sub I know we have discussed this before & couldn't find a solution but after the discussion in the "Bling" thread I have been thinking about it again & "before" I start making alternative Video skins & batch file to change them I thought I would bring it up again...
Currently I have something like
for the three different Views & in the past you said that it reads the fanart first so there is no way to have a visible=@fanArt type thing...Code:<Element name="CoversView" location="0,0" size="100,100" alpha="255" visibleItems="5"> <Image source="..\_BackgroundImages\Theatre.jpg" location="-1,-1" size="102,102"/> <Rect location="-1,-1" size="102,102" fillColor="PopupBlueMask" borderColor="Transparent" borderWidth="0"/> <Text text="Videos" location="12,4.57" size="22,4.26" font="ScreenName" borderColor="ScreenNameText" outlineWidth="1" align="Center" valign="Bottom"/> <Text text="Videos" location="66,4.57" size="22,4.26" font="ScreenName" borderColor="ScreenNameText" outlineWidth="1" align="Center" valign="Bottom"/> </Element>
My thought was if it could display an alternative/default fanart image (from the skin\video directory maybe?) if it didn't find one in the directory the video file was in may get around my problem & also be of use to other users??
