Alright so lets say I want a specific icon per-genre. Action>action.png and so on, as this seems to be something I have to code in and I can't find really any info on it in the wiki, and some sporadic info here on the forums anyone know 100% how to add specific images to the genres in library mode?
Regards,
Adam
Couldn't you do <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Label].png</texture> or something?
Have tried the following:
Quote: <control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture>moviegenres\$INFO
[Listitem.label].png</texture>
<visible>Container.Content(Genres)</visible>
</control>
In our commonview.xml and nothing changes.

maybe something like that?
Quote:<control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture>moviegenres/action.png</texture>
<visible>Container.Content(Genres) + substring(ListItem.Label,action) </visible>
</control>
or:
Quote:<control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture>$INFO
[Listitem.label,moviegenres/,.png]</texture>
<visible>Container.Content(Genres)</visible>
</control>
I must really be missing something as none of these are working for me currently. I know i'm working with the right xml I want these to show in but still nothings showing.
It's not the forward slash is it?
Or try this -
PHP Code:
<control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture>moviegenres/$INFO[ListItem(0).Label].png</texture>
<visible>Container.Content(Genres)</visible>
</control>
Great! That worked! But now when I select lets say comedy, it actually reverts back to the default thumb? Is there a way to prevent that?
Sounds like the <focusedlayout> is different?

Of course, the other problem is matching the image name to to actual scraped genre.
If you're using the default scraper (TMDB) then each genre will have 'film' after them.
EDIT: Can we pull a set number of characters from the genre? If so, we could set it to the first 5 characters so XBMC is only looking for 'comed', 'roman', etc as a match.

Here is the code I have so far:
Code:
<!-- Thumb left side -->
<control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture background="true">$INFO
[ListItem.Thumb]</texture>
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
<fadetime>300</fadetime>
<visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Thumb)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture>$INFO
[ListItem.ActualIcon]</texture>
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
<fadetime>300</fadetime>
<visible>IsEmpty(ListItem.Thumb)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<texture>moviegenres\$INFO
[ListItem(0).Label].png</texture>
<visible>Container.Content(Genres)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<posx>15</posx>
<posy>15</posy>
<width>950</width>
<height>1</height>
<texture>views\list\Other\List_Line.png</texture>
</control>
</itemlayout>
<focusedlayout height="70">
<control type="image">
<posx>20</posx>
<posy>15</posy>
<width>940</width>
<height>70</height>
<texture>views\list\Other\List_Fo.png</texture>
<aspectratio>Stretch</aspectratio>
</control>
The focused layout continues from there, is this as simple as moving the code provided by Hitcher above?

I have had to make comedy.png and comedy film.png and so on for each one now because of this.
