MP-TVSeries v2.3.3589 Stable Release [29-Oct-09] (1 Viewer)

[ltfearme]

Currently only List is possible in Episode view, so its not a bug.

Since you mentioned it, are you planning to add this so we can have a thumbnail view in episodes view as well?

Yeah I was experimenting a couple months back, thinking that the best way to handle this would be to allow the skinner to define the layouts that they want in TVSeries.SkinSettings.xml. Then for each layout that is defined you can override the existing facade properties. This also seems the simplest solution as the existing facade logic can stay, just need to manipulate its properties from the skinsetting overrides.

There is just too many possibilities with the TVSeries facade, there are 4 views (Group, Series, Season, Episode) and most views have multiple image types (SeriesPoster, SeriesBanner, SeriesThumb, SeasonBanner, SeasonPoster, EpisodeThumb, GroupThumb). So to be able to handle this using multiple facades, you would need at least 7 Facade controls. I think this may be a big job given the existing way the facade is handled in TVseries.

How about adding 2 facadeviews? One for series level and another one for the currently selected series (seasons and episodes). That would even allow the skinner to show the available series and the details of the selected series at the same time...

Not sure if this makes sense since I have no idea about the structure of MPTVSeries.

Problem with having one facade at the series level would still run into problems with different image types e.g. skinner can create create a filmstrip or icons layouts based on Posters but if the image type was changed to banners it would look crap because the dimensions of the thumb have changed. You see you can only design for one image per facade.

I still think single facade is ok, I just need to allow the skinner to override the properties when the view/imagetype has changed.

Could possibly have a facade for each view (4 facades) and only override the properties of the facade for each one that requires multiple images (seriesview and possibly seasonview if we support widebanners). Skinner could then choose to display the series view facade whilst browsing the facade that displays the seasons/episodes.

Can you Uninstall the plug-in from the Control Panel Add\Remove programs and then Re-install.

Im guessing animations could be disabled in MediaPortal configuration or that the latest skin files have not been installed.

I already uninstall th eplgin, may be it's a skin problem, by the way when I re install the plugin in the installaiton menu only blue skin was available!!!

How to install it for the others skins ???

 

[ltfearme]

TVSeries skin files are available in all popular skins, its a matter of installing whatever skin you want. The plugin only installs skin support for the default MediaPortal skins.

Did you check if animations were enabled in MediaPortal Configuration->General? Seems to be problems with visibility of some controls when disabled which I have not looked into yet.

 

[DieBagger]

the other skinfiles are included with the skin installers...

Have you tried if episode thumbnails are working with the Blue3/Blue3Wide skin?

 

[wanexa]

yes works with the blue skins !!!!!!

works now with an update for the bleaze wide 7.1.0 see link below

I'm having a problem with text displaying probably. As you can see in the images below there seems to be some errors. I just updated to the new version and reloaded MP and now it's messed up.

What happened along the way?

Thanks.
