Hi Ronie!

Is there any way to add extra images for the movie genres? I already downloaded the VideoGenreFanart.zip but i don't know where to put the files.

(sorry for bad english. i'm not a native speaker)

you can basically put them anywhere you want.

in the skin enable:
Skin Settings > General > Videos - Use genre backgrounds
and select the path where you extracted the fanart pack:
Skin Settings > General > - Path:

Can't find Skin Settings > General > - Path:
and Videos - Use genre backgrounds was in Skin Setting > Icons

ah, ok, i probably misunderstood.

are you trying to add genre icons or fanart?

in case you want to add icons for missing genres,
create the folder skin.transparency/media/foldericons/genre/videos
and put them in there.

Yeah, now it's almost perfect.
The icons just replaced the missing ones. Is there a way to replace all genre icons because now i got two different icon styles Rolleyes

only by checking out the T! svn repo and recomping the Textures.xbt file with your custom genre icon.

Hi Ronie,

Just started using transparency and was wondering if it has a 'full screen' button while watching movies? Like in Infkuebce.. I can stretch the movie to fit my screen?
Thanks

yes, bring up the video osd, click the 'video camera' icon
and on the video settings screen, you can switch 'view modes'.

Ronie,

Is there a way to make the Music Player as the default view with full screen when I am playing audio?

Also can you show the sample rate and bitrate when playing the audio?

nope, you can't choose different views in fullscreen.

in fullscreen, press either 'i', 'm' or 'o'.
