displaying tv recording thumbs beside the description text? (1 Viewer)

[MoPhat]

Is there a way to show the thumb beside the description text on the bottom, instead in the selection himself?




thx

No one?

I think it's a good idea, but how do you call the thumbnail image? I've used your plugin to create a thumbnail which I can see in MyVideos but so far I haven't been able to get it to show in recorded TV. Any ideas?

My plugin, Thumnailer works great for the tv recordings on singleseat machines.
you can enable the fith path (TvRecordings) in settings for the tv thumbs.

...the only thing is, is there a way to get a image in a own picture element instead the one of the list or botj together?

I just added this at the bottom of mytvrecordedtv:

<control>
<description>Dummy Image</description>
<id>205</id>
<type>image</type>
<posX>2000</posX>
<posY>10</posY>
<width>1</width>
<height>1</height>
<texture>#selectedthumb</texture>
</control>
<control>
<id>204</id>
<type>image</type>
<posX>20</posX>
<posY>323</posY>
<width>260</width>
<height>180</height>
<texture>#selectedthumb</texture>
<visible>facadeview.list</visible>
</control>

Copied it from somewhere else - I am no skinner, so no idea, if it makes sense - but it is working.

I now get the TV-preview thumbs displayed, that are created by MP itself.

My version of your plugin doesn't look like that - in line five it just says "Folder 5". As far as I can tell I'm using the latest version though? I have pointed Folder 1 at a TV recording and it makes a thumbnail no problem.

hmmm.. I tried that code and nothing showed up for me It could be because I'm using ForTheRecord as my TV plugin though, I'm not sure. Unfortunately I can't use the standard TV plugin now that FTR is enabled so I'll have to play around with the code and then get a BleazleWide skin user to test it for me.

Hi Bleazle,
just tried testing it with your skin, but I can't, because I am running SVN Version (which changed especially the recorded section). Apart from that, it should be same procedure with FTR I assume.

Forgot one thing: You also have to import the "common.facade.recordings.xml" - which is not part of your skin (probably came with MP-SVN).

Good luck and appreciate the work on your skin!

(Attached find the files from Indigo Skin with Modification)

The tv-recording thumbs goes to a special folder.

Thanks for that info and attaching those files. After making those changes I can get an image to appear but it's just the channel logo but it sounds like you're getting a thumbnail from the selected TV programme? Can you take a screenshot of what you're getting?

...Good luck and appreciate the work on your skin!

Thanks - it's the little things like this feature (if I can get it to work!) which add the finishing touches

Thanks - got it, ran it but still no thumb showing in recorded TV - plus now it doesn't show a thumb in MyVideos either(?)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, for testing i edited the Monochrome skin file "mytvrecordedtv.xml" and enabled in the Thumbnail options to create the tv recording thumbs.

for me it works now... fine

But the MP own thumb creation is very slow and i dont know for the moment when is it created and where the location is...

good night
