Hi,

Fairly new to XBMC, but really loving the Back Row skin - great job!

I would like to tweak the Movie Fanart Wrap View slightly. Would like to add the "Year" into the movie info popup that appears after a few seconds. Ideally would like to make both Year and Runtime always visible (as opposed to cycle round, like Director, etc). Is this easy to do? If so, I would be really grateful for some pointers as the what I would need to edit. I am happy to play around and experiment a bit.

Thanks.

Hi there,

First thing to do is get hold of the latest version of the skin.

You need to edit the file includes.xml in the PAL16x9 folder.

Look for the include "MovieInfo" (line 1242)

The label you'll need to edit is this one (line 1573)

Code:

<control type="fadelabel">
<posx>125</posx>
<posy>46</posy>
<width>320</width>
<textcolor>99ffffff</textcolor>
<scroll>false</scroll>
<scrollout>false</scrollout>
<pauseatend>4000</pauseatend>
<font>font16</font>
<label>$LOCALIZE[20417]: $INFO[ListItem.Writer]</label>
<label>$LOCALIZE[20339]: $INFO[ListItem.Director]</label>
<label>$LOCALIZE[345]: $INFO[ListItem.Year]</label>
<label>$LOCALIZE[20074]: $INFO[ListItem.mpaa]</label>
<label>$LOCALIZE[13408]: $INFO[ListItem.rating]</label>
<label>$LOCALIZE[2050]: $INFO[ListItem.Duration] $LOCALIZE[12391]</label>
<align>left</align>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(548) + Container.Content(movies)</visible>
</control>

That's the one that scrolls through the multi info labels.

If you want to add year and duration as separate labels you'll need to remove them from the fadelabel (above) and then re-add them as regular labels.

Oh and you will probably need to move the plot info down a bit and make it's height smaller to accommodate the new labels (line 1628).

Excellent, thanks Sharpe. That's works perfectly.

Keep up the great work!
