Never mind, where can i download the latest version?

The link is in Zebons post.

But don't do all of your job again. The only changes are the images : now, there're 2 images define for each screen. 1 small and 1 big.

So for the MesFilmsDetail.xml, the new images are :

	 	<control>
            		<type>image</type>
            		<id>2024</id>
            		<posX>68</posX>
            		<posY>273</posY>
	    		<width>165</width>
            		<height>230</height>
            		<align>center</align>
	    		<keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>
            		<texture>-</texture>
         	</control>
	 	<control>
            		<type>image</type>
            		<id>2023</id>
            		<posX>95</posX>
            		<posY>233</posY>
	    		<width>120</width>
            		<height>170</height>
            		<align>center</align>
	    		<keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>
	    		<visible>no</visible>	
            		<texture>-</texture>
         	</control>

and for the MesFilms.xml, this is :

		<control>
			<type>image</type>
			<id>1020</id>
			<posX>90</posX>
			<posY>235</posY>
			<width>122</width>
			<height>160</height>
	    		<keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>
			<texture>-</texture>
		</control>
		<control>
			<type>image</type>
			<id>1021</id>
			<posX>60</posX>
			<posY>280</posY>
			<width>160</width>
			<height>220</height>
	    		<keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>
			<texture>-</texture>
		</control>

just customize this ones for your skin.

Pictures not showing

Zebons,
Thanks for the great plugin, I am having a problem where even though the pictures show for all movies in the collection in ANT, not all of them show in MP. Most do however. How should they be saved in ANT to make sure they show in MP?

Thanks again,
Oreo

Are you sure that the pictures which you cann't view in MP are stored in the picture's directory ? By default pictures names are <ANT>_<ANT>.jpg or .gif
If you can find it do you notice any differences in their names ? You also can try to view thoses pictures thru the standard MY Pictures plugin... :?

 

[oreo]

Thanks again,
I found the problem, new file loaded over the old picture file. All is working perfectly again.

Yes it is working in RC4. Which skin are you using? There are a couple of .xml files that need to be in the skin directory for it to work. From memory it works with BlueTwo and MCE.

 

[smnnekho]

I currently use Blue2. but as far as im concerned in this case a black screen would appear, with text saying my xxx.xml is missing. i will try out MCE anyway, but i'm sure to have the skin files copied right. anyway, maybe it isn't working because of my newest SVN?

Which message did you get exactly ?
If the error message is : The ANT '.xml' file is missing, there is a mistake in the setup plugin parameters, take a look on the 'ANT Movie Catalog File (XML)' parameter :?
