ANy way to change the poster size for music videos?
#1
Hi Ronie -

Poster size for music videos in all views except fanart is close to square.

Most of my music videos section is populates with music-dvds so the covers are standard rectangular dvd covers.

Is there any easily editable chunk of .xml I could edit to have these covers show in full in list , full list or thumbnail views?

Thanks!


BTW - actually the same thing would be great for the artist pics in the music library - in fanart view these are more or less square whereas the artist pic scraped is often a tall rectangle.

assuming you're using T! v2.10 beta, here's the code you'll need to change
in View-List.xml:
Code:
<control type="image">
    <posx>15</posx>
    <posy>68</posy>
    <width>364</width>
    <height>364</height>
    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">scale</aspectratio>
    <texture diffuse="thumb-diffuse.png" background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</texture>
    <bordertexture>thumb-shadow.png</bordertexture>
    <bordersize>11</bordersize>
    <fadetime>IconCrossfadeTime</fadetime>
    <visible>Container.Content(MusicVideos) + !stringcompare(ListItem.Label,..)</visible>
</control>


in View-Thumbnail.xml:
Code:
<itemlayout condition="Container.Content(MusicVideos)" height="156" width="176">
....
<control type="image">
    <posx>28</posx>
    <posy>5</posy>
    <width>168</width>
    <height>102</height>
    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">scale</aspectratio>
    <texture diffuse="video-diffuse.png" background="true">$INFO[Listitem.Icon]</texture>
    <bordertexture border="9">video-shadow.png</bordertexture>
    <bordersize>9</bordersize>
    <visible>!stringcompare(ListItem.Label,..)</visible>
</control>
and:
Code:
<focusedlayout condition="Container.Content(MusicVideos)" height="156" width="176">
....
<control type="image">
    <posx>28</posx>
    <posy>5</posy>
    <width>168</width>
    <height>102</height>
    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">scale</aspectratio>
    <texture diffuse="video-diffuse.png"  background="true">$INFO[Listitem.Icon]</texture>
    <animation type="focus">
        <effect type="zoom" start="100" end="123" center="auto" time="200" reversible="false" />
    </animation>
    <animation type="unfocus">
        <effect type="zoom" start="123" end="100" center="auto" time="200" reversible="false" />
    </animation>
    <bordertexture border="9">video-shadow.png</bordertexture>
    <bordersize>9</bordersize>
    <visible>!stringcompare(ListItem.Label,..)</visible>
</control>

as for the artist thumbs, i prefer to keep them square.
all artist thumbs on http://htbackdrops.com/ are square, so if you scrape them from there you won't have any problem.
