Possible Bug With StreamedMP 1.73 And Myfilms 5.1 (1 Viewer)

Maybe its a missing character as well...but it really should not experience that kind of affect.

Ive just shortened the text down to 3 lines in ants movie collection (equates to nearly a full text box) and everything displays. Im pretty sure its down to length as ive been using the same characters in different instances and found that anymore than 3 lines what ever characters and it wont display.

Hi MPnut,
I think I found a possible workaround you might want to try?
In the skinfolder, StreamedMP, change the font settings of the MyFilmsDetail.xml for the items that have problems (actors, commtents, etc.) from
<font>mediastream11</font>
to
<font>mediastream12</font>
That solved the visibility problem for me here.

Instead of changing the plugin skin files, you could also just change the font definition in fonts.xml:
<font>
<name>mediastream11</name>
<filename>Fluid</filename>
<height>12</height>
<start>0</start>
<end>1536</end>
<bold>no</bold>
</font>

That will render the font "mediastream11" (that is used to display those details) with size 12 (instead of original 11) and also displays here...

Hi Guzzi, not so good idea this will epact the all skin , better to change in the myfilms xml skin file so the change will be only with myfilms plugin ...

You're right of course - I should have made that clear that it's affecting the whole skin and it should only be done for testing and reverted after that. Finally, we should find a solution for the root cause hopefully...

Edit: There is an even easier and "more compatible" way to test:
Choose big fonts in StreamedMP setup - this will render mediastream11 with height = 14 - and also should work...

Hi Guzzi,

Thx for your suggestion on a possible workaround - I managed to get text to display in all fields by picking big fonts in the setup.

Also tried altering the font size to mediastream12 & 14 for the overview, description comments and actors via (streamedmp/myfilmsdetail.xml) but not making any difference in my database. I checked the myfilmsdetail.xml file after picking large fonts and the value had not changed for some reason.

You won't see changes in the skinfiles, if you change fontsize in either StreamedMP setup or manually in fonts.xml - it just results in the fact, that a font named "mediastream11" will be rendered with height = "14" instead of "11".
So my suggestion would be to change all fontsizes for details view in myfilmsxml.
Can you test with StreamedMP set to small fonts the attached MyFilmsDetail.xml - if it's confirmed to work, I'd suggest to ltfearme to change in StreamedMP for next release.

Hi Guzzi, I copied your edited Myfilmsdetail.xml in and so far everything woking gr8. I had originally just enabled large fonts and changed the director and length etc to 14 too bring them into scale. Not examined your version properly but font looks like 12 or 13 now can you confirm. (Its kind of hard to tell the difference)

Yes, I changed the fonts to 13 in those places where you reported problems. Using large fonts is also a workaround, as posted above.
