Wow Lightning303 it took a little time before I can test your BlackBar Detection Edition V02. And all I can say is wow. It works like a charm.

Thanks for testing!
I also have a new version .
I added settings to the configuration and you can enable/disable blackbar detection from the context menu now.
Its setup to scan the picture every x miliseconds, where x can be defined in the configuration. If you want to scan every frame just put in a 1.

Hey, lightning
if you have time, can you use the language class from mp ?

Can you point me to that class? I have looked in the MediaPortal source, but only found the GUILocalizeStrings class. And either im dumb, or it is just for MP localization. I also checked other plugins and they all use their own classes for language control.
Also, what would be the benefits? Apart from saving a few kB space.

you think every plugin use their own class ?

hum, i don't know if actually, if strings are missing from language set in MP, it show missing string from english.

in
Text Label Control section.
but for now, it's not the urgency.
i test your version blackbar v03. with 10ms of scan. non issue yet on this feature.

About Atmowin reconnection from resume ( tested with atmowinchecker, set for don't start Atmowin after resume), i must check 2 times play vidéo, for have Atmowin work. but at least no more freeze of Atmowin.

MovingPictures
MPTVSeries
OnlineVideos
Trakt

Again, if you can tell me which class you mean, and maybe even show me an example, i can see what i can do. But i have not seen this magic class yet .[DOUBLEPOST=1401137792][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thats in the Skin section . AtmoLight has no skin.
Double post so you see my answer.

Ok,

@legnod, @HomeY, @Baserunner
pinging you, to make sure that the people who seemed interessted know where i will continue to post .

So i did some reading and coding. After my first approche did not work out because of timing issues, i think i now got it.
Im able to load a gif and send it to AtmoWin. I used http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs12/f/2006/302/2/2/PlasmaStorm3.gif to do my tests.
With the original image (600x300) the whole process takes ~20ms per frame on my old and slow laptop. When i resize it manually before hand to 64x48 it only takes up to 5ms, which seems ok.
At the moment i dont seem to be able to read the framerate from the gif, so i hardcoded it to 25. No testversion yet, as stuff is hardcoded, but if somebody wants to test it by compiling the code himself, go ahead.

And a little video

For your info: I didn't receive that ping so not sure if others got it (we might have an issue with the alert system). But following this thread.

Ok,
so how many gifs would you guys actually use?
Is it enough for me to add support for 1 gif, or do you need more than that? And i mean really need it, not wanting to show it of to friends or something like that ;P.
