Mod Estuary MOD V2 - KODI 18 (UPDATED 17/01/19)
(2019-08-29, 15:45)TimeZone Wrote: 1. MPAA icons. I used the icons shared by @Wanilton via google drive. Google drive link.
2. Piece of code to show the icons. I adapted the HOW TO shared by @the_other_guy in the KODI forum here. But had to modify it to fit into this skin. The exact code I used is below.
xml :

<include content="MediaFlag">
                    <param name="texture" value="$INFO[$PARAM[infolabel_prefix]ListItem.Mpaa,special://skin/extras/Mpaa/,.png]" />
                    <param name="visible" value="!String.IsEmpty($PARAM[infolabel_prefix]ListItem.Mpaa)" />
                    <param name="top" value="5" />
                </include>
Procedure:
1. Download and extract resource.images.mpaa.color-1.0.1.zip from GDrive
2. Rename the icons you would like to use exactly as the rating method used in your KODI system. This folder contains different rating methods e.g US, Australia, UK etc. I don't suppose your system is using all the rating methods, choose your method/icons. I am using the US icons.
3. I had to crop out the white space in the US icons to make them bigger in KODI, otherwise, the text is small with a lot of white space surrounding it. Download the already cropped icons below if interested.
4. Put all these icons in one folder called Mpaa. Rename each icon if you did not do so in step 2. Example, Rated PG is different from Rated-PG and PG. If your system is using all these different rating styles to mean PG rating you need 3 icons for each PG rating (You need 3 copies of the same icon with different names, Rated PG.png, Rated-PG.png and PG.png). If your system is consistent lets say it sticks to Rated PG, Rated G, Rated R etc with no repetition for each rating then you need only one icon for each rating. Inconsistency in rating styles results if you change scrappers, otherwise your system should stick to one.
5. Copy your Mpaa folder with properly named icons to skin.estuary.modv2\extras folder.
6. Copy the above code and paste in Includes.xml. The exact location to paste is in between other MediaFlags. This will keep the structure, if you paste outside of other MediaFlags, your skin may become distorted. Mine is after the Studio logo flag and before the Media source flag.
7. If you want to paste in the same location as mine. Open Includes.xml in a text editor search and find "flags/hdtv.png" without quotes (this is the flag for HDTV Media Source). Paste the code required above just before the code below.
8. You are all done. Refresh the skin or restart KODI to display your MPAA ratings.

  paste just above this
xml   :

<include content="MediaFlag">
                    <param name="texture" value="flags/hdtv.png" />
                    <param name="width" value="71" /> ....

Thanks for the fast and detailed response.

I didn't manage to get it to work though, and noted the following.

1. The drive link does not contain images.  is that a repo zip file?
2. Do the files have to be called PG.png or just PG exactly?
3. There are multiple places with hdtv.png, however I assume it's the first one which looks to be the control type grouplist for the include "MediaFlags", as opposed to MediaFlagsOSD.

So I did this with an image of my own, and it made no difference.  Could you confirm the above, and I can try again.

Many thanks!
