Currently the default skin Estuary only shows the user track rating

I'd love it to show the overallrating(rating DB field) and the userrating(userrating db field)





Any skinners here know what I should be looking at? Seems like a trivial change to bring it up to par with how video works.

OK worked it out....

On line 127 of C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary\xml\Variables.xml

Code:

<value condition="String.IsEqual(listitem.dbtype,song)">$INFO[ListItem.Genre,[COLOR button_focus]$LOCALIZE[515]: [/COLOR],[CR]]$INFO[ListItem.Duration,[COLOR button_focus]$LOCALIZE[180]: [/COLOR],[CR]]$INFO[ListItem.Playcount,[COLOR button_focus]$LOCALIZE[567]: [/COLOR],[CR]]</value>

Change to:

Code:

<value condition="String.IsEqual(listitem.dbtype,song)">$INFO[ListItem.Genre,[COLOR button_focus]$LOCALIZE[515]: [/COLOR],[CR]]$INFO[ListItem.Duration,[COLOR button_focus]$LOCALIZE[180]: [/COLOR],[CR]]$INFO[ListItem.rating,[COLOR button_focus]Average Rating: [/COLOR],[CR]]$INFO[ListItem.Playcount,[COLOR button_focus]$LOCALIZE[567]: [/COLOR],[CR]]</value>

There are lots of little changes like this that would improve how Estuary presents music. It could be usefully raised as a PR (for the skinners to approve of course).

Yep thats the plan, i'm a bit confused about the translation system though but i'm sure I will work it out.

A little more progress I have managed to show the userrating next to the track length.

Add this after line 141 of the focucused container in C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary\xml\View_55_Widelist.xml

Code:

<control type="label">
    <visible>!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.UserRating)</visible>
    <left>40</left>
    <height>80</height>
    <right>130</right>
    <align>right</align>
    <aligny>center</aligny>
    <label>($INFO[ListItem.UserRating])</label>
    <textcolor>grey</textcolor>
    <shadowcolor>text_shadow</shadowcolor>
</control>

And then add this after line 171 to the unfocused container

Code:

<control type="label">
    <visible>!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.UserRating)</visible>
    <left>40</left>
    <height>80</height>
    <right>130</right>
    <align>right</align>
    <aligny>center</aligny>
    <label>($INFO[ListItem.UserRating])</label>
    <textcolor>grey</textcolor>
    <shadowcolor>text_shadow</shadowcolor>
</control>

Then you can remove the star rating from the album picture by deleting line 174-178 from view_50_list.xml

Code:

<control type="group">
    <left>273</left>
    <top>590</top>
    <include>UserRatingCircle</include>
</control>

Now to work out how to turn that into graphical stars

[docwra]

Ok last one today as i'm off to the pub

I couldn't quite work out how to show 5 horizontal stars with half ones for the rating, but I think its possible. I will settle for this for now:

Add this after Line 110 of includes.xml

Code:

<!-- User rating circle custom -->
    <include name="UserRatingCircle2">
        <param name="size">44</param>
        <param name="font">Font12</param>    
        <definition>
            <control type="group">
                <visible>!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.UserRating)</visible>

                <control type="image">
                    <width>$PARAM[size]</width>
                    <height>$PARAM[size]</height>
                    <aspectratio aligny="bottom">scale</aspectratio>
                    <texture colordiffuse="button_focus">overlays/circle.png</texture>
                </control>
                <control type="label">
                    <align>center</align>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <width>$PARAM[size]</width>
                    <height>$PARAM[size]</height>
                    <font>$PARAM[font]</font>
                    <textcolor>white</textcolor>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.UserRating]</label>
                </control>
            </control>
        </definition>
    </include>

Then replace the 2 edits from post 4 with this instead:

Code:

<control type="group">
    <left>1154</left>
    <top>26</top>
    <include content="UserRatingCircle">
        <param name="animation" value="False" />
    </include>
</control>

I updated it a bit to show the star ratings properly
