[MOD] FusionMP (StreamedMP with Aeon elements) (1 Viewer)

[distorted1]

Superb mod, but i have the following problem whenever i choose for filmstrip view it works perfectly. But when i close down MP en restart it, it returns to list view and have to change it back to filmstrip view. Where can i change that it defaults to filmstrip view everytime i start MP?

Well, currently I'm using the rss/weather plugin to display the backdrop & info. It's limited to 4 items AFAIK (icon, condition, temp, location)..
I wanted to do the same thing (5day forecast on my basichome) but I think the plugin would have to be rewritten a bit.

I thought about that and decided to write a new info plugin, that will support that feature. I think within this week, i will have it ready, hope so At the moment it receives only rss and the todays weather.

I thought to receive more than rss and wheater like soccer scores or something.

Vergo: which items for the weather do you need? The forecast data is a little different to the todays weather data. forecast is separated into day and night. for day and night there are the wheater discriptions like "Mostly Clear" or so. Also there are low and high temperatures for the complete day.

Great news, thanks for the effort!!
I'd like to set it up as followed (maybe you can use Spragleknas' input too, he wanted this as well):
> Current Weather Icon (using the 128x128 icons folder so I can use it as a background) + Small weather icon (64x64 folder) + Min/Max + general weather label ("Mostly Clear")
> 4 next days: general weather icons (using the 64x64 icons) + Min/Max + Day/night weather discriptions ("AM: Mostly Clear / PM: Cloudy")

That would be great (and hopefully possible?). Also, I think some people would like the RSS to support multiple feeds. While you're at it? ;-)
The community would really appreciate this! Oh and take your time, ain't no reason to rush things

I think the weather items should be possible
I thougth also about multiple feeds, but for that, the skin must support it. The skin should use the items #rssfeed1, #rssfeed2 and so on, to display multiple feeds. Another idea is to mix multiple feed titles together to one rss feed. But for know i want to release a version with the weather things you need and rss.

Not possible to use a "change feed" button for skins?

Mh this a good idea
At the moment i dont know how to put a change feed button directly on the basichome (i must look in the wiki when i'm at home, if this is possible). But i can make a selection screen for the rss feeds where you can select the rss feed you want to display on the basichome screen.

I have an idea
The current rss feed & Skin has support for a small image in front of the feed, it should be easy to make that image clickable. (Just change <ondown> to the <id> corresponding with the image). Since not everyone is using an image, we could include a standard one, when you click it, it either
cycles through different feeds or shows a selection screen. Your choice

@ Vergo your idea is good. I'll try that. Can you make me a basichome.xml with your idea to test this? i've tried to change the basichome without success im a dumbhead

Now i have a working version ready. Tonight I will upload this version, if I dont find any bugs.
At the moment it supports only one rss feed and the requested weather data.

Edit:

Ok i think its ready. i have tested it not so much. Because of that, tell me if something is wrong. By the way you need .net framework 3.5!

Here are the new items for skin files:

RSS
#rssfeed
#rssimg

Weather
#location

Today Weather data
#todaytemp
#todaycondition
#todaymintemp
#todaymaxtemp
#todaybigweatherimg
#todaysmallweatherimg

Day 2 (Next Day)
#day2mintemp
#day2maxtemp
#day2daycondition
#day2nightcondition
#day2smallweatherimg

Day 3
#day3mintemp
#day3maxtemp
#day3daycondition
#day3nightcondition
#day3smallweatherimg

Day 4
#day4mintemp
#day4maxtemp
#day4daycondition
#day4nightcondition
#day4smallweatherimg

Day 5
#day5mintemp
#day5maxtemp
#day5daycondition
#day5nightcondition
#day5smallweatherimg

Please be sure to enable rss and weather update in the configuration

Now i'm really exicited about the new basichome
