Hi there,
I customized the videoOSD a little. Basically I was annoyed by the huge pop-ups of the audio- and subtitle menu. So I tried to fit them into the existing panel. I also added ClearArt, ClearLogo, CDArt for Movies and Musicvideos. Anyway, instead of writing pages and pages of text (with questionable grammar
), I'd rather show pictures of how it actually looks:
Movies:
Series:
Musicvideos (if Artist ClearLogo exists):
Musicvideos (if no ClearLogo exists):
Recorded TV or Video generally:
Subtitle Menu:
Audio Menu:
- ClearArt for Series (if no ClearArt is available, ClearLogo is shown)
- ClearLogo (if available) replaces Artist string for Musicvideos (mvCentral)
- Musicvideo artist replaces the string that usually displays movie-genre and year when playing a musicvideo
- Audio and Subtitle menu integrated in the existing panel
- moved the mediainfo-Icons to the left, changed the order (can easily be reversed by not using the "videoOSD.mediainfo.xml" from the .zip)
- very cool DVD-Case Overlay (made by manicho on DeviantArt.com [LINK])
Installation:- Download the .zip-file (obviously )
- extract it either in your main titan-skinfolder or (my recommendation) in a new or existing themefolder. (The two .png-files should end up in the "Media"-Subfolder)
- adjust ClearArt, ClearLogo, DiscArt-Paths in "include.ClearArt.xml" to your ClearArt-filestructure.
- ClearArt/ClearLogo for Series is not specified in "include.ClearArt.xml", since MPTV-Series itself can provide ClearArt-Properties quite comfortably. If you haven't already done this open the "TVSeries.SkinSettings.xml", and insert the following lines between "<videoplayimages import="true">" and "</videoplayimages>" (and replace "C:\Sample\Folder\Structure" with the actual path to your ClearArt)
- (re)start Mediaportal and enjoy.
- works best with MovingPictures, MPTV-Series, mvCentral, MyVideo
- I added an exception for Musicvideos by AC/DC: since the "/" is not a valid character for filenames I manually replaced AC/DC with AC_DC.

- Tested only with 1.8.0 at 1080p, should work fine though - works best with MovingPictures, MPTV-Series, mvCentral, MyVideo
