I've just finished Issue 711 (see the sticky skin thread) and now you have banners AND posters for each of the TV shows so you could choose to display either if you wanted depending on where you are in the index.... I'll leave it to you to work out

Oh, and this is just the first pass of the code, so if you need changes let me know and I'm happy to sort it out

A screenshot would greatly help with how it looks like, but without knowing what it looks like, I would ask you to look at the skin.properties file. Assuming you're using the normal unmodded skin, these 3 lines should present somewhere in your skin.properties file without a "#" to the left of it:
thumbnails.width=117
thumbnails.height=174
thumbnails.normalize=true

Make sure it's that way, but even if it already is, make sure to delete all your previously generated moviename_small.png files, then regenerate. Reboot your NMT and try viewing your jukebox again.

(08-25-2009 07:47 PM)excal Wrote:  [QUOTE='pascal.berger' pid='231127' dateline='1251216519']yes this is possible and how i have it setup in redefined. I setup the coding to use banners when i originally made the skin with the thought that one day we'd have them.

Essentially you just have to make a choose statement





use this layout for tv shows.




use default layout






i don't remember the exact path for the current index you have to use, but if you open up my index.xsl file in redefined you can copy and paste it outta there.


NOTE: actually i just remembered i set it to be spelled wrong so it'd never be found currently. I think you just have to change TV+Shows to be TV_Shows (or however it looks in the xml file).

you MIGHT be able to get around this with some background trickery. But you'd have to maintain tight control of the focus. Every key would have to be accounted for. I'd have to test it out to know for sure. But i suspect your concerns are correct

(08-25-2009 08:54 PM)mhut Wrote:  Regarding the great update news about the tv banners, i think that, coming to this point, may be very very interesting to have at least two separate indexes (or even jukeboxes), one exclusively for tvshows (with the banners on the indexes) and another to the movies (with wallview). So then, is easy to set two links on the hdd root index.html, each one pointing to movie jukebox and tv jukebox.
I bet that both jukeboxes can include a link on the categories/genres filter to quickly switch between movies and tvshows (avoiding going to hdd root index to click on the desired juke).
But reading the last posts, maybe i can bet also that ejp can make it even more easy with banners for tv and posters for movie both living on the same jukebox as actually.

(08-26-2009 12:13 AM)ejp Wrote:  Lol. Is the skinning easy enough?

I don't really listen to music on my PCH. Is Wandidj's Music Jukebox the preferred music jukebox? Are there any other music jukeboxes, or does Wandidj have a monopoly on that?

(08-26-2009 04:38 AM)AlexNC Wrote:  No idea. I am too illiterate to know if it is easy. I assume it is since some others have made skins. Personally, it is the best music player I have used on the PCH. It allows album art, tag editting, playlist generation and many other user settings.

(08-23-2009 12:39 PM)AbMagFab Wrote:  Bummer... I was hoping this would work like the 5150 skin, where the trailers would be shown on the main movie details page. This is how I group my Bonus/Extras, and like seeing them all together with the movie.

Any thoughts on updating this skin to support Extras/Bonus like 5150? I prefer the Aeon UI, but need to have the grouped extras.

I'm sorry. The skin currently does not accommodate extras that way. The skin really does try to utilize as much screen space as possible. If someone were to have 20 extras (as an exaggeration ... because you know there's that one person with 20 extras), I wouldn't know where to put it.

It might be possible to implement this when I make an alternative view for movies that looks similar to the TV shows view.

(08-26-2009 06:02 AM)AbMagFab Wrote:  Couldn't you do some sort of pop-up?

Or, do like the 5150 skin, where you show them in the description space (since like 99% of them will fit), and then start truncating the description if it gets too many? And if you did them in columns, you would satisfy 99.999% of situations.
