Title: Editing Text Displayed In Theater View on XML File?
Post by: kewe65 on February 23, 2009, 04:37:27 pm
I found this comment related to a different post about putting Time on Theater View pages.

Is it possible to add other database fields using this method?  I really want to customize what is displayed for the currently selected or playing track, for instance, adding to the list on the lower right that shows album title, track number, etc...

....In Obsidian's main.xml, add the following lines like this:

Code: [Select]
<TEXT>
        <Item Text="[Time] ([Zone])" Location="" TextColor="FFFFFF" Rect="RootText\50,0,100,100" Capitalization="0" Alignment="1" Alpha="40"/>
        <Item Text="[Time] ([Zone])" Location="**\" TextColor="FFFFFF" Rect="0,1,10,5" Capitalization="0" Alignment="1" Alpha="40"/>
</TEXT>

The placement and size (determined by the Rect numbers) is configured for my screens (1920x1080) but hopefully you get the idea if you need to tweek it.

It would be brilliant if other db fields were available like date etc...

If there are other specific tokens you would like, let us know.

Well, ideally any of them at my choosing, including custom ones.  Maybe the option to replace the file size and file type that are there right now with 3-5 of my own choosing? 

There's quite a bit of real estate on the screen that i could use for Notes that I've added.
