Guys cool work..........
Can you please add below 2 features as I can't live without them and I can see many other people found it very useful..........
Feature Request 1:
- Ability to automatically change the background Fanarts within any Movies screens from the /extrafanart folder.
P.S: If this not possible to do at least please let me know what files I need to mod to make this happen and inject my mod to this cool skin.
Pros:
- This will give very cool content show-off feature to users
- Make use of the extrafanarts downloaded and automatically rotate via them within the movies screens
Tips:
Below is the code I am using to make this happen within the Confluence Skin and file I am using is "MyVideoNav.xml" and as per below background image within the Movies screens changing every 7 seconds.
Add below code to the MyVideoNav.xml within 720p folder below the line <include>CommonBackground</include>
Code:
Code:
<control type="multiimage">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<!--<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio> -->
<imagepath background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Path]/extrafanart</imagepath>
<timeperimage>7000</timeperimage>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<fadetime>1000</fadetime>
</control>
<control type="multiimage">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<imagepath background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Path]../extrafanart</imagepath>
<timeperimage>7000</timeperimage>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<fadetime>1000</fadetime>
<visible>Container.Content(episodes)</visible>
</control>
Feature Request 2:
My 5 five year old watch lot of kids movies and she always asking me to play the same movie again and again. In current Skin I don't have a way to display "Recently Watched" items on the Movies Sub Menu, It will be good to get access to this "Recently Watched" Movies and TV Show list from the Movies home screen via button as this is cool feature I am using almost everyday.
TIP:
What I am currently doing to resolve this issue as below and this will give you guys an idea.
- I have created a smart playlist called "RecentlyPlayed" and saved it in Videos's playlist folder
- Edited the "IncludesHomeMenuItems.xml" and linked the "Actors" control ID to the playlist called "Recently Viewed"
Code:
-<control id="90163" type="button">
<include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
<label>Recently Viewed</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,special://videoplaylists/RecentlyPlayed.xsp,return)</onclick>
