Full Version: [HELP] Trouble editing dialogvideoinfo.xml
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am trying to edit this xml right now to adapt to a banner and thumb mode for tv shows. Everything is fine except for the thumb on the season level for banner mode. It put the season thumb (which is poster size) into the banner image control. I have tried to restrict that image control with !container.content(seasons), but it never works.

Is it not possible to restrict the season level within this xml? I want it to show the season thumb in my poster frame. Any help would be much appreciated.
I use stringcompare(Container.ViewMode,$LOCALIZE[view name]) on Alaska to get my images the correct size based on the current view mode.
thinks it's related to this:

instead of !container.content(seasons), you can try:
!StringCompare(Container.FolderPath,videodb://2/2/)
Thanks for the tip Ronie, but it didn't seem to restrict the season level for me.

I guess I will just have to hope it will be part of 10.5
Could a dev. give any insight as to whether or not this will make the cut for 10.5?
Seasons is never an option for dialogvideoinfo.

You either have an episode or you have a show. There is no "Season info".

Thus, adapt whatever you're doing to suit those two options.

now either i'm confused, or you just changed your mind ;-)

I didn't change my mind, I poorly worded my reply :p

When I said "Never" I meant "Isn't currently".

Still, not likely anything I'm going to bother working on for quite some time.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply.

Ronie, do you think it is my rev. that would make your work around not work. I just tested it on Camelot and it didn't work. Any insight would be great.
thanx for clearing up the matter jm. ;-)

ekim232, you can dig tru the DialogVideoInfo.xml code in T! if you like.
i'm using the StringCompare(Container.FolderPath,videodb://2/2/) trick to show a different size thumb at season level.
Thanks Ronie. I will give it another go and see what happens.
