MyWorldMap plugin V 1.0 RC5 (Google Maps and Virtual Earth) (1 Viewer)

[jimSelf]

I updated the google urls in C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\GUIWorldmap.xml which gave me all map types back in this great plugin:

Hope this works for you as well...

Thanks jimSelf
I tried your file but for Google Hybrid and Satellite it only works for half the world. Any idea?

For all who get the blank BSON screen - I just press the 0 key on the remote or keyboard and then I get the map. Once I have done it once, I don't seem to need to do it again.

vuego = I used your new files and now I get the virtual keyboard, but it is set for 16:9 skins so it displays to the right and off the screen. How do I set it correctly for 4:3, I couldn't find it anywhere in the skin files.

Dadeo: You have to move the <posX> (and possibly the <posY> of the controls with <label>x</label> to the desired position. The author of this plugin used the display of the virtual keyboard this way. I had a lot of work to position the keyboard AND the resulting input strings to fit well on the screen....

catavolt - OMG Thank you so much! I would never have figured that out!

Sorry to tell you it did not work for me in PV 2.5 (4:3) or previous version! I did, of course, check what you had done first! You are correct, it is quite difficult to get the virtual keyboard to fit well. It may even be impossible since the text entered in the fields (after you type it in the virtual keyboard) seems to be hardcoded relative to the position x,y of the virtual keyboard!

I can't get it to work on a 4:3 screen! Can you let me know if you can?

 

[catavolt]

Dadeo: Just found it out yesterday when I used the latest Worldmap.xml which gave me again access to the images. Therefore I corrected the respective files for PVHD. The PVHD 4:3 solution is to be made up now (Sigh.....).
But maybe you can do something with the xmls for the 16:9 skins so far? Here they are:

 

[Dadeo]

Thanks for the files, I'll give it a try. I can get the virtual keyboard to display, But I don't know how to get around the hardcoded positioning of the text in the fields (i.e Street, City, etc.) I am trying to think of a way but my brain hurts!

 

[catavolt]

Yeah, I know that symptoms.....

 

[Dadeo]

catavolt: The only thing I could find that worked was to move the buttons since I could not move the text that is input after entering in the virtual keyboard. So here's how it looks in PV 4.5. I showed the worst case, which is Placename because it is the lowest. Not great that the buttons are so far from the text, but it was the best I could come up with.

May I just say this is why plugins should provide default skin files - i.e. both Blue3 and Blue3Wide, to avoid these problems.

And here's the xml - I am sure you can polish it up!

EDIT: Lost the attachments! The reason the text is so high is for large fonts in aMPed.

Hi,
I have problems when searching for city, street etc.
If I enter the search city menu I only see "Street, City, Country, Search and Cancel" buttons to which I can navigate.
But pressing ok or something else does not show any virtual keyboard on the screen.
I zoomed a little bit in to see Europe on the screen.
I use MP 1.0.2 with blue3wide.

Can somebody please help me to get the virtual keyboard.
(I also see no keyboard when I use the last posted xml files)
