View Full Version : movie view similar to new apple movie trailers script?
It would be nice if the movies view could borrow from the apple movie trailers script as far as formatting of elements on the screen. I would like to see a my videos view that let us have larger cover art on the left, a list of movies to scroll on the right and the description of the movie at the bottom like the new apple trailers script? It is a nice layout and would adapt to the video section nicely if u have a lot of dvd or divx movies on ur xbox.... anyone else think this is a good idea?
this is mostly possible today for the database views. in particular title view could be easily skinned like this. the size of the listpanel would need to be reduced to leave some space on the left for a large cover, and some space on the bottom for info. then as you move through the list, the cover and info should update accordingly. i say its "mostly" possible today, because not all movie info is available through the LISTITEM info labels.
I hope someone will incorporate this view into a future revision of xbmc. I am not a coder, otherwise I would love to do it. It is a good format to scroll through movies and see what each movie is about without having to go the extra step to see the imbd info. hopefully someone will incorporate it. otherwise, could a script be used that looked at a specific directory? this would work likr the movie trailers script. thanks for xbmc, it is my favorite software.
you're not getting what he just said. what you are asking for is do-able within the skin engine of XBMC as it is right now. There is no need for a script or anything to be added, someone (like you) just needs to whip up an edit of the Project Mayhem III skin. That's not super hard, just requires editing XML files and reading instructions.
