Simply open up your Viewtype_Multiplex.xml and find this group -
<control type="group">
<posx>921</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>
<control type="image">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>299</width>
<height>169</height>
<texture>common/black.png</texture>
<colordiffuse>94FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<animation effect="fade" start="50" end="50" time="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(darkmultiplex)">Conditional</animation>
</control>
<control type="largeimage">
<posx>2</posx>
<posy>2</posy>
<width>295</width>
<height>165</height>
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<fadetime>400</fadetime>
<texture>$INFO[Container(52).ListItem.Path,,extrathumbs/thumb1.jpg]</texture>
</control>

<control type="image">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>180</posy>
<width>299</width>
<height>169</height>
<texture>common/black.png</texture>
<colordiffuse>94FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<animation effect="fade" start="50" end="50" time="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(darkmultiplex)">Conditional</animation>
</control>
<control type="largeimage">
<posx>2</posx>
<posy>182</posy>
<width>295</width>
<height>165</height>
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<fadetime>400</fadetime>
<texture>$INFO[Container(52).ListItem.Path,,extrathumbs/thumb2.jpg]</texture>
</control>
</control>And replace it with this one - <control type="group">
<posx>921</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>
<control type="image">
<posx>50</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>236</width>
<height>352</height>
<texture>common/black.png</texture>
<colordiffuse>94FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<animation effect="fade" start="50" end="50" time="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(darkmultiplex)">Conditional</animation>
</control>
<control type="largeimage">
<description>Cover image</description>
<posx>52</posx>
<posy>2</posy>
<width>232</width>
<height>348</height>
<texture>$INFO[listitem.thumb]</texture>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
</control>
</control>

Thanks so much, I've been wanting this option since multiplex was announced.

This view you made is very important and urgently needed.

This Large Poster view should display when no fanart is available.
When there is fanart, what about this view then?

I dont know if its possible, but i am talking about a hybrid between your two mods you made that switches on the fly.

another quick and dirty one with tagline above and trailer :

plus, i don't have the hassle and limitation the extrathumbs currently have.. (though i'm sure i will use them once they are officially supported)..

thanks hitcher!

Hitcher, can you update this please for the new Multiplex. I would use the 2 thumbs if i could, but so many of my movies are stacked that it doesn't work. Cheers in advance.

I am working on adding them as painlessly as possible.

... and now the next request ...

If thumbs are missing then switch to large poster as a backup ... :nod:

Seems like at some point everybody has to become a skinner ???

Can't wait for the multiplex with poster to be compatible with new multiplex.
I hate the new multiplex. Hitcher, your Multiplex+Poster is the best ever made ! big fonts for title + big poster, best combo ever to navigate in library.

Hello I found a little Problem in your Code and want to share my Solution with you.

We all know the problem that most off the movieposter donīt have the same aspect ratio, some have 1.5 but most have less or more.
But we want to see the poster without cutting anything.

here ist my solution:

Original:
<control type="group">
<posx>921</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>
<control type="image">
<posx>50</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>236</width>
<height>352</height>
<texture>common/black.png</texture>
<colordiffuse>94FFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<animation effect="fade" start="50" end="50" time="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(darkmultiplex)">Conditional</animation>
</control>
<control type="largeimage">
<description>Cover image</description>
<posx>52</posx>
<posy>2</posy>
<width>232</width>
<height>348</height>
<texture>$INFO[listitem.thumb]</texture>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
</control>
</control>

] <control type="group">
<posx>921</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>
<control type="group">
<posx>921</posx>
<posy>18</posy>
<visible>![Skin.HasSetting(multiplexfanart) | Skin.HasSetting(multiplexbigthumb)]</visible>
<control type="largeimage">
<description>Cover image</description>
<posx>22</posx>
<posy>2</posy>
<height>350</height>
<texture>$INFO[listitem.thumb]</texture>
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
</control>
</control>



We lose a black border, but hell we win the hole picture.
The Trick is to take <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio> with <height>350</height> so every picture is fix in height but variable in weidth.

Sorry for my bad english its very late ;)
