1.4.x Themes: BasicHome, Clear Art's support for Titan, Weather icon on screen, bugfixes and more. (6 Viewers)

[psykix]

Maybe it makes sense to put all that concerns MePoTools in a separate topic? Only one problem, I can not correctly describe the English process of setting up the program.

I'm struggling to set it up at the moment, so if you need a guinea pig to test the instructions, then I am your man!

Also, I like the normal big tiles on the home screen, but I want to change Music to instead fire up the Rockstar plugin. I looked in the editor but there doesn't seem any way to do this without switching to Titan Extended. Can I edit an XML file or something?

Cheers!

Here, you need to make manual changes to BasicHome.xml.

Change block:

	<control>
		  <description>BasicHome Music</description>
		  <type>button</type>
		  <id>2</id>
		<posX>52</posX>
		<posY>353</posY>
		  <width>594</width>
		  <height>241</height>
		  <textureFocus>basichome_menu_item_label_overlay.png</textureFocus>
		  <textureNoFocus>basichome_menu_item_label_overlay.png</textureNoFocus>
		  <hyperlink>501</hyperlink>
		  <label>2</label>
		  <font>TitanLight20</font>
		  <textcolor>FFFFFF</textcolor>
		<textalign>center</textalign> 
		  <textcolorNoFocus>FFFFFFFF</textcolorNoFocus>
			<onup>2</onup>
		  <ondown>3</ondown>
		  <textYOff>88</textYOff>
		<onright>4</onright>
		<onleft>6</onleft>
		<animation effect="fade" time="250" reversible="false">visiblechange</animation>
		  <animation effect="zoom" start="100,100" end="102,102" time="200">focus</animation>
		  <animation effect="zoom" start="102,102" end="100,100" time="150">unfocus</animation>
		  <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
		  <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>
		<visible allowhiddenfocus="true">![control.hasfocus(12)|control.hasfocus(13)|control.hasfocus(14)|control.hasfocus(99999)|Control.IsVisible(100)|Control.IsVisible(2000)|control.HasFocus(200) | control.HasFocus(300) | control.HasFocus(400) | control.HasFocus(500) | control.HasFocus(600) | control.HasFocus(700)]</visible> 
	</control>

Replace <hyperlink>501</hyperlink> to <hyperlink>47286</hyperlink> And then it will start Rockstar plugin.[DOUBLEPOST=1373377520][/DOUBLEPOST]

What are the difficulties you have in your setup?

Just like to say that this is awesome work,well done to ajs and kiwijunglist,this works a treat

I couldn't figure out what the settings in the MePotools were asking for :- what's the top path supposed to point to for instance?

Also, what view should covers and rotating discs show up in? I can't see them...

Three other things :-

I can't get latest movie or tv series to show up for some reason - I have latestmedia plugin installed and enabled, and I have set it in the GUI to show latest.
It works for pictures.

How can I add Videos (the built in MP one) to the spare tile on the second screen?

How can I rename Moving Pictures to Movies, and TV Programmes to Series on the main screen?[DOUBLEPOST=1373443764][/DOUBLEPOST]BTW : I already have disc art and clearart in the folders with my Movies - my external movie manager grabs them and downloads them.

Is there any way I can use them from there? They are grouped with each movie under separate folders.

 

[kiwijunglist]

with regards to mepo tools, i will be writing a detailed setup guide (AJS the developer speaks Russian) within 1-2 weeks after we have finished development of the fakecd part of mepo tools.

Make manual changes to BasicHome.xml.

How can I rename Moving Pictures to Movies, and TV Programmes to Series on the main screen?

Make manual changes to include.BasicHomeButton.movingpictures.xml. Change <label>#MovingPictures.Settings.HomeScreenName</label> to <label>Movies</label> and include.BasicHomeButton.tvseries.xml change <label>1300</label> to <label>Series</label>

BTW : I already have disc art and clearart in the folders with my Movies - my external movie manager grabs them and downloads them.

Folders for my Themes:

│  │ │ └[thumbs]
│  │ │  ├─CDArt
│  │ │  │ ├─Movies
│  │ │  │ ├─Music
│  │ │  │ ├─Seasons 
│  │ │  │ └─Series 
│  │ │  ├─ClearArt
│  │ │  │ ├─Movies
│  │ │  │ ├─Music
│  │ │  │ └─Series
│  │ │  ├─ClearLogo
│  │ │  │ ├─Movies
│  │ │  │ └─Series

For obіchnoy settings you need to fill the top two fields, a folder with the database and folder thumbnails, and then click Fill.[DOUBLEPOST=1373446637][/DOUBLEPOST]

AJS the developer speaks Russian

And even on a terrible translation as English

Thanks for the pointers - I was looking in BasicHome.xml!!

I don't think I will be able to use the ClearArt/CDArt I already have downloaded then, as the file structure for each movie is like this :-

 

[ajs]

My theme does not support this file format, and such an arrangement. Just as I said above. That is, each type in a separate folder. With certain names. For movies it imdbid.png for serials tmdbid.png for artists artist.png for album artist - album.png

I was trying to make it much harder than I needed to :-p

I have it working now.. I had filled all the bottom fields in manually... doh!

Two bugs:

Radio label is missing (12-43-44.png)
When I move to my pictures (afbeeldingen), the til will move to the left, behind the radio tile. (12-43-47.png)
