A requst for Theater View


--- Quote ---It's just a shame that MC does not allow the adding of cover art, summary of new episodes, new movies imported and other stats and graphics in the various screens. It could have made skins so much better.

I made a screenshot with a quick idea about what this could be used for,
Here it's the movie section, in this quick idea it shows how many movie there are in the library,
and shows an image for the last imported movie.
This is just a quick picture, it's just to show what I mean.

The main problem for showing such numbers as "total movies" in libraries is that MC has little tools to find the total of for example episodes in a TV Show, Episodes in a Season and so on. If I have understood the situation correctly. If such a tool for periodically, or on the fly calculation, of the number of items in the database was available, this could be a lot easier to add to theater view views. Both on the front page and a summary of counters on views for TV Shows and Movies.

Usable combinations could be Numbers of "Not watched" items on TV Shows or Seasons. Total number of TV Shows and Movies on the main menu and so on. Those things had been even more effective if there was a way of showing the Small info pane at more than the bottom level...

The total movies number is just an example,
it could be a lot of things, as You said "Not watched" is a good idea.

I'm wondering how hard it is to implant this ??

The best solution is to simply allow us to define expressions in the skin definition file(s). That way we can display any calculated library value we need.

That is right, this would be absolutely amazing if could be done like that.

But this would only cover text, we also need a way to show an image in some cases,
like if use last imported, if would be nice to show the cover from the movie or capture
an image from ex. tmdb, and be able to define the size and position of it.
