A little help ? (1 Viewer)

[wizard123]

Hi wizard
add
using MediaPortal.GUI.Library;
if u haven't done so

Hi thanks but i already have that see above post

 

[wizard123]

I think it may have been missing the brackets from

public void SetProp

to
public void SetProp()

Unless i'm way off there i'm a c# noob

Ah sorry there should be brackets in the name void SetProps() Yes
After that it should compile but wll not work in MP > 1.2.0 due to compatibility info missing

 

[wizard123]

Wow can't believe i was right there lol, thank you.
Do you mind if i post a few questions as i'm going ? like i can set the image in that code you just gave me but can i have the location as a folder full of images and have them change randomly after x amount of time ?

I added the compatibility stuff in the assembly info is that ok ?

Hi again

can i have the location as a folder full of images and have them change randomly after x amount of time ?

Yep, but you do not need a plugin at all (I think)

Yep, it's right
Also you can catch me on IRC in #mediaportal, #mp-tvseries, #moving-pictures etc

Multiimage controls are no good because they do not have the ability to add masks or zoomfromtop tags which is why i wondered if i could use a normal image control but set the #picture to be a folder with random selection ? in essence it would have the same effect as a multiimage control but i would be able to use the missing features i need.

 

[wizard123]

I've built the plugin and mediaportal loads ok with it but the image is not visible

 

[mrj]

Hi
You need to call the SetProp() method somewhere, for example in the OnClicked(...) method
Then the Picture will be seen when you click on one of the buttons.

Thanks @mrj i really appreciate the help. Would you have any ideas on how to make the image that is displayed get chosen at random from a folder and change every say 1minute or so.
