Streamed MP: Community Mods & Bug Fixes (2 Viewers)

[FantaXP7]

question to the redstream author, is there an update to your homescreen backdrops? I am using your tv one without the philips logo, the blu ray case, dvd case, and cd case. I think that they all look amazing as standard backdrops. I am looking to find something with this look/theme for settings, pictures, games and whatever else might be available.

If not, does anyone else know of a cool icon set that might look good for all these features?

Does anyone know how I could make StreamedMP do a fade to fanart like these from XFace skin:

Instead of like this currently?:

I think it looks good the way it fades with no hard line ...

Hi bushbrother,

take a look at that: Clean Filmstrip

Hi bushbrother,

take a look at that: Clean Filmstrip

Thanks HulleBulle, looks like it might be what I am looking for

Its a bit hard to tell where the fade starts with this one as the fanart is also dark (constantine) but will try and let you know. Otherwise I will look at the Xface XML files and see if i can mash something together

Has anyone made a TV series mod, or could give info on how to, where it's easier to switch between different views? I only use two views (a custom "latest" that only shows unwatched shows and "all") but often switch between the two. Three clicks on the remote to switch between the two is a bit too much and heavily reduces the ergonomics of the TV Series section, both in mine and the girlfriends opinion

Hi,

I also don't like the way so much fanart is covered in the so-called 'fanart' view, or the 'hard' line...

Towards the top of your tvseries.xml file you'll find this section -

<control>
<description>FanArt Overlay - List View</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<texture>fanartoverlay.png</texture>
<visible>!Control.IsVisible(1236)</visible>
</control>
<control>
<description>FanArt Overlay - Other Views</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<texture>tvviewbg.png</texture>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(1236)+Control.IsVisible(1237)+!Control.IsVisible(1242)</visible>
</control>
<!--Overlays Filmstrip -->
<control>
<description>Top Bar</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>51</height>
<texture>overlay_topbar.png</texture>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(1236)+[[Control.IsVisible(1237)+Control.IsVisible(1242)]|Control.IsVisible(1238)]</visible>
</control>
<control>
<description>Bottom Overlay</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>400</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>320</height>
<texture>filmstrip_overlay.png</texture>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(1236)+[[Control.IsVisible(1237)+Control.IsVisible(1242)]|Control.IsVisible(1238)]</visible>
</control>​

What I do when a new release comes out is change the reference to 'fanartoverlay.png' to 'filmstrip_overlay.png', and delete the entire 'Top Bar' control (section in bold) so that the entire section looks like this -

<control>
<description>FanArt Overlay - List View</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<texture>filmstrip_overlay.png</texture>
<visible>!Control.IsVisible(1236)</visible>
</control>
<control>
<description>FanArt Overlay - Other Views</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<texture>tvviewbg.png</texture>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(1236)+Control.IsVisible(1237)+!Control.IsVisible(1242)</visible>
</control>
<!--Overlays Filmstrip -->
<control>
<description>Bottom Overlay</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>400</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>320</height>
<texture>filmstrip_overlay.png</texture>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(1236)+[[Control.IsVisible(1237)+Control.IsVisible(1242)]|Control.IsVisible(1238)]</visible>
</control>​

Hope that helps

i have my-tvseries setup like that too (2 views-unwatched and all). so i thought this would be a good idea. i don't think this is possible by just editing the xml. i think this feature has to be coded into the plugin.

An update with the background arts you noticed is coming... right now I'm working on it

Hi,

in the tvseries Graphical Widebanner view, is it possible to have the selected series banner 'zoom' out like the posters do in Filmstrip view? How would I do this? Currently, it's hard to tell 'at a glance' which series is selected.
Also, when in the Graphical Widebanner view, I'd like to get the Poster of the selected series to show up down the bottom next to the summary - possible?

Cheers

Change:

<imageFolderFocus>-</imageFolderFocus>
<enableFocusZoom>yes</enableFocusZoom>

Not possible without changes to the plugin to expose both Series Poster and Series Banner, see TVSeries issue tracker: Issue 117 - mptvseries - Expose both series banner and poster to skin - Google Code
