Not possible or ignored?
Kinetic scrolling may be a request that could be made in the general suggestions, but a touchable volumebar and searchbar for videos would be nice

Hi Exposer

Nobody is ignoring you but kinetic scrolling is not possible unless someone write some C code. You may understand that this skin has been started because it was impossible to handle correctly touchscreen hardware with original xbmc....
Touchable volumebar and searchbar for videos was already suggested by one user (But I can not remember who...)
There may be a way to do it but I do not know how to except to align dozains of small button on the same line. And this would be an hugly hack, IMHO...
VirtualHours is more skilled than I am so it may be possible for him...

Ah okay, thank you very much
I hope somebody will do this, in the main time maybe a wider scrollbar may be added. =)
@virtualhours It's no problem for me that you do not program all the night long ;D I'm looking forward to see your next releases. The actual beta versions are already great


ps: Sorry for my bad english. I'm out of training

[virtualhours]

i don´t forget you all, but in the last days i have no time - but in the next two days i will release here a new update!

regards

[virtualhours]

okay - update is nearly

previously news:

- new SKIN INFO
- Apple Movie Trailer in HomeScreen Menu
- Apple Movie Trailer Script with BACK-Button
- OSD in Music Fullscreen -> is this what you all want? -> will look to make a other solution for touchscreen to use original Fullscreen-Mode to not lose OSD plugins..... or do you need OSD plugins? - also will remove the OSD Plugins from Option Menus?
- little bugfixes with back-buttons
- FanArt Backgrounds in Music-Library mode (see picture)


not fixed:
- player buttons y=656 / 701 in some screens problem not fixed - i dont find the problem - i use newer svn

[LoloMc²]

okay - update is nearly

- Apple Movie Trailer Script with BACK-Button

Interesting... Regarding the picture viewer "made in python" (as nobody gave any answer to my request..) I though about integrating a flash picture viewer like this one. It is not under GPL unfortunately. But it is free.
I do not have time actually unfortunately to even start to look at python exemple.
So, now that you know how to insert a back button into a script... if you find how to display a swf flash file into a python script....

I do not even know if it is possible! But if you like this idea, this image viewer seems to be able to rotate automaticaly pictures.

- OSD in Music Fullscreen -> is this what you all want? -> will look to make a other solution for touchscreen to use original Fullscreen-Mode to not lose OSD plugins..... or do you need OSD plugins? - also will remove the OSD Plugins from Option Menus?

This is the idea (plus, I would like to get the bitrate :p) and you made a very elegant window. In my humble opinion, this is very suitable for a small display (7 to 10'') but, personaly, me and my 15'' touchscreen would prefer to get something very more discrete...

Do not loose your time to work only for me. I am very pleased but I can modify the size of fonts if I find those too big :p

What do you mean by OSD plugins ? Goom and others ? You can already remove those in the skin settings...

This is a really good start on creating a touch screen skin for XBMC. In a future update would it be possible to add a view in the music category that includes a "play" "queue," and "info" button next to each song/track in an album? It would make it easy to navigate without extra button presses or using "tap and hold" (right click) if your touchscreen driver doesn't support it.



I'm not sure if you've ever heard of XLobby but it is a HTPC software that worked really well with touch screen devices and it had skins that implemented what I suggested.

This could also help with the lack of having specific touchscreen driver and your touchscreen can operate as a HID device. Then you wont have to rely on a "tap and hold" (right click) type of option to navigate on your touch screen device.

Thanks a lot and hope I'm making sense.

Hi virtualhours,
Thanks very much for this skin, I have already made a maximum of test, and I enjoy it !!!
The 'big' problem I found out, is that I can't exit the Slideshow, without a keyboard, I have read all the thread, and I don't find any complaint about that do u have an issue for this?

Thanks,

Bzibilsk

[LoloMc²]

Hi Bzibilsk,
If you do not see any complaint, that's because there is a very good reason ! Virtualhours can not do anything as there is a need for C++ code.
Have a look here, here, or even here for a workaround with python script.
If you want to get this issue solved, write something to the developpers. It is true that they will not do it because you request them, but for sure they will not do it if nobody request it (or if I am the only one to request it !)

Rgs,

[virtualhours]

now we will have a horizontal menu - is this nice? or not?




the beneficial: the touchscreen users will come in pleasurable of the different backgrounds of the different menu points!

[Digby Dude]

Hi All,

I am running Beta 6 and it seems to work well ;-) I will continue testing ;-)

As for the horizontal menu, I am not sure about it... it is easier and quicker with a touchscreen to be able to select and item without having to scroll for it...

Just my 2 cents...

Thanks,

Adam

P.S.Can anyone provide me with any ideas re this:
http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php...ouchscreen

I am stuck on version SVN 22278 on Linux

[LoloMc²]

now we will have a horizontal menu - is this nice? or not?

This are my personnal tastes, ok ?
I never loved the buttons you choose on the main screen. I honestly always prefered original ones coming from PMIII.
So, of course, I prefer this horizontal menu (just a single note, your arrows should be transparent also instead of being "completely" blue)

BUT !

I believe the original menu is more intuitive for my grandmother...

So, I am sorry to be so useless for your decision

Rgs,

BTW : I am not at home this week, so sorry but I can not try beta6.
I hope to be at home next sunday
