How do you disable the artist fanart in the visualizer? I want to see milkdrop / projectm.

I would be also interested in this... Thanks!

Nice changes, but im still missing the extrafanart path fix when playing music (no extrafanart appears from the artist in main menu)

In version 1.3.2 this was improved, in full screen I say. Main menu not have support to extrafanart.

Marcos, can you please give me a clear answer to the following 4 questions?:

1. will you implement the extrafanart for music artist in main menu like in MQ4?
2. Can clearlogo be shown in main menu when listening to music?
3. Artistinfo is not working properly in main menu. I have to rescan all ablums manually when listening to a album in order to recieve artist thumbnails and artist information in main menu. (no problems with this in MQ4).
4. Is there an option to disable the "next track" in main menu? (takes up way too much space as it is now)

Im listening to a lot of music with xbmc. The way Ace looks when listening to music its a downgrade of MQ4, rest of Ace is awesome!

I know you cant make the perfect skin for everybody but i would like to know if you going to keep it as it is or if you will change it.

If not then ill roll back to MQ4 (with sadness).

Hope to hear from you soon, thanks!

bump!

Movie title display bug

I have what appears to be a bug in displaying movie titles in I guess MyVideoNav for example Poster and Panel views in Movies submenu Title. When I scroll through the movies in the library the movie title, tagline, and some info is not displayed. In troubleshooting, I found this happens when the title is of the form "Say Anything..." and "Someone Like You..." the common thing is the title ends in "...".

So I tested by editing MyVideos75.db. What I found was that "Say Anything." works, but "Say Anything.." and "Say Anything..." do not. So it seems like having 2 or more period symbols "." causes Ace not to display properly. I did notice testing that when I first scroll to the movie I can see the title just flash really fast and seems like it is scrolling up and disappears. If I go to the movie info screen, that displays correctly. I also tested with "Say Anything." as title and "Say anything..." as original title, and when setting customization "show original title at top" the "Say Anything..." original title will show, so the problem seems to be triggered by the title entry in the db.

Missing title for Say Anything...



Displaying title for Say Anything.

The problem is caused by the parent folder name (..) that forces skinners to use certain restrictions. They don't want the title to be displayed when you go to the parent folder icon, 'cause that would just be a "..", therefore they use a command in a <visible> tag to not show the title if the name of the item contains two dots, something like:

Code:

!SubString(ListItem.Label,..)

Of course this means anything that has two or more dots on the title falls under this category. I think there are two ways to fix this, either add a ListItem.IsFolder:

Code:

![ListItem.IsFolder + SubString(ListItem.Label,..)]

or just use a StringCompare instead:

Code:

!StringCompare(ListItem.Label,..)

If you want to try it yourself, use a program such as Windows Grep to search the skin.ace\720p folder for the first term I mentioned, and replace all occurrences with one of the other two.

Icons and fanarts are already available, you only need to update the Extrapack.

I should have posted this in the help section...sorry.

Any way to add a custom icon.png to selected radio stations from Shoutcast?

For example, I have selected "BellyUp4Blues" as a favorite station from Shoutcast and have included it in "My Menu". But the icon is displayed as the default Shoucast icon, same as all other selected stations from shoutcast. I would like to change it to a custom icon representing BellyUp4Blues.

I found the .".\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.audio.shoutcast\.storage\my_stations.json" file but do not how to edit it, or even if it is possible.to add a custom icon/thumbnai for an individual station.

update: SOLVED !!

I found what I was looking for in the guisettings.xml file. I changed the icon.png to a custom image file I added.

Code:

<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subfav1.label">BellyUp4Blues - The Only Ass Kicking Blues Rocker  [128 kbps]</setting>
        <setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subfav1.icon">special://home/addons/plugin.audio.shoutcast/icon.png</setting>
        <setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subfav1.property">mymenu1</setting>
        <setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subfav1.submenu">on</setting>
        <setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subfav1.path">PlayMedia(&quot;plugin://plugin.audio.shoutcast/resolve_playlist/http%3A%2F%2Fyp.shoutcast.com%2Fsbin%2Ftunein-station.pls%3Fid%3D9460934&quot;,return)</setting>
