Need help with xml file (1 Viewer)

[eiMer]

Hi,

two years ago i wrote a "sleeptimer" plugin. dont ask me which version of mediaportal it was but in the new version the skin file doesnt work.

The text on the button is invisible...

<control>

<description>120 Minuten</description>

<type>button</type>

<id>3</id>

<posX>270</posX>

<posY>264</posY>

<label>120 Minuten</label>

<onup>1</onup>

<ondown>1</ondown>

</control>

the label "120 Minuten" isnt displayed...

Can anyone tell how to do this is the latest version of mediaportal...
I looked at some other plugins to see how it works...
eg <label> 100 </label>
but cant find the decleration of "label 100"...

Thx for your help...

I think you would have to do something like this
Just a guess here

    <control>
      <description>120 Minuten Button</description>
      <type>button</type>
      <id>3</id>
      <posX>270</posX>
      <posY>264</posY>
      <label>2</label>
      <onup>1</onup>
      <ondown>1</ondown>
    </control> 
    <control>
      <description>120 Minuten Label</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>1</id>
      <posX>270</posX>
      <posY>264</posY>
      <label>120 Minuten</label>
    </control>

the button control and the label control are seperate

I think that what's happening is that because you're starting the label off with a number, MP assumes it's going to be a translatable string. It can't find a match for that (because it's not one) so it shows nothing. Try putting a space before the string so that it's:

<label> 120 Minuten</label>

The translations to the numerical labels are in the xml files in Mediaportal's language folder, but in this case you're not wanting to add a translation I don't think.
