Re: Moving Pictures 1.0 Beta 2 Available

There is also a Scroll Delay you can put in for TextBox controls which the skin designer needs to take into consideration when designing the skin. I usually take the default scroll speed and set a delay +2 secs on top of my normal reading speed.

e.g.

<scrollStartDelaySec>15</scrollStartDelaySec>

This will delay the scrolling for 15 secs, this may seem large but if you are using small fonts on a wide text control e.g. Details view, then this maybe necessary.

This would be exactly what I need, because I can keep up with a faster scrollspeed, but my interest first goes to the cover & backdrop images, so by the time I focus to read the text the first few lines have already dissapeared.

But I'm unable to locate the property anywhere in my MediaPortal v1.0.2 setup, so do I just add it? Or is this for MediaPortal v1.1+?

Noticed it was explained in more details in another thread, so I've edited movingpictures.details.xml and movingpictures.listview.xml to add it to the textboxscroll type for the Summary. I would suggest adding this as a default entry into those XML files, because it is very useful and a shame to have to rely on adding it manually, like it is undocumented

I agree RoChess, will review all textboxscrollup controls before release.

Issue 724 - Review all textbox controls being used in Default Blue3 skins to tweak Scroll Delay

I've noticed that Moving Pictures 1.0.1 uses movie ratings from themoviedb.org by default. I want to use IMDB scores, however, when I disable themoviedb.org source, I get no scores at all. Is there any way to force the use of IMDB scores?

I've been so busy with adding score/rating via other scrapers, that I never noticed the existing IMDb scraper failed to obtain the right info. So I fixed the problem and attached a new IMDb scraper to the Google SVN. But since not everybody might read this thread for that issue, I'll post it on the main index.

RoChess,

Are there any pre-compiled SVN binaries (nightly builds, for example), or would I have to compile it myself?

Has the ability to bring up the 'Info' popup when displaying a movie been removed from the latest version? The popup that allowed you to mark a movie as 'Watched' or cycle cover art inside of Movingpictures? Just noticed last night that it didn't appear to be available.

No, bring up detailed info for the movie. Then press F9.

Hi, I always have that in the reference.xml for my skins (a sample of a textboxsrollup), so no need to put it in every textboxscrollup in different screens

You are correct. For some reason, my remote was mapping that function to F3 instead of F9.

Well not everybody looks at that file, nor is that file included with the default Blue3 and Blue3Wide skins that are bundled with the MovingPictures plugin. And I don't mean that all the properties needs to be present, some default values are fine, but this clearly is a value that many users would want to adjust to their own preference.
