Big_Noid Wrote:No reason why it shouldn't work. XBMC keeps track of which view mode is set where iirc.
I'll take your request in consideration concerning InfoList.

Big_Noid Wrote:That Bannerview looks quite impressive :cool2:
Might be hard to make it look good with scrolling though (look at the left and right most thumbs in showcase for instance, they fade and slide to give it a natural sliding list look).
Multiplex looks too similar to the Stripshow view in git version, so I won't make that one.
I really like the way the flags and info is shown in the Horizontal Info views.
I think I can combine them in one view. I'll definitely keep these in mind for a new view. Thx for sharing, your mockups are excellent as always

Just updated the GiT version a few minutes ago. The new side menu is really nice.

The overlay is okay if you are in front of the tv/monitor but otherwise it's hard to notice.

Example:
Alaska Revisited:


Aeon Nox:

Shinu Wrote:Oh BTW Noid. I put together some viewtype mockups and thought I'd share. If you like them, maybe you can implement them into the skin sometime in the future Tell me what you think...

New Bannerview

Horizontal Info (Big Poster)

Horizontal Info (Small Posters)

Multiplex (no info)

These views aren't entirely my original ideas. They're inspired by Cirrus and other skins I've seen online. I have a couple other TV Show ideas, but I'm not entirely satisfied with them as yet. Hope u like these though.

Smobbo Wrote:I really like your Horizontal Info (Big Poster) view! It shows al the info, without making the poster small or letting it appear double (like in showcase)!



I for one hope he doesn't change it! I think the green 'watched' sign is really nice and not to intrusive, while still remaining very noticable!

Going to the newest git now! Curious about the side menu ::!

Keep up the great work Big_Noid!

Machine-Sanctum Wrote:Big Noid,

I posted my debug log @ TV guide and they think that Aeon-Nox is trying to load a file that isn't there "logo.png".
Here's the respons:

This is my debug log: http://pastebin.com/QQn2iN3m

Machine-Sanctum Wrote:Tried it out last night. It's a big impovement
However there are still some small things that need tweaking.

Big_Noid Wrote:Missed this I guess. I can add a watched indicator to the list part.

Yeah, those are the logo's. I can't help with why it won't load the logos. usually this justmeans XBMC can't access the file on the given location.

Yeah, tried to fix most things. Please let me know if there are any issues left.

Machine-Sanctum Wrote:As you requested
Here some things i came across testing the new skin.
Bugs/missng/ideas

Code:

Search/filter not same as in movies

Some music views cdart disc start spinning while browsing when no song is playing

Some mediamenu things...
Music:
wall: fanartart option isn't propperly aligned, no darker fanart
low list: no darker fanart
darker not available in low list, filter has no "filter text" or textcursor
infowall: option "background 1 & 2" check option not visible. Should this be darker fanart as it appears to do this?
cd case: no darker fanart
list: no option hide cdart.
       maybe an idea when you press "key RIGHT (like in lowlist)"to show info of the current selected track.
       so shifting the CDArt of screen or make it smaller and displaying the info.

movies:
Dvd case: option "audio stream/ subtitle, country" and "plot, plot outline" don't always work or is available in different layouts
infowall: option "background 1 & 2" check option not visible. Should this be darker fanart as it appears to do this?
bigfan: no darker fanart, filter and search both available
posters(slide mode on): no darker fanart. watched/new not available
poster (slide mode off): watched/new doesn't work
low list (lower list of): shows(videocodec,AR,1080/720,audio codec)
low list (lower list on): show (movie studio, movie rating, 1080/720, audio code)
    so not consistent or is this supposed to be?
    show info not visible in "lower list" so maybe disable
    only watched "check"available. Maybe something to mark new ones?

only low list has trailer button button

cdart still little bit visible while in movie browsing.
maybe completly show playing cdart as there's enough room at top of the screen.
although it then will be on top op de arrow for chosing viewtype.
list view: is only one that has round covers option. watched/unwatched not available
showcase: when chosing hide while scrolling the choose time option pop ups.
stripshow: no different layout selection

chosing same layout twice diable layout view so "please select layout" is visible
option not consistent. somethimes "audio stream/ subtitle, country" other ""audio stream/ subtitle, genre"

Sorry abou't the long list. Can't help that it's my profession to find small problems or improvements
Love what you've done and it's hard work to track all changes that you make when you redesign the menu on this scale.
Hopes this helps improving this skin even more
I will wait a couple of days to update dutch language file. Saw there are some changes in the string id's

Big_Noid Wrote:Thx for testing, not all are bugs (more features ) but a lot are indeed bugs. Some views I forgot to finish, like the poster slide and stripshow view for movies. Fixed a good couple of issues already.
EDIT:Background 1 and 2 is a toggle to switch between fanart overlays. 1 is equal fade and 2 is an overlay with brighter top and bottom. I switched countless times between the two and now I just made it an option to choose from.

Machine-Sanctum Wrote:I didn't say they where all bugs
In the mean time i may have added some new things to the same post while i was playing with the skin. See last edit time. So maybe reread the post to be sure.

Maybe changing the text so it's clearer what is does.
Also have some other textual changes that may better fit the skin both for Englisch and Dutch. I'll test these ideas out and let you know or give a "pull request".
Then you can decide if you'll like it.
