1.4.x Titan - Pulse8 Theme (1 Viewer)

[Game_dude]

I have another question (sorry for all these noob qustions) but is there a way to go straight into moving pictures when selecting it? Like instead of having that pop up that says "categories etc?" I think there was a Titan theme that did this a while back.

Yes easy enough to do. If you look in the 'include.BasicHomeButton.movingpictures.xml' file you will find a line that says
<onclick>#(skin.setfocus(35,1100))</onclick>
That makes it set the focus to the pop out menu when you click it. If you don't want the menu, then delete that line and replace it with
<hyperlink>96742</hyperlink>
That will tell MePo to go directly to the MovingPicture screen (category view is the default view).

If you want to go to a specific view you can also add a 2nd line under the hyperlink line
<hyperlinkParameter>categoryname:${AllMovies}</hyperlinkParameter>
or
<hyperlinkParameter>categoryname:${RecentlyAddedMovies}</hyperlinkParameter>
or
<hyperlinkParameter>categoryname:${UnwatchedMovies}</hyperlinkParameter>
etc for any specific view you want to go into.

Today we discovered the problem that while on fullscreen TV the TV Guide won´t open.
I am still not sure what the problem is (Daughter is watching TV ) but i found this in the mediaportal Log:

GUIWindow:OnWindowLoaded: 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\Titan\Themes\Pulse8 Dark Cherry\tvZAPOSD.xml' is missing control id 100 (window property: lblCurrentTime)

Is that a Problem or can i ignore this?

Thanks!

Brudertac,

I've had a look and I get the same message in my MediaPortal log but the TV guide (mini and full screen) pulls up just fine. I also set the skin on my box back to Titan default and I get the same messages. There is nothing I've changed in the tvZAPOSD.xml file other than a text colour so I don't think this is indicating a problem. What you could try is putting the skin back to Titan default and see if the guide pulls up, then set it back to Pulse8 and try again. If it working in Titan and not in Pulse8 then please let me know and attached your log files and I will see if I can figure it out.

Hi,

excellent theme, big thanks.

Everything works for me except world weather, with 1.6 pre-release

I updated to world weather 1.3.2 Release-Candidate (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/worldweather-v1-3-2-release-candidate-1-zip.138386/)

but still no success.

And the second question:

Is it possible to integrate clickfinder program guide in the tv menu (on homescreen)

Thanks.

Hansmuff25,

Thanks for the compliment, I am glad you like the theme.

I've only included support for WorldWeatherLite at this point. I generally prefer it to the full WorldWeather plugin and I struggle to get the full WorldWeather plugin to do all it is supposed to. But this could easily be adapted as it is simply a link to the plug-in and changing some colour codes. However I am not sure what has changed with the 1.3.2 release candidate so I will aim to do this shortly when 1.6 is released and WorldWeather has then been finalised.

I've had a quick look at click finder and it appears it does not have Titan support (only StreamedMP and default) so it would be a lot of work to create screen definitions from scratch for it. If there is a Titan skin update for Clickfinder then please let me know as it would be easy enough to link to those from the TV menu.

Do you have it working in Titan already?

Thank you. I have switched to Titan and it works there. BUT, it worked with Pulse8 too. And it works with Pulse8 after a restart again.
I will test more and we will see what happens. But i don´t believe that this is a Skin Problem...

Thanks!

GaryMartynUK,

clickfinder pg sfor Titan is available. Here are the Skin files:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/cpg_titan-zip.132615/

And here are the plugin dlls:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...gramguide_1-0-6-0_mp1-4_test_only-zip.132589/

I tried the Integration via basichome.submenus.xml, example here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/basichome-submenus-xml.119469/

This works, but not with overlay. I don't know the exact XML Syntax needed :-(

Maybe you can integrate clickfinder pg?

many thanks,

hansmuff

hansmuff25,

Looking at the files you attached, you have updated the basichome-submenus.xml just fine. There is however no overlay definition in the cpg_titan-zip file so there is nothing to link into on the main menu. You could simply disable the TV Overlay in the Pulse8 setting page if you con't want that, but it would take some time to create an overlay from scratch for Clickfinder in Titan as I am not familiar with this plug-in and it does not look like it has been done yet. I will look into it but it might take a couple of weeks as I have a lot planned this weekend.

It might be quicker however to contact the person who made the Clickfinder Titan skin and see if he/she has or is working on an overlay. He/She is clearly far more familiar with Clickfinder than I am (I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it). If so it is a simple job to link it in to Pulse8 once it is done, a bit of rescaling would be required but easy enough.

Chances are the person who made the ClickFinder skin files for Titan is going to be much quicker at making an overlay. I can then scale it for Pulse8 easily.
