I'm really loving this mod!
There was a small tweak that I wanted, so I attempted to make it myself, and I think I succeeded. I think this is in the list of things to add, so I thought I'd share. I know that my fix may be kind of dirty so please be gentle as it's my first time messing with XBMC skin modification in any capacity. I hope this helps someone else as I've been trying to figure this out on my own.
I watch 3D movies on my XBMC (OpenELEC) device and I wanted to have icons for 3D in the overlays for videos. So in the /720p/IncludesCodecFlagging.xml file, I added the following at line 37:
Of course, I added a small image for the 3D icon (flagging/video/3D.png) that I borrowed from another post on this forum (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...#pid906213). This seems to have worked well, but there are two issues that I still have with this:
1.) The icon for trailers (/media/flagging/trailers.png) now is stacked on top of other icons for certain films where there are numerous overlays. I tricked it into disappearing by renaming the file for now, but it's obviously a fix that is outside of my league.
2.) I'm rather fond of fanart view for movies, and I'd like to figure out a way to add the flagging/video/3d.png file at the end of the filename or add "(3D)" to the filename automatically.
3.) Clearly, the image doesn't match the others, but that's way out of my league
The reason why I would like this is because I have a Mitsubishi 3D DLP and I have to change a few settings to view my 3d .mkv files and while I know which movies are 3d, other people who use the machine don't.
Any help that might assist in clearing up these dilemmas would be great. Thanks again for all your hard work on this! It's excellent.
