I've been having a real problem with this in many skins. I can't seem to find view types that list the movie along with the IMDB rating. I have a LOT of movies and TV shows. Most of them, I actually don't know what they are about. Sometimes I don't care what I'm watching, other times, I just want to ensure what I'm going to see is good.

Particularly if we could add these in the Fan Art View that would be Amazing! Just as an option. Maybe some other people would like this as well? Right now though, Aeon Nox is the only skin I know of that seems to do this while showing a LOT of the Fan Art so it's what I use but I'd like some options rather than being stuck with one skin.

Not even Aeon MQ had this option for some reason.
Example Below:

T! does display the imdb rating in fanart view.

I too use Aeon Nox, but love T! and still have it, The fanart view if I recall DOES have the ratings I thought?

EDIT: Opps beat to the post lol

[Jay1220]

Is it possible to have the "fanart" or whatever view be saved somewhere in the settings? I notice if I select something it doesn't stay that way.

Also where can I find T! is it pre installed with fusion or XMBC Wizard? Imdb ratings sound nice always looking them up manually on my iPhone.

[ronie]

T! = Transparency! and we're in it's forum
i assume we are discussing this skin and not something else.

[tential]

Yes, T! shows it, but only one at a time. I'm talking about adding it so it's next to the movie title like how I showed. This is how it looks in T!


Even if it's just a toggle option under the settings that would be great. Actually preferable even. Notice the difference though.
Edit: I probably should have shown them side by side in the OP, that would have made it make more sense haha.

[ronie]

ah, ok... that's not something i want to add to the skin.

[tential]

Alright worth a shot! Thanks for your time.

i have plot preview turned on in fanart view, which then hides the movie rating? anyway to have both?

nope, there's no option for that in T!

I also prefer having secondary label available (very useful for IMDb ratings)

It's quite easy to achieve it manually, just edit View-Fanart.xml and at the beginning replace

Code:

                <control type="label">
                    <posx>10</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>305</width>
                    <height>30</height>
                    <font>font-20</font>
                    <textcolor>white</textcolor>
                    <selectedcolor>blue</selectedcolor>
                    <align>left</align>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
                </control>

for

Code:

                <control type="label">
                    <posx>10</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>310</width>
                    <height>30</height>
                    <font>font-20</font>
                    <textcolor>white</textcolor>
                    <selectedcolor>blue</selectedcolor>
                    <align>left</align>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
                </control>
                <control type="label">
                    <posx>320</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>310</width>
                    <height>30</height>
                    <font>font-20</font>
                    <textcolor>lightblue</textcolor>
                    <selectedcolor>blue</selectedcolor>
                    <align>right</align>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label2]</label>
                </control>

Do you have a screen of what it looks like? I'm a disaster with fiddlign with XBMC. Would like to see what it looks like before I attempt to screw up everything to get it haha.

[ezechiel1917]

its really easy Just follow the instructions and you will have IMDb ratings next to every title in your list (on left side to watched checkboxes)

[tential]

Thanks! Works perfectly and looks great. Wish had more skins had this option.

Time to go acquire some more movies now!

IMDB rating is nice, but when will XBMC allow personal movie ratings in skins? 5 stars in a row that allow viewer a easy one click rating.
