Show up genre - need help :) (1 Viewer)

[RoXoR]

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to show the genre of a movie directly in the mattsk88's list view (not only in detail view). Maybe like in this picture or in another position:

Perhaps ltfearme or somebody else could help me

Its possible, you need to add a label control with text:

<label>#MovingPictures.SelectedMovie.genres</label>

Not sure how familiar you are with XML but you will need to open MovingPictures.xml and add a new label control at the position you want. copy n paste an existing label control and work with that.

Hi ltfearme,

thank you for your answer Here is my attempt:

    <control>
      <description>genre above the movie title</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <label>#MovingPictures.SelectedMovie.genres</label>
      <id>0</id>
      <posX>570</posX>
      <posY>23</posY>
      <width>840</width>
      <font>mediastream11c</font>
      <textcolor>ffffff</textcolor>
    </control>

But How can I restrict the number of genres shown to 3?

Because some movies have a very detailed genre information on ofdb.de. For example: "Australia (2008)":

Abenteuer, Drama, Krieg, Liebe/Romantik, Western

Thx in advance!

BTW: I only valuated the figures of posX/posY and after that I tested it in MediaPortal. Thereupon, I corrected the figures a number of times. Isn't there a better solution?

That can be configured in the MovingPictures Advanced Settings panel: 'Max Actors, Genres, etc to Display'
