RE: Aeon Nox 5 - mikeSiLVO - 2014-12-17

Wow! Didn't even think of that. Works now! Thanks so much, you and phil65 are the best! So disappointed cause i couldn't get it to work when i tried to implement the same thing.


RE: Aeon Nox 5 - mikeSiLVO - 2014-12-17

Playing around some more and I noticed that clicking titles that are in in my library just brings me back to dialgvideoinfo and shows whatever title I was originally on instead of taking me to the title I clicked on. Not sure if i should post a log or if better suited to bring this up in the extended.info thread..


RE: Aeon Nox 5 - mikeSiLVO - 2014-12-17

Everything works now except the extended (actor) info dialog does not close when you click play on a movie in your library.
Thanks for the quick update.

RE: Aeon Nox 5 - mikeSiLVO - 2014-12-17

Thanks phil65! Is the tv stuff still WIP? I mean clicking on the TV show actor roles and anything in the following pop up like show actor TV show appearances or show TV show info.


RE: Aeon Nox 5 - phil65 - 2014-12-17

everything I do is WIP^^ TVShowInfo should work already, I didnt even start with appearances / episodes section yet because i am still not sure how to implement that in the best way. . Need some minutes to think first Smile

TV Show Info does indeed work I was just trying to be thorough in my question so you knew what I meant and since I read the whole extended.info thread and remembered reading that part was WIP I was just curious if the appearances choice worked.
Again thanks for your help, response to my question, and of course everything else you do!

I just tried the new extendedinfo update and think its great. It makes me feel foolish for spending several hours updating the antiquated Metadata Actors.

I would suggest adding the following code for directors (and perhaps the same for writers) (Line 351):

PHP Code:
<item>
<
label>$INFO[ListItem.Director]</label>
<
label2>$LOCALIZE[20339]:</label2>
<
onclick condition="System.HasAddon(script.extendedinfo)">RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=extendedactorinfo,name=$INFO[Container(300).ListItem.Label])</onclick>
<
visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Director)</visible>
</
item

When bringing up directors, I noticed a few inconsistencies:
  • Information such as "Known Movies" and "In Database" are coming-up blank.
  • Also, could you add the actor's age beside the birthday, so I don't have to do the math?
  • Regardless of crew member, the Biography pop-up says "Known For" as opposed to "Biography."
  • When selecting a director, "Movie actor roles" appears before "Movie crew member." This should be reversed for directors and other crew members.
  • It would be nice if the director's directed movies would be separated from the "Movie crew member" section.
Image

From testing, I find the biographical text (name, bio, etc.) to be microscopically small when viewed at a distance on a TV.

Outside of that criticism, thanks for this addition! It is my favorite new Kodi feature since I started using this program.

@BigNoid and phil65: just installed aeon nox 5.5.7 and explored the actor extended info.
WOW! fantastic! so cool!
i only had time for a quick look but this adds so much to the kodi experience.
thanks.


@Warner306: thanks for your work on the metadata actors dialog. it was a valiant and much appreciated effort.


a big thanks

Available on git and soon on repo.

Is this update Helix only or Helix and Gotham?

Checking Git it looks like the Gotham branch hasn't been updated with anything new since October 11th... So I doubt this can be used in Gotham.

I was researching your previously mentioned mod idea about extra cases for hdtv and resolution and was wondering if you can you tell me what skin had that feature?


RE: Aeon Nox 5 - Warner306 - 2014-12-18

I'd like to modify this update to improve its appearance. The text size is inconsistent throughout and things such as the size of flags needs to be adjusted. Also, it would be nice to include the actors age and a the year of release on the top of each movie poster.

Reskinning all of the dialogs to fit the Aeon Nox 5 theme would make even more sense, but that is too much work for me. For now, I think the default dialogs provided lack polish in many ways. For example, the onup condition shouln't send me to the bottom of the screen when I press the up arrow to return to the top. There are a lot of little adjustments that need to be made.

I think recommendations like this should be posted in the extendedinfo thread since this is still a work in progress like phil65 previously mentioned. Suggestions I am sure are welcome after other things are fixed like bugs and/or improvements to the code affecting things like speed, accuracy, and reliability. Honestly if you have issues and want to solve them then you should post your own version of script-ExtendedInfo Script-DialogVideoInfo.xml and script-ExtendedInfo Script-DialogInfo.xml as those are the files that you think need changing... I would love to see what you come up with. Me personally I will wait to see how things progress.


RE: Aeon Nox 5 - Warner306 - 2014-12-19

Here is my quick-and-dirty suggested improvement of DialogInfo:

Image

I found the text at the top too small to read and the auto-scroll appeared broken in the textbox. I also found it easier to navigate with the arrow keys when the content doesn't wrap around.

To add the year, I added the following code to the item layout and focused layout for that item:
PHP Code:
<control type="image">
<
width>55</width>
<
height>27</height>
<
posy>10</posy>
<
texture>common/bgcolor.png</texture>
<
animation effect="fade" start="100" end="80" time="40" condition="true">Conditional</animation>
</
control>
<
control type="label">
<
width>50</width>
<
height>30</height>
<
posx>1</posx>
<
posy>6</posy>
<
align>center</align>
<
aligny>center</aligny>
<
font>font12</font>
<
label>$INFO[ListItem.Year]</label>
</
control

I could not figure out how to add Window.Property(AgeLong) to the birthday line. The list style is not familiar, but it would improve that section to have a chronological age rather than just a birth date.

Also posted in extendedinfo thread.
