Loading bar and hiding labels (1 Viewer)

[keith2045]

Few questions.....

In my context menu i'm going to have an option that will take a while to perform, how can i get MP to display the loading circle when it is processing?

Also is it possible to hide the label attribute value via the skin file? For example if it is showing thumbnails i dont want the label attribute to show, but if it is showing via the list view i do.

Hi Keith,

You can place an animation in your skin, like so (from the StreamedMP Moving Picutres skin)

	<control>
      <description>Working Animation</description>
      <type>animation</type>
      <id>13</id>
      <posX>561</posX>
      <posY>350</posY>
      <width>157</width>
      <height>24</height>
      <textures>common.waiting.1.png;common.waiting.2.png;common.waiting.3.png;common.waiting.4.png;</textures>
      <Duration>0:0:03</Duration>
      <keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>
    </control>

Then just toggle the visible property to show/hide it. I don't think it will be possible to display it *on* your context menu, if that's what you were going for.


For your second question, I know it's possible to not display labels in thumbnails view, but display it in listview, because that's how many skins work with Moving Pictures. I don't know how to do it though. You might get better luck with that one over here: Skins - MediaPortal Forum
