Oh, the new version of mediabrowser add-on is available on the beta repo, this should include the android fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_slayer 103 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Fixed... It now works for both movies and tvshows. Just use the normal XBMC infodialog. I'll push new beta online later today Awesome, works for me I restyled the movieinfo dialog today and added a discart animation. Please try latest beta (available within an hour) and let me know :-) Cool, I see it in there. Top may be better than side but it looks nice the way you included it Yes, that are tiles for your collections in MB3... I choose a while back to add the first 5 tiles by default with the skin. Because the whole menusystem is very flexible now and users can add them for theirselves as they need, this is no longer needed. I removed them as of this build, it was kind of a legacy thing. Also there was an error in the last beta that caused the widgets to stop functioning. Is fixed in new release later today. I have all widgets working now, but the skin still adds the MB3 collection tiles by default I've not tried removing them manually just yet. I'll play around with it and report back Lots of nice work in short order Not sure if it's worth commenting, but typically in your native VideoInfoDialog you would put "Play" first and "Trailer" second. This is since about 90% of the time you're looking to play whatever you selected, but every once in a while you hit "right" on your remote to play the trailer. Also, the trailers usually only show up in Movies, but I'm not sure how that is "typically" skinned?? Is it possible in Titan for you to make it conditional for movies and tv shows? I can't think of a situation where you could watch a trailer for a tv show episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a situation where you could watch a trailer for a tv show episode 1) Yeah, I decided to go for the side discart because there isn't much space. I'll play/try with it some further but I'm pretty shure that the top isn't very nice but I'll give it a try :-) 2) Those MB3 collection tiles will not be added anymore for new users only, if youé upgrading you won't looose anything. You can offcourse remove them by yourself or just reset the shortcuts to defaults. 3) Yeah I noticed too late (after pushing the update to repo) that the order of the buttons was wrong, will fix that The trailer button should only be visible if there's a local trailer available, the YouTube trailer button will always display. EDIT: fixed the order for the buttons in new beta v .35 Edited December 1, 2014 by marcelveldt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: fixed the order for the buttons in new beta v .35 You're totally right about your disc positioning, top wouldn't look good at all with your videoinfo screen The MB3 collection tiles did in fact disappear after I did a fresh install of Helix RC1 (I love how easy it is to demolish/restart an existing OpenELEC setup :-) though I'm getting a little remote control setup overkilled at this point) Not sure that you are using github for titan, but have any other skinners communicated with you to find what your fix was for playing from the native dialog? I had hoped that mentioning it here would pique interest http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/13262-built-in-video-info-screens/?p=153788 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should all be okay... I think the problem was related to your specific version of Android (maybe some old version ?), I don't know exactly, the only fix I did was is extra including some external components.

I had hoped that mentioning it here would pique interest http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/13262-built-in-video-info-screens/?p=153788 What I did was a workaround... My personal opinion is that the native info dialog should just work, I see absolutely no benefit in creating a seperate infodialog just for the MB3 add-on... So with trial-and-error I worked around the issues so make it work. Basically the problem was that XBMC gets the wrong contenttype reported by the addon. So for example you want to show the info dialog for a movie (from mb3 addon), the contenttype in xbmc was reported as "episode". I think the other skinners know about this issue too (and how to fix it) but they tend to embrace the special infodialog from the add-on, it's a matter of personal taste/choice I guess... What should be fixed is the fact that the contenttype is wrongly reported to xbmc. Yesterday I doscovered that this also the case in the player itself; a quick test learned me that while playing a movie, xbmc reports the content to be episode. This is something that has to be fixed in the add-on, for now I created a workaround in the Titan skin but that;'s not a solution in my opinion. I must say that I don't know all about that piece of code in the add-on but I'll shure take a look. BTW: I forgot to ask; What do you think of the changes I made in the infodialog ? I had to rebuild the whole thing just to make some room for the discart and I'm curious if users like it better over what it was...

dark_slayer 103 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Cool, thanks for that info. How can you tell? When I press the i button during playback I see codec info and system stats, but never anything indicating episode vs movie Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to cross post your info, because I think this should be further discussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like it much better Sorry, I know very little about skinning. I'd looked at mods like this before http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=198316 and thought it was just a simple edit, but to the unknowledgable I suppose everything is easy :-) Thank you for moving the titan skin along these directions I basically feel like without discart, YouTube trailers, clear art, actors, plots, etc there is not much to compel someone to use mb3 at all since PleXBMC had the posters and playback / watched status tracking longer ago. I never used that since it was so limited on the things I just mentioned. If my xbmc experience gets to that point I figure I might as well just have used a roku. That's my $.02 anyway, so thanks for fixing all that stuff in Titan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that the skinner knows in his code. For example there are checks with "Videplayer.Content(movie)" and stuff like that. This is more something for the forum discussions about the addon itself. Like I said, I will shure take a look at that code in the addon but not everything in there is clear to me I can/will take a look at this later this week. Please let me know where you created a new forum topic, we will move this conversation to there... Edited December 2, 2014 by marcelveldt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcelveldt 736 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thank for including the patch in the new repo, it seem the Error/URL have stopped. I recalled, you had mentioned something is missing in my box hence the issue, and the need for the patch. I am curious as to what the specific issue is, and other issues which may hinder the overall performance of my Android, Apology as realized this not the forum for this sort question, but I thought may helpif I ask. Thanks Well, apparently on android we needed to include some extra libraries in the code to get it working on that platform. I was a wild guess from me after reading your error logs and it worked ;-) Please note that android comes in all kinds of flavours so impossible for us to keep up with that, sometimes we just have to find out about an issue because a user experiences it.

marcelveldt 736 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Is it reasonable to assume I should continue to provide log issues as part of the ongoing testing exercise if something will show up that could assist writing a code patch for my box? If you experience any issues with the add on you may report this to the addons topic. But now its working fine right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcelveldt 736 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Have you got netflixbmc working on helix rc2 with this skin? I just installed the latest (1.3.5 with yesterday's github commits) but I get script failed popping up. Just wondered what build you used or if it's just that the Netflix plugin isn't helix ready yet and your comments are about the frodo version Yes, mine is working although I haven't tried the latest git version yet.

shaefurr 1337 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I just wanted to say that I personally think this skin is the best one ive seen from any client ive used, its just sooooo gorgeous. Plus it pairs perfectly with Steams big picture mode. Excellent skin, EXCELLENT! It's actually finally pulled me away from MBT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOS4 0 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Have tried every single skin out there and just love this one. I do have a few requests that would - for me - make it absolutely perfect. - The option to have the audio and subtitle sync bar (where you shift the subtitles or audio by x seconds) displayed as a full width bar at the very top of the screen, only using little space (certain subtitles tend to keep going out of sync so I'd have the sync bar open at all times to perform adjustments on the fly). Instructions on where to find this so that I can edit this myself would be an alternative I could defenitely live with if you don't want to include this - Have the OSD standard active button be the subtitles button Great work. Like I said, I absolutely love this skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Im curious if its possible to have the premiere date added to the TV show widget, since you cant access the info page on those items it would be nice to just have that displayed, maybe above the rating or something.
