Re: Feature request: Add DVD/Bluray boxes around fanart

might be something like

<frameheight>100</frameheight>
<framewidth>100</framewidth>
<posx>100</posx>
<posy>100</posy>

to adjust size and position but it might just automatically make it same as the poster. if it does and your blue ray cover has extra transparent pixels around it it would knock it out of place.

?

EDIT: I have seen the pictures of you modded skin files at here: http://www.sysprofile.de/galerie/id146957,2,1

how did you come accross this? would quite like to get hold of those modded files, not far off what i wanted to achieve.

Hello!
This mod is not for public cause there is too much "weird" stuff in there.
Maybe I could help you with what you want..but I don't know everything exactly. Its been a while since I've looked into facade.

powermarcel10
You have to look in movingpictures.fanart.facade.xml if you using Fanart Mod.
For round covers in coverflow view use this:

<cards flipY="yes" diffuse="Thumb_Mask.png" mask="video_poster_mask.png" />

Allright, thanks.. But what do I have to look for? I have tried to change the size of the frame in that file, but the size is still the samed.. :s

Maybe I can try to change the size of the fanart itself, but don't know wich one it is..

Can you help me with that?

EDIT: <cards flipY="yes" diffuse="Thumb_Mask.png" mask="video_poster_mask.png" /> doesn't work!!

If you changed the image but you did use the same name for it you must clear the skincache. If you don't clear it you won't see any difference.

Else you could change the frame size with:
<frameWidth>200</frameWidth>
<frameHeight>304</frameHeight>

in the coverflow <control> block in the facade xml.

Changing things in facade is always Trial and error.. I also don't know what all things do there. Very complex.

I know I have to clear the skin cach, I'm doing that every time I changed something..

Man, It's very complicated.. :s I have tried to change the frameWidth and height, but nothing helps.. I have tried to change so many things now, but the size of the fanart and the frame is staying exactly the same!! :s

BTW, here is a download link to a couple of very nice frames for DVD, bluray a couple of others..

WallStream Mod V2.rar

I really like to know how I can resize the covers!!!

<cards flipY="yes" diffuse="Thumb_Mask.png" mask="video_poster_mask.png" />

im just trying to get rounded covers using masks in all the views i use, managed it in movingpictures and tvseries filmstrip view using

<thumbs mask= "coverflow.poster.background1.png" flipY="true" diffuse="diffuseoverlay.png"/>

the highlighted thumbs in these pics is the main ones i been trying to mask for round covers

AW: Feature request: Add DVD/Bluray boxes around fanart

This covers are in various .xmls. You have to search a bit.. maybe its just an <image> where you need a mask not a whole view. (<coverflow>)

powermarcel10:
Are talking about coverflow or filmstrip?

In coverflow you can resize the movie cover with:
<cardWidth>200</cardWidth>
<cardHeight>300</cardHeight>

and the bluray frame with:
<frameWidth>200</frameWidth>
<frameHeight>304</frameHeight>

It really should work..

Re: Feature request: Add DVD/Bluray boxes around fanart

yeah im pretty sure i been editing the right files as i been able to change the size and apply overlays to all those images but cannot apply a mask to any of them at all, tried similar to what i did in film strip and tried same as how other skins have done it but doesnt seem to work in streamedmp.

Have you copied the image that other skins use for mask to your StreamedMP\Media folder?
