never in Transparency and too much TV has addled my brain to the point I'm now remembering things that never existed??!??!

slideshow is available there, but you will have to set content on those folders to movies/tv shows.

Thanks for the quick reply, but umm... I don't really follow. From the home screen, I click Videos, I click on the folder I want to go to, and I have the (I think) Fanart Medium List view. I've tried all the cursor keys trying to bring up the menu that IME usually deals with selecting which view you want, but it never appears, so I can't change the view at all. I thought it worked in Movies and TV (i.e. Library mode), but no go there, either.

Tried your advice about setting content several times, looked in the menus and thought maybe I had gone into the Skin Settings and clicked on Hide Slide View or something, but nope, it's not checked. Forgive my dumbness, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong here...

ah, so the problem is you can't get to the menu where you can change the view?

all you need to do is press 'left' once or twice and it should appear.

Yeah, like I said, I tried spamming all the cursor keys, and nothin' doin'

That's what's got me confused. I know how to get the side menu up - pressing left used to work before Frodo. Now... bupkus!

I even just installed XBMC 12.2 and tried again, and still the same problem. Could it be a hidden file or something I have to delete? Something in preferences perhaps?

check if 'kiosk mode' is enabled in skin settings.
if so, disable it.

Thanks so much! That fixed it!

I feel like such a dumbass that I missed that one thing in Settings...

Well, I got Slide view back, so happy days are here again
