Leave this till later though, I have no wish to frustrate you trying to help on a phone, just the most impossible of tasks!

Short answers ok
An image of fanart you want named folder.jpg in each dir of episodes

I couldn't answer that as I have selected the option to replace the backgrounds on most of the screens. I tend to use the ones bundles with the "Amber" skin.

Thanks for finding the ] btw Smile

Remember when I posted about the "issue" I had with the files and library action of the submenu to the "Videos" on the home bar...? Well I posted a general question about this in the support section but can you remember both the "Files" and "Library" option always showing the same results when selected and not wha0t I remembered, pressing "Files" would show the storage areas that you have selected for the library to scan...?

Can't browse to well on phone to see answers in support section

Thanks for the offer, most kind Smile

I might get a response in the General Support section but all I wanted to know is if this was the typical behaviour of the "Files" and Library" option...? I fired up my secondary HTPC with Fodi 14 and that worked the same but I was sur ethat Gotham just allowed the "Files" option to just show the allocated library shares in the named folders etc you had given them.

Still it is not right to pose such questions here as I do not want to "pollute" your skin thread.

Thanks again ever so much for your continued development and wonderful support Smile

BTW Now that I understand you are making some changes to the backgrounds I will be tempted to try them out. The only reason that I prefer to use the "Amber" ones is that there golden or brown colouring matches the room where the main TV is situated, in terms of decor, over that of the very dominate blue of Confluence. Also I use (IIRC) the Ariel no capitals font.

Ok so I took the fanart.jpg from "The 100" parent folder (would seem we both have the same guilty pleasure with that series!) copied it to the Season 1 folder and renamed to "folder.jpg"

Backed up to the TV Shows level and re-scanned "the 100", then went into library mode to check, and both Seasons still display the standard library mode "renaming" convention, IE: E01 "The 100 S01E01 - Pilot" (my naming) displays as "01.Pilot" (library re-naming)

Separate note - I know the concept is to stay as true to Confluence as possible, which will keep all the Confluence guys who want a bit more happy, but in other ways I think that idea will hold this MOD back.

One change I propose is original CCM default background instead of Blue Bubbles - What do you guys think ?

Always liked the original CCM default background myself. +1 for that.

Okay let's not worry about Movies ATM as I've had a request to show movie years in the title & it's quite easy to remame the title.

In TVShows browsing in file mode I'm trying to see if the "folder.jpg" shows up as fanart instead of a black screen. Which as I understood it was your problem.


RE: CCM for Helix - evangelion - 2015-01-29

Sorry think you misunderstand mate, if I go through Videos>Files, this is what I get as a result (Media Info 3)

Image

If I go through TV Shows>Title, I get this:

Image

That's the Library mode (I think? as I said, never use it for this reason)

I'd like the 1st screenshot to be the default, or in other words, stop the Library Mode renaming the files.

And the fog clears Big Grin

Um, you might have to edit each episodes .nfo file for that and change the displayed name there rather than renaming each file. I've seen some pretty awsome .nfo editors around google may help.

From the MOD's postion that would be quite difficult because it's actually designed to run from the database to get all the associated artwork and info and not read the directory as info there is limited.

Gotcha, thought it might be the case. Oh well, back to Files mode! Smile

By the way, any plans to integrate TV Show Next Aired, and Extra Artwork, especially Logo's? Not wishing to apply any pressure of course, just curious Big Grin

hey man, I am on 3.0.6 now and visualisation on homescreen of projectm still doesn't work. I get a black screen, nothing more.

I have ...

"Fanart Background of Playing Media" enabled
and
"Music Visualization on Home Screen" enabled

"Artist Slideshow" script disabled

Any ideas?

thx,

boba
The new setting "Music Visualization on Home Screen" is the one that should allow it, try toggling it a few times also try with it off and also try with different visualisations to see if they work and get back to me with who does and doesn't work.

I don't have project on the laptop, but can try tonight with my main system

Hey,

tried as you suggested but nothing. If I have music vis on home screen enabled all I get is a black background, no matter which vis addon, tried all of em. Also tried toggling it a few times, reboot etc. Nothing ....

RE: CCM for Helix - Mudislander - 2015-01-29

Strange, so none of the visualization displays are working. One note music must be playing and not paused.

Anybody else having this problem because it works for me?

One note music? What do you mean. I am trying e.g. playing an internet radio stream, with which on default confluence vis on home screen works just fine.
Btw, I am on current KodiBuntu. So no Windows in sight here ... I only have the default Vis addons installed. Didn't try any other.
What exactly works for you? Project M as vis on home screen while playing music? Doesn't work for me for sure ...

boba


RE: CCM for Helix - Mudislander - 2015-01-29

I was supposed to say "Please Note" viz only plays while media playing not paused.

But you have just expanded your description & now I can tell you exactly what the problem is.

I bet you it works if you play a local music file Smile I remember stopping something there if the media was over the internet and I can only check when I get home but I'm sure thats the problem.

What are the dimensions in pixels for logo?

I think you have to keep bubbles if you still want confluence compatibility.
Otherwise my proposal for CCM's default background:

RE: CCM for Helix - Mudislander - 2015-01-29

Cool pic, Iet the majority rule Big Grin

The reason behind the change of heart over Confluence bubbles is I was contemplating a shot at the official repo, as there already is a Confluence there ATM it would be a NoNo, but with a few subtle changes and a logo and all - we may have a chance.

Anyway just a thought and not the end of the world.

If you want to try official repo then you are right. What is the aspect ratio or the dimensions for the logo? Are you gonna use CCM as skin's name?
