[Request] Fanart2 (second fanart view)
#1
Hi,
I use the fanart view and I would love to see a fanart view that contained the plot, just move the name up a bit and put the plot underneath, something like this:

I know that the mediainfo view contains the plot but I prefer the look of the fanart view with the list over on the side.

What do you think? Would this be possible for the next version? I tried to do it myself but I couldn't figure out the skin language. Sad

I'd also like to have the plot/outline in the fanart viewSmile

i could do one of two things.

1. add an option to show the plot(outline) instead of the genre/year runtime info
2. add an 'infopanel' similar to the one in slide & item view.

Hi, thanks for the reply,

Hmm i'd like to keep the runtime/genre/year if possible.

Maybe something like this?

(or maybe the other way around with the plot outline above the genre/runtime/year info, maybe that would look better).
Would that fit?

not really, it just doesn't match the rest of the skin design.

added in svn.

Skin Settings > View options > Fanart - Movies - Plot outline

it will fall back to the full plot if no plot outline is available.

I was missing some details like plot outline so I've modified View-Fanart.xml myself.

I can share the code if anyone is interested.

Thanks ezechial for the new view, looks great.

I have two little problems:
1) I don't seem to have the Bluray covers any more, just the poster with nothing around it.
2) On some movies it puts a little trailer icon over the director/runtime (see pic)

I copied the xml files from your mediafire link above.

voochi: What what does your setup looks like?
trasparency skin - svn or 10.1?
xbmc - git or 10.1?
what's your display resolution and xbmc platform?

I'm using these files with svn transparency and xbmc git version just fine. Maybe there is a problem with older versions, so if you answer me the above I will check and try to fix it.
