**UPDATE**

Hi Everyone Big Grin

Id like to share the mod i made to the shelfcase view. Ive modded the shelf to be smaller so more titles get shown on screen plus more room for fanart to show.

This works with both MQ6 and MQ7 and updated for MQ8 Leia. Thanks to original author of shelfcase view Smile

There will be a little editing of xml files not too difficult, ill provide instructions below.

Without further ado heres how it looks Cool

Instructions - MQ8 Leia

1. Open file customviewsvideo.xml

Use search for word shelf you should see code like following

xml:
<include content="viewsselector_item">

                    <param name="id" value="63" />

                    <param name="label" value="31809" />

                    <param name="view" value="viewshelf" />

                    <param name="type" value="video" />

                    <param name="visible" value="![String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),episodes) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),years) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),programs)]" />   

                </include>

Under that paste the following and save file

xml:
<!-- Shelfcase Mod -->

                <include content="viewsselector_item">

                    <param name="id" value="74" />

                    <param name="label" value="Shelf Case" />

                    <param name="view" value="viewshelfcase" />

                    <param name="type" value="video" />

                    <param name="visible" value="![String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),episodes) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),years) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),programs)]" />   

                </include>

2. Open file includes.xml and search for shelf again should see following line

xml:
<include file="ViewShelf.xml" /><!-- 63 -->

Under that paste the following

xml:
<include file="ViewShelfCase.xml" /><!-- 74 Shelfcase mod -->

3. Next open file MyVideoNav.xml and search for views should see following line

xml:
<views>51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74</views>

Add the number 74 to the end

Next search shelf again should see the following

xml:
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(viewshelf_video)">ViewShelf</include>

Under that paste the following

xml:
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(viewshelfcase_video)">ViewShelfCase</include><!-- Shelfcase mod -->

4. Finally download the ViewShelfCase.xml file here. Right click save as. https://pastebin.com/dl/A5qfskWJ

Note: In the save as dialog box, click on the drop down arrow where says text file and select All Files and save the file as ViewShelfCase.xml

Make sure its saved as ViewShelfCase.xml and not viewshelfcase.xml

5. Place the ViewShelfCase.xml inside the xml directory in the MQ8 skin folder.

6. Reboot box or change skin and go back to MQ8 to refresh skin. Go to change views and enable Shelf Case

***Old Versions Below***

<onclick condition="!Skin.HasSetting(viewshelfcaselow_video)">Skin.SetString(setviewvideo,73)</onclick>

<onclick condition="!Skin.HasSetting(viewshelfcaselow_video) + Skin.HasSetting(clickactivateview_video)">back</onclick>

</control>

Next open file includes.xml Search for word shelf again. You should see following

Code:
<views>51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,73</views>

Add the number 73 at the end. Next search for the word shelf again you should see the following line:

Code:
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(viewshelf_video)">ViewShelf</include><!-- 63 -->

Under that paste the following line:

Code:
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(viewshelfcaselow_video)">ViewShelfCaseLow</include><!-- 73 --><!-- ShelfCase Low Mod -->

Finally download the following file and place it in the 720p or 1080p folder. Right click save as.

ViewsShelfCaseLow.xml 720p
ViewsShelfCaseLow.xml 1080p

Important: When the save as dialog appears make sure to click on the (save as type) drop down menu from text document to all files.
Then add the extension .xml to the end of the ViewsShelfCaseLow filename. When the file is downloaded Right click and select properties to ensure that it saved as xml file and not txt.

Instructions - MQ7

Repeat the instructions for MQ6 above but replace every number of 73 to 74

Download the following image thumb_shelf_reflect_case.png and place it in the media folder of the skin. Make sure its named as thumb_shelf_reflect_case.png

Finally download one of the following file and place it in the 1080p folder. Right click save as.

ViewsShelfCaseLow.xml (Disc shows on top of case)

Are you sure you are marking the bluray movie folders on your collection with: "Movie Name (year) - BLURAY" ?

toutoune290 · 2016-08-31, 07:42

Just rechecked the file and bluray covers showing fine on my system. Does your movies have bluray in the file name?. If they dont can you try testing adding a movie with bluray in the name of the movie file.

Thanks

Can you give examples of how your Bluray and DVD movies are named. I could alter the code to show the cases if there's other words in filename. Eg if there's a HD in your filename I could use that to show Bluray case.

Thanks

Hello, all of my movies have cases in other views, mkv, more and also some Bluray Iso.
For example, Blood Diamond.iso, Evasion.iso, Amazonia.iso and more and more in Mkv. If you can change Something to have cases in all of them, it will be nice. The name as you can see have the good extension name at the top of the jacket but no cases around! So mistake for me. Thanks a lot
