Simple multi image control? - Lunatixz - 2016-03-06
Hi I'm trying to setup a fading multi image control for a python script.
Is there a simple control that doesn't require a listitem? Not that I mind using a listitem, but that seems over complicated for my needs.
I have four static named images that I want to fade through... I'd like something similar in function to belows nonfunctional code, is that possible?
Thanks in advance.
Code:
<control type="image">
<description>Screenshots</description>
<fadetime>200</fadetime>
<autoscroll>true</autoscroll>
<left>385</left>
<top>275</top>
<width>1145</width>
<height>545</height>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="3000">Focus</animation>
<texture>$INFO[Window(10000).Property(PTVL.SKINSHOT1)]</texture>
<texture>$INFO[Window(10000).Property(PTVL.SKINSHOT2)]</texture>
<texture>$INFO[Window(10000).Property(PTVL.SKINSHOT3)]</texture>
<texture>$INFO[Window(10000).Property(PTVL.SKINSHOT4)]</texture>

if your script can put all 4 images in the same folder, you can use a multiimage control:
Code:
<control type="multiimage">
<left>385</left>
<top>275</top>
<width>1145</width>
<height>545</height>
<imagepath>$INFO[$INFO[Window(10000).Property(PTVL.PATH_TO_FOLDER)]]</imagepath>
<timeperimage>3000</timeperimage>
<fadetime>200</fadetime>
<randomize>false</randomize>

Hey thanks ronie for the suggestion, anyway to make it work with urls?
The images are from github ex: https://github.com/PseudoTV/PseudoTV_Skins/tree/master/Box
I want to gather all the screenshots to fade image in the below window:

nope, you'd have to download them first.

Okay, thanks anyway... I'll rotate thru the images using python.

@ronie is this still true, multiimage doesn't allow image urls at all?
I ask because the script.artwork.helper creates a virtual directory for image paths that one can use in a multiimage control to get rotating extra fanart:
Code:
def _build_list(items, handle):
xbmcplugin.setContent(handle, 'files')
if items:
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems(handle, [_build_item(item) for item in items])
xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(handle)
