Theater View Changes Coming Soon

<< < (3/6) > >>

Moe:
 I know I haven't been around much lately, but as Lepa's old partner in crime (although I have been looking at his tail lights for quite some time now) I am more than happy to help as well.

lepa:
This is my current screen setup. I've written quite comprehensive instruction how to get there. It looks much more work than it actually is. (I think that me writing those instructions was plenty of more work than setting it up) I don't know what other steps I could give to accomplish that. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,135179.msg946024.html#msg946024

Problem here is how to align all the parts when there are variables like Resolution, OS scaling and MC scaling which affects the positioning. That's why this kind of setup with current theaterview tools isn't practical to have as default. That said, it can offer some ideas to create view which can be more foolproof withing those variables eventhough they will always have some effect on location of the items.

Because of placement of the items, something like this (entry screen.jpg) would be more realistic for default view https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,137456.msg954367.html#msg954367

I don't know what the plan is. Is it just to use current system to make default views look nicer or is there gonna be some real changes how one can build the views. One thing that could regardless be worked on is the metadata. MC does now really nice job to read media properties but it could be better at scraping the data from online sources like tmdb (not sure if omdb is possible for commercial products). I only use MCUtils to get the data as it scrapes more fields and does some things better like Ratings or Actors.

Navigation: to better navigate e.g. from movie to movie the linking would need some upgrades as discussed before. Other option would be more tighter integration of spotlight to actual views. e.g. in context of movies creating actor module or similar movies module which can be inserted to view and from where you could navigate to other places.

lepa:
one idea

Both.

It would be nice to use our servers to store some of this.

Thanks again for your contributions.

cncb:
How were the icons (DTS, 5.1 Channels. etc.) obtained?  Would there be copyright issues if we included them with MC?
