Help with a mod please (1 Viewer)

Hopefully someone can show me where i've gone wrong with my mod of filmstrip view in movingpictures

In the view below, the fanart changing is a little buggy, when entering movingpictures the 1st movie fanart shows fine, when i move to the next movie, the fanart doesnt change, then when movingto the next movie it will briefly show the fan art from the previous movie that did not show and then flick to the correct current movie, the next movie the fanart will again change correctly but then on the next one again it does the same, doesnt show until you move accross one more where it will flash the previous movie fanart then change to the current correct one.

That probably wont make any sense so i've included the file, if someone can look at it to see what i've done wrong it would be much appreciated.

this is the section of code I changed

<control>
<description>Fan Art</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>60</id>
<posX>650</posX>
<posY>130</posY>
<width>550</width>
<height>309</height>
<texture>#MovingPictures.Backdrop</texture>
<visible>facadeview.filmstrip+control.isvisible(50)</visible>
<animation effect="fade" time="250" delay="0">WindowClose</animation>
</control>

just changing

<texture>#MovingPictures.Coverart</texture>
to
<texture>#MovingPictures.Backdrop</texture>

Which kind of half works.

Thanks

Hello!
This MOD looks really nice! But which fanart does not change correctly? The big one in the back or the small one in the foreground?
I attached a slidely modified .xml which you may wanna test. Tell me if it works. =)
Thanks!

Thanks, its the little one at the front, big background one works fine

Will check yours out soon

Thanks


Same thing with your xml holzi

Snapped a quick vid on my phone so it's easier to see whats going on better than my poor description

Shangostar,

Try using this code to load the backdrop:

    <control>
      <description>Fan Art</description>
      <type>image</type>
      <id>60</id>
      <posX>650</posX>
      <posY>130</posY>
      <width>550</width>
      <height>309</height>
      <texture>[COLOR="Red"]#MovingPictures.SelectedMovie.backdropfullpath[/COLOR]</texture>
      <keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>
      <visible>facadeview.filmstrip+control.isvisible(50)</visible>
      <animation effect="fade" time="250" delay="0">WindowClose</animation>
    </control>

I tried it on my setup and it worked fine.

Thats the one mercury, works perfect, much appreciated, can go on and do tv series now. Then have a crack at some slide animations (stand by for another help request on that one )

Thanks Holzi for your efforts too.

Hi,

your MOD is looking very nice! Can you provide all files wich are neded for it?

 

[ltfearme]

Before you ask, the corresponding TVSeries property for current fanart is: #TVSeries.Current.Fanart

thanks, no doubt that would have had me stumped.

Few obstacales with releasing it, one being that I've done it all by trial and error and I'm pretty sure most of the changes I have made are probably wrong even though they appear to work and may well have broken things elsewhere in the skin and many changes I made that didn't work may not have been put back.

The other one is that I started out with the intension of copying the XBMC skin Aeon MQ3 views, one because I like the skin and two because I needed a target in mind, something I was aiming for.
I'm not sure on skin porting/copying etiquette but due to it being a copy I think it would only be right to have the Aeon authors approval if it were to be released as a mod.

I wasn't intending to make a mod for sharing, it's just a learning exercise for myself. Never expected to get anything that was usable to be honest.

The other thing is there will most likely be bugs in it that will be pointed out and I wont know how to fix them

Shangostar, you shouldn't worry about sharing your MOD. If there are issues, people on the forum would be more than willing to help and provide suggestions to better improve. That is what happened to me. I never did anything of this sort before, but suggestions for members kept me going and improving.


Regards
