Feature Request: Link to Moving Pictures (1 Viewer)

[jimwin]

Hi there,

just started using both this plugin and Moving Pictures as an upgrade to My Videos.

I must say, that both plugins are BRILLIANT! and a big improvement over My Videos.

I've noticed that on Moving Pictures, they have added a link to TV Series on the menu, so you can move directly across. Would it be possible to add a similar link back to Moving Pictures from TV Series, as I find it really useful.

If this is done just in the XML files, I guess this could be done fairly easily?


Thanks for all your hard work developing this plugin, it's really good.

What skin do you use? I've never seen this link to MP-TV Series...

emphatic is right - that would be a skin thing...

sorry, forgot to mention. I'm using the default blue3 wide skin. So, would I just need to add an entry in one of the xml files to add the link?

Ok, I've not done any skinning at all, but I've looked into the moving pictures XML file I have for the blue3 wide skin.

This seems to be the section that creates the link to TV series.

<control>
<description>TV Shows</description>
<type>button</type>
<id>1000</id>
<hyperlink>9811</hyperlink>
<label>1300</label>
<onright>50</onright>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<onup>3</onup>
<visible>plugin.isenabled(MP-TV Series)</visible>
</control>

I guess I can put a similar <control> into the tv series xml file, but I can't see where to put it. I think it might be good in the context menu. Is anyone feeling generous enough to point me the right way?

I guess I have to change the code to something like:

<control>
<description>Moving Pictures</description>
<type>button</type>
<id>1000</id>
<hyperlink>96742</hyperlink>
<label>1300</label>
<onright>50</onright>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<onup>3</onup>
<visible>plugin.isenabled(Moving Pictures)</visible>
</control>

Only thing is, I've no idea what the <label> <onright> etc bits do!

the onrights is what xml it should go to when moving right on your remote/keyboard.
same goes for ondown and onup.

you are correct, create the button, set the hyperlink promprty and add the number of the page you wish to switch to.

Remove the onright, left, etc.. events, you do not need them, just leave it to default.
