offbyone, hope assist me with this..
i am trying to use this kind of logic in the skin:
<control>
<description>Description Value</description>
<type>textboxscrollup</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>1420</posX>
<posY>430</posY>
<width>480</width>
<height>300</height>
<label>#OnlineVideos.desc</label>
<font>font13</font>
<visible>!Control.IsVisible(51)+facadeview.list</visible>
</control>
that means, i only want to show details (description) when in facade list view.. now, i restart mp (important), enter plugin, enter category, and video list is loaded (facade is in list view already) but nothing is shown in the description.. i have to cycle through the views (small thumb, large thumb and back to list) for the control with description to show.. i think it might be some problem with the initialization of the plugin but hope you can help..
in apple trailers, when you are in video view, there is only videoname property filled.. you go into details and back, now there is the description too! can you make it load the descriptions from the start?
thanks!
Hi, looks like you are right, I guess something must be initialized first. Anyone with a MediaPortal API docu around?
Apple Trailer Description: Yeah they are there only after showing the details. That it currently because each description is on a different page, so getting all trailers desciptions right away would make as many webrequests as videos are shown. So quite a slowdown. Maybe I can change it to get the info on selection, so it won't cause to much background http actions.
