No problem.

You should be able to just press "back" (backspace on keyboard) when on the home screen main menu to get to the music visualisation. Alternatively, irc the TAB key should switch straight to the music visualisation.

Hi jurialmunkey
I'have a question. I have a lot of movie and every movie is in a single folder with the same name. With mediaelch i download the cd art, the banner and all others stuff available for each movie. I have Artwork downloader installed and in the config the option "us local folder" is on
Why I can't see those artwork as in the preview in the first page of this post?

Cheers

Are you speaking of the movie posters on the first page of the Artic thread?

If you go to movies and push up twice, you should see this.
If you want to see if always just go to Settings > Skin > Home and change "Home Style to "Panel"

Hope this helps


Jurial, something I've been trying to do, I've added the "Genres" button under movies, but when I go to "Genres", the only option is "Big List" Can we get other options here in the "Genre" view?

Also, what's the format of adding Fanart to the Genre view? (Possible to get Cover Flow added to view options?)


Thanks in Advance


RE: Arctic - Hetfiled - 2013-08-22

Hi jurialmunkey

is it possible to have the white banner in homepage with fade?

thanks

Would you ever consider supporting plexbmc? Amber supports it and I love it, but I would like to try this on for size.

Usualy i enter my music directory about artist in wall view, then Big cover on the albums and Low list for the single album.
Sometimes when i leave the view with the albums of an artist i end up in a big list view containing either only the last used or all artists(seems random) now i have to go up in the tree (choose artist, album etc , the point were i can choose what i wanna see as standard view) when i enter artist again everything is back to normal.
Yes that is strange. I've never had that happen to me. If you find out anything else of interest that causes it to happen, let me know and I'll look into it. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what would cause that.

If you are having issues with Artwork Downloader finding your local artwork, you will have to ask about it in the Artwork Downloader thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114633

If you are having problems with artwork only in a specific part of the skin, then I need more details about where it is happening.

Yeah, I've been meaning to do this for a while, just haven't found the time (been busy last two weeks). The problem with Genres is that the artwork isn't handled the same way as things in the library - so every viewtype needs special code just to handle genre artwork, and then there isn't an easy way for users to change that artwork other than editing the actual image files by hand. Also, there is the issue of what to show when there isn't any artwork to show - for instance, in my library there are a bunch of genres (such as: indie, foreign, suspense etc.) that do not have specific genre art - so in the big list they just show the default genre image -- when using something like the poster view, this becomes a problem because there is no way to tell what they are quickly and easily. And all the view types with some sort of info (e.g. low or medium list) or fanart (wall panel, panel list etc.) don't have anything to show in those areas. Nonetheless, I will add classic poster and wall view for genres when I get the chance.

Never used it. Maybe eventually, but not for the time being. I'll have a look into how Amber supports it and see how big a job it would be. The biggest problem for me is that I don't use it so I can't test it!

If by fade you mean transparency, then its not really possible because of the dark panel behind that slides up.

For onscreen info: to show the plot you just need to press "up" after bringing up the info.
If you are talking about showing the poster instead of the logo, you need to turn off "Settings > Skin > OSD > Prefer clearlogo for video". To enable the discart you need to turn on "Settings > Skin > General > Enable CDart"


RE: Arctic - jurialmunkey - 2013-08-25

UPDATE: 0.3.3 -- OSD Updates
Added an option for a smaller video osd (see images).
Moved the osd controls to the top of the screen.
Poster/logo now shown when pausing.

RE: Arctic - hoopsdavis - 2013-08-25

Hey Jurial, were you still planning to add the addtional view options to the "Movies: Genre" screen?


RE: Arctic - jurialmunkey - 2013-08-25

I'm actually adding classic poster for genres right now Wink
I just need to make a smaller banner for the bottom of the poster to show the genre name, then it should be ready.
EDIT: Classic Poster view now added to genres.

thank you for your answer (and for new update)

could be an idea make both panels with transparency ?


RE: Arctic - PatOso - 2013-08-25

jurialmunkey, is possible add to view slideshow extrathumbs in the info panel for movie?.
Thanks.............................Huh


RE: Arctic - ferent - 2013-08-25

Hi jurialmunkey,

In my library I have documentaries with many episodies, and XBMC show each episode as the same film. The only way to see the difference between them would be to show the real path in the info movie screen.
I know you want to keep the layout as clean as possible, but maybe you can show this path only if the Update button is focused... It's only a suggest.

Thanks for this skin. I love it!
