Does not seem to work. Tried it in mytvschedulerserverSearch.xml, but no success.

A silly question... anyone knows how to test the new "smsKeyboard.xml" file?

Thanks

Hi TGX,
I am not at home, so can't verifiy, but if I remember right, the globalsearch plugin allows to choose between standard and sms keyboard in the setup - so I would assume it is using the one configured !?
However, I am not sure, if it's really launching the SMS kb or just changing the input method, because I never used it.

No, unfortunately it does not work. The plugin show only a white input bar.

Using the TV search feature, as far as i read from the forum, should show the sms keyboard, but on my pc it shows the standard keyboard.

Anyways, thank you for the hint!

EDIT: Found it! It's in TV -> Scheduled -> New -> Search by Title!
EDIT2: That's the old style sms input keyboard. Not working with the new sms keyboard.

This changes brakes my complete slideanimation in basichomescreen of "Fidelity" Skin.
Also if you change the skin inside MP (not over configuration) there are problems with the overlays then.

What exactly is to change now in the xml to get the animation working ok like it was before ??

I have look here:
Visiblechange Animations - MediaPortal Wiki

but it don´t tell me what is todo to get it working like it was.

View attachment BasicHome.xml
View attachment common.submenuespin.xml

does it works now in three parts of visible animation ?

<animation effect="fade" time="250">visiblechange</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">visible</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">hidden</animation>

If you want it to be like it was, change all the visiblechange animations to visible, as that is how visiblechange animations behaved before.

does it works now in three parts of visible animation ?

<animation effect="fade" time="250">visiblechange</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">visible</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">hidden</animation>

No, adding a visiblechange animation is the same as adding one visible and one hidden animation.

So,

<animation effect="fade" time="250">visiblechange</animation>

is the same as

<animation effect="fade" time="250">visible</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">hidden</animation>

Harley - The Visiblechange Animations - MediaPortal Wiki page does say:

... many skins have used visiblechange animations instead of visible animations. If they do not wish the hidden animation to process, then the animation type should be changed to visible

I added an example for BasicHome.xml to the XML examples section, since this is the most frequent case where the change is required. Let me know if that helps, or if there is something else we can add/change that would make it clearer.

Thanks for the feedback and help to make our docs as clear as possible.

... Many thanks, now i got it.
Sorry was a little bit stupid from me, so it is
no Problem to get it right running then.

NP Harley - we all know the experience when we have spent many hours developing a great skin design/feature and suddenly changes in MediaPortal ruin it all I can just imagine what you were saying when you saw your beautiful animated Basic Home in Fidelity did not work

I feel really stupid because I have no idea why I used visiblechange animations all through aMPed skin when they did not work any different than visible animations and I never even noticed - FOR TWO YEARS - DUH!

It's very humbling.

Anyway I hope it will all be an easy fix for you, because it sure is nice to have all our animations working correctly!
