Customize My videos (1 Viewer)

[Mads22]

Hi,

i want to customize the "my videos" view. How can i do the following:

a) change background picture for every list item - especially folders. I know, if ic place a picture in the same folder as the recording is (and name them exactly the same), this picture is shown in the preview window on top left if i focus the corresponding list item. can i place a second picture, e.g. named recordingfile_background.jpg..., so it will replace the background picture?

b) how can i change the width and heigt and the top and left pos of the item list in the my videos view? I cann not find the corresponding entries in the xml file.

Thanks in advance,

Mads from Germany

A) you have to use the fanart handler plugin features. Just add a jpg file to the fanart pool managed by the fanart handler plugin, with the same name of the selected item.
B) the code is in the imported common facade xml file.

Hi Tgx,

thank you very much,

a) works perfectly, great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

b) i still don't understand how can i change the width and heigt and the top and left pos of the item list in the my videos view. I see that in the myvideos.xml is a reference to facade xml but i don't know how i can change the coordinates. Can you help me and point me to the right key/values?

Thanks in advance

See the "posX" and "posY" attributes for the "listcontrol" control.

Just one question related with this thread.

I'am working on my little project https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/submit-movie-info-grabbers-287/fix-imdb-aka-grabber-80425/index11.html#post630778

and it's working perfect with Black Glass Skin 2.5 but not in Black Glass Nova 1.2.
Problem is that on database view (Title, Genre, Year...) fanart doesn't work as in Black Glass 2.5. So i just checked differences between myvideoTitle.xml on both skin and found that

<define>#useSelectedFanart:Yes</define>

is missing in Black Glass Nova. So I just put that tag in myvideoTitle.xml like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <window>
<id>25</id>
<defaultcontrol>50</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>[facadeview.list|facadeview.smallicons|facadeview.largeicons|facadeview.album|facadeview.playlist|facadeview.filmstrip]</allowoverlay>
<define>#header.label:#view</define>
<define>#useSelectedFanart:Yes</define>
<define>#header.background:hover_my videos.png</define>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>


and now it's ok on both share and database view, so I just ask is this a bug or is this missing for a reason.
