ezechiel1917 Wrote:hi skunk, I wanted to ask, is is possible having an optional toggle for plot summary for High List movies view (like TVshow has) For movies, currently only Poster view does have it optional, but navigating through it is much slower than it would be with list. Thanks!

I think it's already on most views is it not? (There are some views where it's not displayed in the Options Menu directly as it's difficult to have some of the options show up at the right time but try looking in the Skin Settings as it may be possible to do it from there).

Let me know if it's not possible (or you can't find it) and I'll look into it.

I was using the default font but a non-standard resolution. (1776x1000) due to overscan problems on my TV. Switched to 24h mode, to drop the additional AM/PM text, seems better but will check it out on the next release thanks.

Just checked, and forgot List View can have plot toggled too :] there is no setting in Skin Settings though and I wouldn't mind having plot optionally available for some other views, High list is very good candidate perhaps, but I'll leave that decision to you. At least one list view has it now, that's fine Smile

I can't seem to get the music OSD on the xbox
and when i run the lyrics script the album cover overlays the music now playing...

Finally got around to fixing this. Will be in the next release.

Waffa Wrote:Music OSD works good on my xbox.

The music playing info (bottom left) is now hidden when the lyrics is active.

Also when the music now playing info is visible on the music visualisation screen, pressing M on the keyboard will slide in the player controls (like it does with the music now playing info on other screens).

Thanks for the update skunkm0nkee

Do you know where I update the skin settings to point to them?

Im not near my xbox right now and am at work, so I thought Id quickly ask before heading home to test - thnx!!

Hi, skunkm0nkee:

I have a feature suggestion for your skin, that maybe other skins that use skin based media flagging can use too:

On the IncludesMediaFlagging.xml it would be usefull to add:
- "filename.DVDRip.avi" - dvd.png
- "filename.BRRip.avi" - bluray.png

And it would be needed 4 more "source" icons:
- "filename.DVDR5.avi" - r5.png (audio not so goog normally...)
- "filename.SCREENNER.avi" - dvdscreener.png (video with watermarks or logos...)
- "filename.CAM.avi" - cam.png
- "filename.TS.avi" - ts.png

This would be useful to know the real source of our files (and for the user to check if there is a better source available from time to time).

Go to :

system / settings / skin / backgrounds and all other sections.

Good suggestion.

Normally I delete those adds.
Most of my files are dvdrips but sometimes I can't wait and grap a R5/screener.
Very Cool

if I could reconize them with a flag. Nod

I think this would be a great idea but for CAM you may run into problems where words such as camera, camp, or camero may be picked up and mislabelled as a CAM.

But outside of this, I think it would be an excellent idea.

@Waffa:

Thanks for all of your help in getting me started!!!

No it would not pick up camp, etc..because

filename.CAM.avi
If fat isn't exactly the same it would not pick up the cam flag.

Just wondering, how can one get to browse in cast list with remote/keyboard? I just can't get selection active there. Is this a (known) bug? I believe simple down should get the job done. Only if I use mouse it changes actors accordingly.

Waffa · 2009-08-08, 23:24

Hmm you're right.

Works fine in MiniMeedia 0.90

hi all.
I noticed yesterday that when you run concurrent updates (video and music) the notification appear in the same spot, making them both unreadable. pretty easy to reproduce.

would it be possible for concurrent notifications to be made not to occupy the same space? is it an xbmc limitation?

Someone spotted this a few weeks back and it has been fixed for next release. (I REALLY hope to be able to get the release out this week)

Nope, not a XBMC limitation, just lazy programming on my part! I'll look into it for the next release.
