Hi Guys, I know this may be a stupid question but is there anyway I can play my local stored trailers in the play trailer option from Context Menu rather than using a You Tube Link ?

Any ideas would be helpful

Thanks

Hey Mikesilvo

I managed to get the white theme working on silvo and looks great

Below are the files you need and once unzipped put these in your skin folder in the media and colour directories respectively and then go into settings and change theme to white and colour to white and bravo, it's just a matter of then making your own small adjustments to your taste, have a try and see what you think....

Hi all,

Could anyone help me with this? I'd like to get rid of the spinning CD-art in the full screen music visualisation, and then have the cover/album art allign to the right.

Is this possible?

Thanks...!

[mikeSiLVO]

Yes you're quite right a difficult one indeed. How about something like the below? It's just a quick photoshop I knocked up.

Could have shuffle on appear only when shuffle is enabled, then also repeat all / repeat one when repeat is enabled. It doesn't look too out of place and sort of blends with rest of the text but enough to know it's on / off.

Not a bad idea, the only issue would be scrolling when the layout is not centered...

Not exactly what you want but if you open MusicOSD settings and select the options in pic #2. Pic #3 is what it should look like. I can add an option to just hide the CD instead of hiding both the album cover and CD at the same time

That'd be awesome, cause I like the album art, just not the round spinning cd

On Git now . Let me know if you find any issues.

Does the track data scroll? I thought it was static in all the views. Not really too sure what else to do, text would deffo be better in my eyes.

Only other option I can think of is symbols either side of the star rating.

I'm pretty sure I missed something but I don't see any new options :S I replaced the two xml files and the strings.io, but no difference...... What am I doing wrong haha?

Never mind, it showed up after a firm reboot ;-)

Is it correct that the album-cover AND cd-r disappear? I kind of expected the option to hide only the rotating cd-r, but leave the album cover in place, and 'slide' it to allign it right?

It scrolls if it is too long. Will play around a bit and see what comes of it.

Something wrong with the way your doing it then. You should delete the whole skin folder, just follow the install instructions in the FAQ on the first page.
If you aren't using English then the Album & CD one may still be translated using the old one instead of the updated string. Will be updated in the next language sync or two.

Yeah, it works now, sorry.

Only thing I found (it's also shown on your screenshot) is that the album cover is missing a small portion on the right side....

[mikeSiLVO]

That is because of the diffuse used for the album cover image. Will stay that way cause I do not want to add another image control for something so minor. You can either delete the image "thumbs/cdcover_mask2.png" from the media folder if you do not care about it seeing on the Now Playing Music Widget also. Otherwise deleting the diffuse attribute on the texture tag of the album image control will make it look square.

The album image control is in MusicVisualisation.xml and looks like this:

Code:

<control type="image">
    <description>Cover image</description>
    <width>550</width>
    <height>550</height>
    <aspectratio align="right">keep</aspectratio>
    <texture diffuse="thumbs/cdcover_mask2.png" fallback="DefaultAlbumCover.png">$INFO[Player.Art(thumb)]</texture>
    <bordertexture border="28">thumbs/cd_shadow2.png</bordertexture>
    <bordersize>28</bordersize>
    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HideMusicVizAlbum)</visible>
</control>

Hello Mike!

In the last week or so that I have been testing music changes in Krypton I have been using this skin exclusively. A few issues I have noticed:

1. if you select "Random Movies Fanart" or "Random video fanart" or "Random fanart" as a background for a menu item, no fanart for movies is ever shown, it is always black for a movie. By the way, thank you for adding the name in the bottom left corner, sweet detail!

2. If you select "Mixed" as a widget type, and select "Recommended Episodes" as Widget 3, you cannot navigate between episodes (pressing up or down) in that widget. The other two widgets are fine. I know perhaps this is a question for Mr. V rather than you.

And a feature request, could you add "Widget 1 fanart" and "Widget 2 fanart" as choices for the background for menu items? It is really convenient and one of the features I miss from MadNox.

As always Mike, stellar work on the skin and support, and thank you for looking into my issues/request.

Regards,

Bart
