It's not intentional, but the list has the same height as other lists in the default plugins and supported plugins. You have to edit MesFilms.common.facade.xml and insert a height in this part of the XML:

		<control>
			<description>listcontrol</description>
			<type>listcontrol</type>
			<id>1026</id>
			<onleft>1026</onleft>
			<onright>6</onright>
			<unfocusedAlpha>100</unfocusedAlpha>
		</control>

The height (which is set in references.xml) is 400 px, so if you want one more item, I would try with around 450 or so...

Eh... You don't confuse my screenshot with the ones above because of the Kung Fu Panda, are you? I'm gonna set the height in movingpictures.common.facade.xml, right? Different plugin.

Hehe...got me there

But you're right... of course

BTW...you wrote something earlier about MyMusic covers...what's the deal with the covers? I'm bot sure what you mean

Pilehave,
Im trying to add a feature to your skin to allow you to set focus to the videowindow on the home screen. I modified the myhome.xml and added the <onright> command to set focus and that works fine. I can arrow over from the home window and select the videowindow and it returns to the playing video (or live TV either or.) The problem comes when I hit the green button (I use the MCE remote) and return to the home page, the exit buttons & the graphic for the weather info dissapears. Any idea's?

Whats really odd is I can select the videowindow with my mouse and this issue doesnt happen.

Thanks!
Wile E.

Worked out nicely:

About the music covers, it's the album coverart download I'm not entirely happy with. Instead of getting a preview thumb of the available cover, only the "current" is shown. If this is by design, would you mind adding support for previews?

Edit: Attached the .xml if someone else likes this change.

Thanks!
Emph

You may have found a bug in the MediaStream.dll plugin

This probably happens when I check what keys are pressed (this is to step forward/backwards in the menu-items).

I'll have to take a look at the sourcecode one of these days...The buttons+weather reappears if you select a menu-item with the keys and enter it (and then goes back).

I think its a bug only if it was originally intended to work that way Since Im trying to stretch the capabilities, lets call it an enhancement...

I gave the whole cover-dialog a brushup and will upload it tomorrow. But you're right, it wasn't easy to find the wanted cover the "old" way.

it's pretty good so far with the plug ins i use most (moving pictures and my films). But is there anyway that i can use mouse to control rather than keyboard?

Hello everybody & Best Wishes for 2009!

I apologize in advance for going off-topic again but I was wondering if one of you experts could help me out.

I can't figure out how to modify the "movingpictures.facade.xml" to add overlays and/or backgrounds to the thumbnails in my new "Large Thumbnails view".
Also, how to make them change size or display a glow in the background when the thumbnail is focused.

A very rough example (the effect only shows on 3 thumbnails) can be seen in the image attached.

TIA

You can use the scroll-wheel as up/down keys, I don't see anything else that shouldn't work with a mouse

You have to put something in this attribute:

<imageFolderFocus>-</imageFolderFocus>

For those of you missing fading fanart transistions, here's the XML for that:

<control>
	<description>Fanart Background #1</description>
	<type>image</type>
	<id>524</id>
	<posX>0</posX>
	<posY>0</posY>
	<width>1280</width>
	<height>720</height>
	<texture>#TVSeries.Fanart</texture>
	<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="3000">WindowOpen</animation>
	<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="200">Visible</animation>
	<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="200" delay="200">Hidden</animation>
</control>

<control>
	<description>Fanart Background #2</description>
	<type>image</type>
	<id>525</id>
	<posX>0</posX>
	<posY>0</posY>
	<width>1280</width>
	<height>720</height>
	<texture>#TVSeries.Fanart2</texture>
	<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="200">Visible</animation>
	<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="200" delay="200">Hidden</animation>
</control>

New release pending, Pilehave? You've mentioned a new upload today, will these fading fanart be included for this and will you also do the new extra .xml for MP-TVSeries (logo/rules support)?

Thanks!
