[Mod] New Movie View
#1
This adds a new movie view option. It also works for TV shows + episodes, but IMO looks rather crappy. I have no idea what it will look like on your screen, as I am testing on a 4:3 monitor. Quite likely you may have to play around with the fonts and layout. Nod

Feel free to do whatever you want with the files, layout, etc. Hopefully someone else can make it look better Rofl

You will need to change 3 files Shocked, but you can download here Laugh:

http://rapidshare.com/files/391600539/MyVideoNav.xml
http://rapidshare.com/files/391600564/Viewtype_Rack.xml

Another option is to make the changes yourself to 2 of the files and only download Viewtype_Rack.xml.

1. Open Includes.xml

find
Code:
<includes>
    <!-- File includes -->
    <include file="Defaults.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Episode.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Poster.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_PictureGrid.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_JukeBox.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_MusicWall.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_List.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Landscape.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Fanart.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Files.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Showcase.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_MusicShowcase.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_PanelLandscape.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Banner_Panel.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Songs.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_16x9.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Wall.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_WallPanel.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Shelf.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_addons.xml" />
    <include file="Includes_MediaFlags.xml" />
    <include file="Includes_Animations.xml" />
    <include file="Includes_Trailer.xml" />
    <include file="Includes_Objects.xml" />
    <include file="Includes_Backgrounds.xml" />
    <include file="IncludesHomeRecentlyAdded.xml" />
    <include file="Includes_Music_Global.xml" />
    <include file="IncludesCodecFlagging.xml" />
    <include file="IncludesHomepageWeatherWidget.xml" />
    <include file="Includes_Home_Horizontal.xml" />

add this line to the end
Code:
    <include file="Viewtype_Rack.xml" />

2. open MyVideoNav.xml

A. find
Code:
<!--Alaska-->

<window id="25">
    <defaultcontrol always="true">50</defaultcontrol>
    <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
    <views>50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,592,597</views>
    <controls>

add ,666 to the end so it is now

Code:
<!--Alaska-->

<window id="25">
    <defaultcontrol always="true">50</defaultcontrol>
    <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
    <views>50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,592,597,666</views>
    <controls>

B.then find

Code:
        <include>Viewtype_Showcase</include><!--  58  -->
        <include>Viewtype_Files</include><!--  55  -->
        <include>Viewtype_Poster</include><!--  50  -->
        <include>Viewtype_Fanart</include><!--  56  -->
        <include>Viewtype_List</include><!--  53  -->
        <include>Viewtype_Landscape</include><!--  52  -->
        <include>Viewtype_Episode</include><!--  51  -->
        <include>Viewtype_16x9</include><!--  59  -->
        <include>Viewtype_Wall</include><!--  54  -->
        <include>Viewtype_PanelLandscape</include><!--  57  -->
        <include>Viewtype_BannerPanel</include><!--  592  -->
        <include>Viewtype_WallPanel</include><!--  592  -->

add this line to the end

Code:
        <include>Viewtype_Rack</include><!--  666  -->

C. This takes out the fullscreen background fanart in this view mode. Find

Code:
        <control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <texture background="true">$INFO[Fanart.Image]</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <fadetime>400</fadetime>
            <include>Animation_BackdropFade</include>
            <visible>![IsEmpty(Fanart.Image) | Control.IsVisible(59) | Control.IsVisible(54) | Control.IsVisible(57) | Control.IsVisible(56) | Control.IsVisible(592) | Control.IsVisible(597)]</visible>
        </control>
        <control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <fadetime>400</fadetime>
            <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)]</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <include>Animation_BackdropFade</include>
            <visible>![Skin.HasSetting(hidefanart) | Control.IsVisible(58) + !Skin.HasSetting(ShowcaseFanart) | Control.IsVisible(54) | Control.IsVisible(59) | Control.IsVisible(56) | Control.IsVisible(57) | Control.IsVisible(592) | Control.IsVisible(597)]</visible>
        </control>

delete that and paste

Code:
        <control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <texture background="true">$INFO[Fanart.Image]</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <fadetime>400</fadetime>
            <include>Animation_BackdropFade</include>
            <visible>![IsEmpty(Fanart.Image) | Control.IsVisible(59) | Control.IsVisible(54) | Control.IsVisible(57) | Control.IsVisible(56) | Control.IsVisible(592) | Control.IsVisible(597) | Control.IsVisible(666)]</visible>
        </control>
        <control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <fadetime>400</fadetime>
            <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)]</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <include>Animation_BackdropFade</include>
            <visible>![Skin.HasSetting(hidefanart) | Control.IsVisible(58) + !Skin.HasSetting(ShowcaseFanart) | Control.IsVisible(54) | Control.IsVisible(59) | Control.IsVisible(56) | Control.IsVisible(57) | Control.IsVisible(592) | Control.IsVisible(597) | Control.IsVisible(666)]</visible>
        </control>

D. Last step takes out that splash background. find

Code:
        <control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <texture>special://skin/media/backdrops/curtains.png</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <include>Animation_BackdropFade</include>
            <visible>![Control.IsVisible(666) | Control.IsVisible(54) + [IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)) + IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)] ]</visible>
        </control>
        <!--<control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <texture>special://skin/media/backdrops/curtains.png</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <include>VisibleFadeEffect</include>
            <visible>!Control.IsVisible(54) + [IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)) + IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)]</visible>
        </control>-->

delete that and paste

Code:
        <!--<control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <texture>special://skin/media/backdrops/curtains.png</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <include>Animation_BackdropFade</include>
            <visible>![Control.IsVisible(666) | Control.IsVisible(54) + [IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)) + IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)] ]</visible>
        </control>
        <control type="largeimage">
            <include>Dimensions_Fullscreen</include>
            <texture>special://skin/media/backdrops/curtains.png</texture>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <include>VisibleFadeEffect</include>
            <visible>!Control.IsVisible(54) + [IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)) + IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)]</visible>
        </control>-->

Pretty cool, I kind of thought of a way to include a tagline but then some are those taglines are dated like so:

"1995 never felt so hot"
"This summer love never felt so wrong"
"This Christmas get ready to unwrap some laughs"

Those outdated taglines always make me laugh, anyways pretty cool mod Smile

I really like this view a lot, though the posters seem squarish when i look at them, im 1920x1200 (16x10) so that might be why (I don't know how to fix that either Sad

One other thing though to, can you make it an option to maybe only have 1 row of movies instead of 2 as well? Also could you center in the movie logo thats underneath the rating and all, kind of a large black area there and would look better to me anyway.

PS If you know how I can fix my problem with the kind of squarish posters let me know.
