Update on 4x3 skin files

here is an update on the wip for the 4x3 skin files.
I have been working on them today, switching between the day2day job and fun ;-)
Again, work has been done on a laptop with 1280x800 resolution. I will update my home config with these files to check for quirks on the real 4x3 resolution.
In the meantime, feel free to test these and provide feedback.

Things on my list:

• 
  Filmstrip view is nowhere near completion. Checking different settings to see what everything does.

• play around with both small and large thumbnail view.

and off course anything else I may have left out
So, any comments are more then welcome.

i have found a bug today with the local coverarts.

if you load a coverart in the db from your local drive into movie a lets say and then you go to movie b and try to load the cover art and click cancel on the dialog box the previously loaded cover art from movie a gets loaded into movie b.

Thanks, I added an issue for it.

Hi,

I found a Bug and a Workaround for this Bug after trying to scan my Movies for a few hours...

I`ve got 180 ISOS on my HD and only 5 werde found by the plugin. I tried everything to fix this. I even deleted the DB and scanned it again. Took some time... nothing changed.

I was very frustrated und renamed some Files and the renamed Files were found!!!!

It was an Uppercase-Bug : .iso is found .ISO not!

Maybe this can be fixed in a further release.

Greetings and thanks for this cool plugin

Hrmm, that does indeed sound like a bug. I have added an issue for it in the tracker. By the way though, mounting DVD images is not currently supported. It is coming soon, but we just haven't gotten to it yet. Sorry.


@marvenius
Great work! Thanks for putting so much time into that! I will take a look this evening when I am in front of my HTPC.

Just checked on my TV. Ratio is a bit of. Thumbs are a bit to high in relation to the width.
Also, it seems there are a few pixels missing on the rightmost part of my TV.

Great job guys , getting better & better

Will it be possible in the MP view to sort by type of movies ? e.g. drama or humor or select different criteria's?

Yeah, I have intended to implement that around the same time as filtering for a while, I guess I never wrote it down though. I set up it's own issue over on the tracker so the two aren't tightly bound. Sorting will be easier than filtering, no reason to tie together the two enhancements.

Hi fforde,

First, thank you for the hard work your putting in this. I very much apreciate it. The plugin is getting better and better, and I like it very much! Thank!

Now a question:
- Is it possible to set a default backdrop image? I find that, whith some old movies which dont have this backdrop image yet, the screen is too clean/empty. Maybe even an option to select local backdrop images like the cover-art option.

Seems nice.

Is it possible to sort the list by by date ?
I want to keep recently added stuff on top of the list

Also nice additions would be ...

indication if a movie has subtitles (srt/sub + the usual 100s others).
indication of audio soundtrack type (ac3, mp3 etc.)
indication of movie res and maybe framerate.

That falls into request "add mediainfo and logos support"
