A better layout for Online Vidoes? (1 Viewer)

[zicoz]

Hi, I'm looking to change the Big Icon layout for the Online Videos plugin to something that looks a bit more like the Boxee layout. The current layout seems to be a bit off with the icons being squished so they look a bit weird, and the preview window that's not in use.

I'm looking to turn this:



Into something similar to this: Only with the icons being square instead of rectangular



I imagine that "all" that needs to be done is to change location and size of the windows, and delete the preview window tag, is this correct? If so what file do I change?

When all skin engine patches are implemented in MP an updated layout will be made for some views in Maya. So lets hope that will happen soon.

Hmm ok, so if I understand you correct we'll see some changes post 1.2.0?

Yep! But only minor though

Which ones are still outstanding? I will nudge people

I presume the ability to add expressions via the skin engine e.g.

Set a different aspect ratio in iconlayouts when using iTunes trailers in Online Videos:

<thumbHeightBig>#iif(#eq(#OnlineVideos.selectedSiteUtil, ITMovieTrailers), 310, 166)</thumbHeightBig>
<thumbWidthBig>221</thumbWidthBig>

Wouldn't that be cool?

or maybe joostzilla has other plans...he did say minor afterall.

Ok thanks

But what if I'd like to try doing some modification to this myself? What file would I have to edit? Is there a specific file for Big Icon Online Video view, or is there one Bic Icon view that's used for many plugins?

Especially the thumb mask feature in thumbviews and filmstrip just like in coverflow. And more controllable perspective in coverflow. Offcourse the new music section features will be included to in Maya.

This is done isn't it? (0003180: Image masking not implemented in Thumbnail or Filmstrip views - MediaPortal Bugtracker)

And more controllable perspective in coverflow.

Is there a patch submitted for this? Don't remember seeing anything for this

Offcourse the new music section features will be included to in Maya.

Just have to get the stuff working now..... also speaking of which I have a skin file for the new dialog for last.fm love/ban for Maya I created for testing. I will attach this when I get to the other machine

Great skin , but the layout of OnlineVideos is very pure.

The presented boxee layout must be doable ,since when switched to big icons using Monochrome or Blue3 it looks almost alike.


Please update the layout of OnlineVideos plugins.
