View Full Version : Screen Image switching for XBOXMEDIACENTER.XML
i love the way we are currently able to have multiple images associated with a button in the home.xml
i'm hoping the dev that did this (who are you?) will extend this to work for the buttonscroller which is based in xboxmediacenter.xml
i use the buttonscroller and think it is the best way to have many buttons in a small screen space. i'd just like to use the image changing feature which adds lots of class to the hoem screen.
thanks!
the images do change when you alter the homepage to button scroller :) i tried it myself.
please post your code.
i tried and cannot get it to work... and choke said it does not.
i dont have it anymore... top of my head...
i changed the home.xml defaultcontrol to 300
copy and pasted pm2 button scroller controlgroup above the pm3 buttons control group. removed the pm3 buttom control group.
removed the pm3 button image. changed the onup ondown left right controls and that was it. it worked fine.
i know it did because i seen it with my own eyes lol
i don't see how any of that would change the outcome. ]
how did you define the multiple images per control?

control for these is done in skin. its not a function of xbmc at all at moment its using vis tags to turn off and on images.
id love to see a way where you could go image is f:/pictures
instead of f:/pictures/1.jpg and it would cycle though the folder if it was a valid folder
bp,
do you know how to set this up so it works with the buttonscroller?
dont ask me how but when i was on my videos on button scroller it showed the slideshow relevant to that when i moved to music the music slideshow etc... etc...
the only thing i noticed was the pictures did not fill the screen so the fade was a rather bit to much overpowering when using scroller...

so its impossible at moment the cvs needs to change to support it. button scroller is locked to ids as well so you would have to use fade tags which is just a dirty hack really. it will go though about 3-4 and finish it cant loop or anything.

choke has looked at this abit and asked for slight cvs changes so you can loop times this would allow for a continuous loop of pictures. hopefully someone picks it up sometime.
i personally would like to be able to pick a folder to slideshow likw slideshow works now but make it an overlay like the audio or movie overlay that would rock, settings for timing and etc would just use picture slideshow settings and maybe even the resize and fade effects of the pics slideshow.
that would be my request, there are a few issues with mem and also if you use jpgs when you switch to it there would be a slight delay as textures wouldnt be compressed.
a folder slideshow would be cool. as for loading times, the code should be able to preload the images x seconds before the next image needs to be shown... this should not be too difficult.
