Win Remove entires on movie information page
#1
Hey guys,

I'm using the standard XBMC 11.0 Eden version with the build-in confluence skin and tmdb scraper. Basically I'm using XBMC as a library program for the bluray discs I own (not for video files on my pc). My movie database consists of a .disc-file for each movie I have. Everything works out quite well that way... but:

How can I remove entries on the movie information page? For example: the director, year of production, genre, run time, rating and file path are shown. Is it possible to remove lets say the rating and file path from the information table? I just dont need that...

Do I have to edit the scraper? Or the skin? Is there an easy way, since I'm not much of a programmer or skinner...

Thanks for your help!

Easy way is edit file "DialogVideoInfo.xml" inside the "..xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/720" folder.
just search for the entries you dont want and delete it.

make sure you backup the "DialogVideoInfo.xml" first.
use notepad if you dont have any editor for xml.

the entries might look like this.
Code:
<item>
    <label>$LOCALIZE[20339]:</label>
    <label2>$INFO[ListItem.Director]</label2>
    <onclick>SendClick(2003,13)</onclick>
    <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Director)</visible>
</item>
<item>
    <label>$LOCALIZE[20417]:</label>
    <label2>$INFO[ListItem.Writer]</label2>
    <onclick>-</onclick>
    <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Writer)</visible>
</item>

Don't use default notepad from windows, as it adds commands etc to end of lines. Download and use notepad++

Thanks guys!

Just what I searched for, works perfectly and was easy to apply Big Grin

Now that I know that you guys are good, here's another question Smile)
When I browse the list of my movies and press "Enter", XBMC wants to start playing the movie. Is it possible to set the default action when pressing "Enter" to something else, say displaying the movie information (which normally is button "i")? That would be great and really useful.

Thanks so much again!
Cheers, the_at

Not really, that action is core XBMC not the skin. What you can do is Settings --> Video --> File Lists --> Default Select Action
You have a couple of choices including show info
