Yes, good idea. Even if we don't include them in news, we can collect them in forum thread or skin/theme download description.

Also I'd like to see some videos about MP2, like the one @wizard123 created for MP1-Apollo. The more publicity, the better

I finally found a good and free screen recorder. I'll create a demonstrator video. But unfortunately without TV

EDIT, how can I enter by keyboard the hidden menu? There is nothing in WIKI about hidden menu and so far I always used mouse or remote. But for the video I need the keyboard ...

You can open it by "context menu" key (left to the right Strg key ), but only when not focus on a MediaItem.

This is btw. one of the issue we should solve, i.e. by placing a "button" on left side as we had in Titanium to be able to open it easier (and users know that there is actually a menu)

This does not work. I tried in "movies" and "series" section with and without focusing a MI.

Additionally the other Keyboard shortcuts lead to some unexpected behaviors:
Case 1) Pressing "M" from settings: Group Menu remains in Settings, In NavigationPanel should it be like this?

Case 2) Pressing M 3 times from Movies: In the NavigationPanel the Path is always added -> Intended?


I think it will be important to add a button for the Summer Release as you mentioned. Otherwise I see huge navigation issues with Keyboard.
You you think this can be realized?

Then it works.
Btw, the "DataContext" was used in the commented area below and my fault as "MediaItem"

Looks like this currently:


Only problem is, that the Rating is not part of https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...ine/SpecialElements/Controls/PlayerControl.cs

I used the MediaAspectWrapper, but the rating remains empty, as you see in the screenshot:

          <media:MediaAspectWrapper MediaItem="{Binding Source={StaticResource FanArtBackgroundModel},Path=MediaItem}" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2" Margin="20,5,20,5" >
            <media:MediaAspectWrapper.Template>
              <ControlTemplate>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,6,0,5">
                  <StarRatingPanel x:Name="RatingReadOnly" IsReadOnly="True" StarReadOnlyTemplate="{StaticResource StarReadOnlyTemplate}"
                                             Maximum="10"
                                             Value="{Binding TotalRating}">
                    <StarRatingPanel.LayoutTransform>
                      <TransformGroup>
                        <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.7" ScaleY="1.5"/>
                      </TransformGroup>
                    </StarRatingPanel.LayoutTransform>
                  </StarRatingPanel>
                </StackPanel>
              </ControlTemplate>
            </media:MediaAspectWrapper.Template>
          </media:MediaAspectWrapper>

Is there a plan to fill the PlayerControl with more data after MIA rework? Or is it possible referring to AspectWrappers and I just did a mistake?
I'm missing several information:

• Subtitle tracks and languages
• Audio tracks and languages
• Most other details, that are existing in AspectWrappers

I used the MediaAspectWrapper, but the rating remains empty, as you see in the screenshot:

This is correct to use the *AspectWrapper controls. It's their task to expose all properties of the Aspects for DataBinding. This also means that PlayerControl is not planned to be extended with other properties.

If you use it in CP screen and the outer control's DataContext is already set, you should change from FanartBackgroundModel to current DataContext:
from: MediaItem="{Binding Source={StaticResource FanArtBackgroundModel},Path=MediaItem}"
to: MediaItem="{Binding MediaItem}"

 

[ge2301]

from: MediaItem="{Binding Source={StaticResource FanArtBackgroundModel},Path=MediaItem}"
to: MediaItem="{Binding MediaItem}"

Star Rating remains empty. I tried to add DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" to the included StackPanel additionally, same result.

Hi.
I've played a bit with the new version and the settings. I really like the navigation when auto activating is disabled.

But there is a huge issue when using Remote only... You simply can not use this setting without a mouse attached to the HTPC for a simple and silly reason. When you've deactivated the "auto activation" of menu items and you're starting MP2 Client, no Item has focus and with a remote you're not able to put the focus on anything then. So for this you only see an empty screen with a menu and nothing else is possible to do...
We must be sure that one menu item (best would be the last active before MP2 Client was closed last time) has focus when starting MP2. Without this fix, the new setting is unusable with remote only.

 

[morpheus_xx]

I think the initial focus issue is solved in next build. I fixed the saving of settings.

CP screen is working now.

The main issue was to usage of DataContexts and the correct aspect wrappers (MovieAspect vs. MediaAspect). Changes are pushed now.
