Low Shelfcase for MQ6 & MQ7 (Updated for MQ8 Leia) - the_bo - 2016-06-14

**UPDATE**

Hi Everyone Big Grin

Id like to share the mod i made to the shelfcase view. Ive modded the shelf to be smaller so more titles get shown on screen plus more room for fanart to show.

This works with both MQ6 and MQ7 and updated for MQ8 Leia. Thanks to original author of shelfcase view Smile

There will be a little editing of xml files not too difficult, ill provide instructions below.

Without further ado heres how it looks Cool

Instructions - MQ8 Leia

1. Open file customviewsvideo.xml

Use search for word shelf you should see code like following

xml:
<include content="viewsselector_item">

                    <param name="id" value="63" />

                    <param name="label" value="31809" />

                    <param name="view" value="viewshelf" />

                    <param name="type" value="video" />

                    <param name="visible" value="![String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),episodes) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),years) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),programs)]" />   

                </include>

Under that paste the following and save file

xml:
<!-- Shelfcase Mod -->

                <include content="viewsselector_item">

                    <param name="id" value="74" />

                    <param name="label" value="Shelf Case" />

                    <param name="view" value="viewshelfcase" />

                    <param name="type" value="video" />

                    <param name="visible" value="![String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),episodes) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),years) | String.IsEqual(skin.string(videocontent),programs)]" />   

                </include>

Add the number 74 to the end

xml:
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(viewshelf_video)">ViewShelf</include>

Under that paste the following

Here is my xml file :

Just rechecked the file and bluray covers showing fine on my system. Does your movies have bluray in the file name?. If they dont can you try testing adding a movie with bluray in the name of the movie file.

Thanks

Can you give examples of how your Bluray and DVD movies are named. I could alter the code to show the cases if there's other words in filename. Eg if there's a HD in your filename I could use that to show Bluray case.

Thanks

Hello, all of my movies have cases in other views, mkv, more and also some Bluray Iso.
For example, Blood Diamond.iso, Evasion.iso, Amazonia.iso and more and more in Mkv. If you can change Something to have cases in all of them, it will be nice. The name as you can see have the good extension name at the top of the jacket but no cases around! So mistake for me. Thanks a lot
