Hola Wanilton (and others).

Selecting showcase view for movies with a constant info panel showing up extrathumbs is my favorite. Though when it comes to movie set items, i only get the plot text in info panel, no pictures inside the extrathumb spaces. On Aeon Madnox for example you'll get displayed clearlogos of the movies in the set (via skin helper, i believe), i also saw fanarts of them being displayed instead of extrathumbs in that kind of view on another skin i can't remember right now.

Any chance to get some art in those extrathumb places when info panel for movie sets is showing up? Do i miss something to set up or does the view need to be modded?

@azido, skin have specific view for movie sets

Yes, i know about that, but what about movie sets inside the "standard" movie node? You know, you can ask kodi to group movies in movie sets, and i'd really like to see something inside that parts:

Try create folder extrathumbs and inside 4 images

thumb1.jpg
thumb2.jpg
thumb3.jpg
thumb4.jpg

Each movie of that set already has it's extrathumbs. Did you never use the internal kodi feature to group movies in sets?

If used, you get a "virtual" item in your standard movie node for every movie set without needing an extra view for movie sets. So there is no extra dir for a movie set to put more extrathumbs in.

These are the 2 movies that are part of this set right now:



and



so now in movies, when using the kodi feature of grouping movies in sets, i get



which isn't nice

It is nice when you tweak with helper script
little of code changes and use Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ExtraFanArtPath)....

This looks just like i would like to see it..

Mind telling me the tweaks to add?

I'm no real skinner, but of course i can handle xmls in notepad++ and skin helper script is already installed

( This is what madnox does with skin helper in that view:
)

I want mod mq7 till I Find solution for one big problem.....
here is help for you...You can start changing easy,without condition (I meean if you have only two movies in set thumb no.3 & no.4 will be empty).But if you more tweak then your thumb will always be populated with art.
Find this in ViewsShowCase.xml

Code:

<control type="image">
    <!-- Thumb 1 -->
    <left>30</left>
    <top>135</top>
    <width>346</width>
    <height>195</height>
    <aspectratio align="left" aligny="bottom">stretch</aspectratio>
    <fadetime>FanartCrossFadeTime</fadetime>
    <texture fallback="DefaultExtraThumbs.png" background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Path,,extrathumbs/thumb1.jpg]</texture>
    <bordersize>5</bordersize>
    </control>

After change in this

Code:

<control type="image">
    <!-- Thumb 1 Set -->
    <left>30</left>
    <top>135</top>
    <width>346</width>
    <height>195</height>
    <aspectratio align="left" aligny="bottom">stretch</aspectratio>
    <fadetime>FanartCrossFadeTime</fadetime>
    <texture fallback="DefaultExtraThumbs.png" background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Path,,extrathumbs/thumb1.jpg]</texture>
    <bordersize>5</bordersize>
    <visible>!Container.Content(sets)</visible>
    </control>
<control type="image">
    <!-- Thumb 1 -->
    <left>30</left>
    <top>135</top>
    <width>346</width>
    <height>195</height>
    <aspectratio align="left" aligny="bottom">stretch</aspectratio>
    <fadetime>FanartCrossFadeTime</fadetime>
    <texture fallback="DefaultExtraThumbs.png" background="true">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.MovieSet.0.FanArt)]</texture>
    <bordersize>5</bordersize>
    <visible>Container.Content(sets)</visible>
    </control>

Do for all four same(just switch number Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.MovieSet.1.FanArt)..

Also there is multiimage from helperscript...next time
mq6 my mod have this long time ago (only for fanart and landscape,not clearlogo....but its easy to Add)

[azido]

Excelent, thank you!

edit: mh.. working in movie sets node, but not in standard movies view, where i initially wanted it to appear. I guess switching to Container.Content(movies) would use fanart instead of extrathumbs for all movies, regardless if it's a set or not, right?
