[FR] Setting default views

Recommended Posts

Work is underway to provide a mechanism to set default views as often requested.

 

This requires both a skin and addon update.  The Aeon Nox and XBMB3C Gits have this ready to try.  Setting is accessed from the AddOn root menu.

I added more view types.  I am marking this complete but please test more.

Just got round to testing this and have to say Awesome addition  :)  Works perfectly and easy to integrate. 

 

I have now added support to both Eminence and AeonMQ5 and updated the repo with a new version of the XBMB3C add-on.

Make a file in 'skin.xperience1080plusplus' called 'views.xml' containing this:

<views>
    <view id="View50" value="50" />
    <view id="View53" value="53" />
    <view id="View56" value="56" />
    <view id="View57" value="57" />
    <view id="View502" value="502" />
    <view id="View503" value="503" />
    <view id="View504" value="504" />
    <view id="View505" value="505" />    
    <view id="View506" value="506" />    
    <view id="View507" value="507" />    
    <view id="View508" value="508" />
    <view id="View509" value="509" />
    <view id="View510" value="510" />
    <view id="View511" value="511" />
    <view id="View513" value="513" />
    <view id="View60" value="60" />
    <view id="View600" value="600" />
    <view id="View552" value="552" />
    <view id="View652" value="652" />
    <view id="View566" value="566" />
    <view id="View577" value="577" />    
    <view id="View582" value="582" />        
</views>

Go through and set each one, and change the "ViewXXX" to the correct name.  This is the tedious bit - but it would be appreciated.

 

Some of the views may not work because they are only for special cases.

I just had a look in 1080++ folder and the file already exist

<views>
    <view id="List" value="50" />
    <view id="BannerPlex" value="53" />
    <view id="LoveFilm" value="566" />
    <view id="WallVideo" value="502" />
    <view id="PosterInfo" value="56" />
    <view id="LowInfoList" value="57" />
    <view id="VideoWall" value="582" />
    <view id="PanelCarousel" value="503" />    
    <view id="BannerCarousel" value="504" />
    <view id="ClassicPoster" value="506" />
    <view id="Landscape" value="507" />
    <view id="PanelVideo" value="508" />
    <view id="BannerPanelVideo" value="509" />
    <view id="PanelWall" value="510" />
    <view id="LowList" value="511" />
    <view id="LandscapeCarousel" value="513" />
    <view id="Banner" value="60" />    
    <view id="BannerOriginal" value="600" />
    <view id="InfoList" value="552" />
    <view id="Top250InfoList" value="652" />
</views>

Just to know what this does. Does this fix the issue of having to set a view to each show on the season level. Like if i want Banner view for TV and at season level i want Low list, will i be able to set this globally for all shows at once?

Yes - that is what it does.  Go into the main addon directory list and you will find a 'Set Views' directory.

You need to scroll down to nearly the very bottom where there is an option to set the views (below Search and above Edit Background Image List)

Hi,

 

Sorry for the noob question.. but I cannot locate this in the Ttian skin.... do we look for this from "add-on browser", or is there another "add-on" somewhere? Do I have to be in the "videos" section, or somewhere else?

 

Thanks!

Hi, this is an old feature and not needed if your using either Titan or 1080XF. The views are set automagically now, so that it mimics the native Kodi library experience

But it is also available in Titan and really nice if you want different views for different collections with the same media type.

You have to go to Videos or Music -> Addons -> Mediabrowser -> bottom of the list!

Thanks for letting me know.  So, if I change one folder to be all "large poster", it will do this for all other folders? (I have fodlers for kids movies, tv shows, classics, foreign, et cetera)

 

Once ... don't ask me how... I did get to see the screen noted above, but for the life of me, I have no idea how I got there and never was able to find my way back.
