Monochrome (for those who like dark skins), updated... (14 Viewers)

[zeflash]

I have downloaded the "shares view" patched files by zeflash, but I don't get the new stuff to work with 1.2.
Basically, in shares, I just get the regular list, icons or movie posters. If I change view to actors or year or so, I get the new look. Zeflash wrote that he reverted to a pre-1.2 version of Monochrome. What files would that be? Could someone in possession of these .xmls please post them here? Or is there something besides "show IMDB data for shares" that needs to be changed in Configuration?

This is very exciting. Hope it will be a part of MediaPortal real soon.

As Psycho Reptile said, you need to rename "myvideo for IMDB view.xml" to "myvideo.xml" in order to view things properly.

PR/Zeflash: What svn are they compiled from?

Doesn't really matter as I will try them anyways, but it's good to know =)

Hey Darre-

What svn have you got this to work with yet?

If you don't mind, let me know what you had to do to get this to work

I get it working kinda now, but I have all my movies in separate folders. Now that I have the info view showing correctly (renamed the .xml as described in post # 777) I still have to go into each folder and select the movie file for the information to show up. I'm currently testing some more things here, but nothing has worked so far. I've tried the checkbox for "separate folders" but that didn't make any difference for me. And I even tried to re-scan my movie folder, but that only screwed up some titles as the IMDB import is unreliable. More work. As for folders that contain (VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS) this won't work at all. But, as you said, it isn't 100% working yet and as long as my computer's not blown up I should be happy. I can upload a screenie if needed.

Thanks for your great work!

Psycho, this skin just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for doing such a great job and for being so flexible with peoples requests

Im really looking forward to the IMDB information on the shares, that for me will be the icing on the cake.

Got tons of stuff to do at work so I haven't had any time for MP this week

I will try to have a look next week as I'm going away in the weekend as well.

My Films List Layout

Monochrome does get better and better

But is there a way to go back to the old My Films list view - the new one just doesn't look right to my eyes?

There was a mock up in post #394 which looked great, but I personally am not thrilled with the way it ended up looking in 1.2.

Thanks again for the best skin out there.

Hey,

I'd like to change the position of the text that is displayed when playing audio/video files in the lower left corner. It is on every screen.

Can be seen here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13053&d=1194598179
It displays "Essence".


EDIT: Figured it out. Now I would like to know how the current playtime can be displayed .

Regards,
Simon

The tag for current playtime should be #currentplaytime

Actually that's a mockup for the MyVideos/Genres view, but you could try the files in this post. Remember to backup the originals tho .

In the musicOverlay.xml you need to change the following two controls' x & y position

    <control>
      <description>play time label</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>2</id>
      <posX>26</posX>
      <posY>745</posY>
      <label>#currentplaytime</label>
      <align>left</align>
      <font>font10</font>
      <textcolor>00ffffff</textcolor>
    </control>

    <control>
      <description>album/artist/genre etc info label</description>
      <type>fadelabel</type>
      <id>5</id>
      <width>260</width>
      <height>40</height>
      <posX>26</posX>
      <posY>725</posY>
<label>#Play.Current.Title\r#Play.Current.Artist\r#Play.Current.Album\r#Play.Current.Duration</label>
      <textcolor>EFFFFFFF</textcolor>
    </control>

In the videoOverlay.xml you need to change the following controls x & y position

    <control>
      <description>album/artist/genre etc info label</description>
      <type>fadelabel</type>
      <id>5</id>
      <width>260</width>
      <height>30</height>
      <posX>26</posX>
      <posY>725</posY>
      <label>#Play.Current.Title\r#Play.Current.Genre\r#Play.Current.Year\r#Play.Current.Director</label>
      <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>

and add the following control

    <control>
     <description>play time label</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>2</id>
      <posX>26</posX>
      <posY>745</posY>
      <label>#currentplaytime</label>
      <align>left</align>
      <font>font10</font>
      <textcolor>00ffffff</textcolor>
    </control>

Not sure about the id though, it may need changing - have a look at B2.

Wow!!!!


That would be much better, if MP wouldn't crash on the Cover View in the Movie-Section! Did anybody has some experience with that???
