The Future of MyFilms? (3 Viewers)

[Guzzi]

AW: The Future of MyFilms?

attached a new testversion
as mentioned above, I had to change the properties.
#myfilms.config.currentconfig is the current active DB-configurationname
I have quickly adapted Blue3Wide, so look inside for example how to use.
Skinfile is optimized for "remoteuse" - so when you're in Detailsview, use up/down to toggle through the different detailview - if you go "right", you get the fullcolorfanartview.
although not in ANT db, myfilms exposes
#myfilms.db.calc.aspectratio.value
and
#myfilms.db.calc.imageformat.vakue
that you might want to use for e.g. conditional iconview - this was something some time ago was requested here in the forum...

If you activate "debugmode" for mediaportal, all propertychanges will be visible in the logfile.

Di Dadeo,

attached the reworked version, that has now initialized all properties to "" instead of " ".

@All: If anybody tried conditional visibility and had problems, it should be easier now by just using !string.equals(#myfilms.xxx.value)

Hi Dadeo,

attached new version with following changes (as discussed in IRC):

- added #myfilms.view property as info in what view you are (genre,, year, userdefined views, etc.)
- populate #itemcount as requested by you
- Skinfilenames NOT changed - as change to MyFilms.xml might lead to confusion with config file - so I decided to leave it for now.
- Blue3Wide a bit overworked - but still not really "compliant" ...
- Blue3 Files not included - so testing with B3W...
- added skip forward/backward buttons to change movies in Detailsview
- Youtubetrailerfunction is still in - got positive feedback from offbyone, he will add it to next OnlineVideo release (to test with this release, you have to use the special onlinevideo-DLL from zip in this post:https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...films-via-onlinevideos-test-91143/#post694254)

- rework of the logo creation code: it's now possible to have logopath empty and logo-mediafilenames without pathes. In those cases, automatic fallback to defaultvalues will happen, based on the pathes used on current config. By this it is possible to attach a logoconfigfile with the plugin, that automatically tries to read logos from \media\logos of the current skinfile.
- logo config is backwardcompatible, so if fully qualified pathes and logonames are given, they will be used as before - same, if existing logoconfigfiles are available
- configurationspecific logofiles will be autocreated from defaultfile now also from GUI (before only from setup)
- example of generic logofile included in installer - not perfect, but good for testing and improving ;-) - attention: installer will not overwrite existing file, so you have to move existing one to get it.
If anybody is willing to create a default logoconfigfile, I would appreciate that.
- category logos mostly won't be displayed, although some definitions are in there, because they're usually not available in the lgogs folder of the skins

- To test, it's best to remove existing logoconfigfile(s) and logo folders - it should be autocreated and populated as described - hopefully ;-)
- wiki updated for skinning infos

Happy testing... let me know, if it works as we discussed...

Hi, there is currently no official release of MyFilms available for MePo 1.2+ - but you could try this one, if you want to make some testing -> https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/my-films-164/myfilms-mediaportal-v1-2-a-90412/#post687684

I think I will release a 1.2 compatible version, when 1.2 beta is out, as in 1.2alpha have been some bugs also affecting myfilms plugin.

Hi Guzzi - I tested 4.9.3.7 and all is working really well. A couple minor issues:

• #myfilms.view is not populated on window open if you use a custom view
• I found a few errors in skin xmls - so attached new ones - I made a few other changes as well which you can use or not as you like. They could still use more tweaking, but I got tired
• I corrected the English language strings file - typos, capitalization, and removed the duplicates

I tried to use the new strings on buttons in mesfilmsdetails.xml, but they did not work, and I got an errror message in the error.log on 4 of them. It looks to me like details is not reading from the My Films strings files.

Itemcount works great now, so I used it!

Hope that helps.

Hi Dadeo,
thanks for your feedback, I will be whole day on the road, so can't look into it before the evening (CET).
the problem with localized labels I reported myself beginning of the year I think ;-) - will look into that.
