Hi,
when selecting the multiplex view for the movie-section there is no indication of the "watched"-Status of a movie (except for the context menu) In other views however there is. Is this a bug or intentional? And if this is intentional how can i circumvent this?

Regards

This is an omission, so to speak... it was fixed after my request, but then it disappeared again.. It is easy to fix by yourself by the way..

Download XML Notepad from Microsoft.. (Free)

Open up Viewtype_Multiplex.xml

Search for ItemLayout.
Add a new control tag (or copy and paste an existing, then modify it)
(make sure it is the last control tag in the category, since it then will be on top of the icon, and not hidden behind the thumb)

Use the following values:

Code:

<control type="image">
<posx>55</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>45</width>
<height>45</height>
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
<texture>dialogs/movies/$INFO[ListItem.Overlay]</texture>
</control>

Then add (almost) the same Tag to Focusedlayout
(make sure it is the last control tag in the category, since it then will be on top of the icon, and not hidden behind the thumb)

Code:

<control type="image">
<posx>55</posx>
<posy>-13</posy>
<width>55</width>
<height>55</height>
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
<texture>dialogs/movies/$INFO[ListItem.Overlay]</texture>
<animation type="focus">
<effect type="fade" start="0" end="100" time="200"/>
<effect type="slide" start="0,0" end="10,5" time="200"/>
</animation>
<animation type="unfocus">
<effect type="fade" start="100" end="0" time="200"/>
<effect type="slide" end="0,0" start="10,5" time="200"/>
</animation>
</control>

Itemlayout and focusedlayout desides what the checkmark will look like when its unselected and selected.

The animation bit, just fades the checkmark in slightly when selected..

You can play around with the values for size, pos, width and length if you don't like the position of the check mark.

Remember to restart Xbmc between each edit of the xml file to see changes.
