TheStretchedElf Wrote:Hmm, that code is there, yes, but I never saw any album information without altering the code later on. Perhaps it's because of this visibility condition "<visible>Skin.HasSetting(PosterPlus)</visible>" - what is "PosterPlus"? Presumably my skin didn't have this toggled to on.PosterPlus condition is trigger when you select PosterPlus Option under Viewtype Options in the Window Option for the View. This condition is used in the animation were the dvd box moves to left and additional info appear. So if you have this option selected all the additional info plus animation should take place, that includes the "review".
Shame about the bug. Somewhat related, is there any way to reverse the BookPlus animation when the user navigates to another album? The delayed animation "in" looks fantastic, but when I navigate to another album the BookPlus elements simply disappear, and in fact for a split second the information displayed is actually for the album you are navigating to. Not sure if it it's possible or how to do it if it is as I'm a skinning noob.
Anyway, thanks again for a great skin. I'm currently tinkering with a copy of the audiobook view trying to find a good way to handle radio shows.
Keep up the good work!
p.s. one other question I have is, is it possible to use this view from the music submenu? The view can be used if I launch the Audiobooks playlist as a custom home playlist but not if I launch it as a custom music submenu playlist (which is where I'd prefer it as I plan on renaming Music to Audio and having Audiobooks and Radio Shows as submenu playlists).
KiSUAN Wrote:Yes it would be possible to use it at custom music submenu playlist, I didn't make it so because it would also be available in other music views, and do to the ratio of the covers is not a view intended for music albums, and could create conflicts with other views or selected views. Tomorrow I'll explain you how to o it if you want.Please, if you would. Audiobooks and Radio Shows are the only "music" type files I have in XBMC so there'd be no cover ratio conflicts here.
