default movie cover (1 Viewer)

[mrbonsen]

hi
had to test this scenario because I want skin design.
in the list view no problem a default cover define.
But where and how do I define in thumb / filmstrip / Coverflow view default thumb (facade)?
even absent, in (facade) listcontrol
(wiki I find nothing)
3 tested skin titan/streamed and default, no default cover.
Why is that, on the plugin moving pictures or MP ?
Please feedback, I need clarification so that I can continue to work

EDIT:
Pictures say more English than bad
screen1 movpic -> no default cover
screen 2 u. 3 myvideo -> default cover

No one understands my request?

or is already dead MP1 ?

Try asking in a forum thread for skin developers, most people visiting this one have no clue on skins at the level you need help with.

Thanks for an answer
no skin problem, then it would be easy
plugin or mp code

The plugin is responsible for setting the default thumbs on a facade. MovingPictures only sets the movie poster so if there is none you get no default.

A change would need to be made to set a default image if no poster is available. It would make sense for the plugin to by default load default images for all thumbs, then on a background thread load the posters into the thumbs if available...not only would this be better performance esp. for larger images (currently only the small images are loaded), you will also get default images.

But the quick fix would be, just return the default image when retrieving the poster if none is available.

  if (!listItems.ContainsKey(newMovie)) {
  GUIListItem currItem = new GUIListItem();
  currItem.Label = newMovie.DisplayTitle;
  currItem.IconImage = newMovie.CoverThumbFullPath.Trim();
  currItem.IconImageBig = newMovie.CoverThumbFullPath.Trim();
  currItem.TVTag = newMovie;
  currItem.OnItemSelected += new GUIListItem.ItemSelectedHandler(onMovieItemSelected);

  listItems[newMovie] = currItem;
  }

OK thanks.
I wanted to know skin designer can not do anything . . .
When you create a skin, I have found that.
often "default cover" loaded as well as wrong.
for example in a movie cover format (ThumbView/cover view) a square "default" (either died or rather I must put "centered" or "keepaspectratio") thumb is then loaded.
these small errors exist in almost all plugins - just this connection, I wanted to get an explanation.
have deliberately in all plugins and cover thumbnails removed to test.
now I know the context, it was important for me
screen is only 1 example (e.c. tv)
in List view and small icon view can be circumvented by addition problem defined cover.
but in cover and Cover Flow, it makes no sense to <type> Cover Flow </ type> one extra cover to be defined
hope Google Translator understood me
