Display when a movie is off-line

[r.byatt]

What I would like to do is displayed on the screen when a movie is "off line".

I can display the file name but it would be nice to just display either “On Line” or “Off Line”

I thought I might be able to have some text with a decision in it like :if the file name (Parameter) is not "video_ts.ifo then display "On Line" else "Off Line"

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Two ideas off the top of my head, but these may require a certain amount of work depending on how you currently use Xlobby:

1) Maybe use one of the scripting plugins? (I think it's called XScriptNG).

2) Or, if you maintain a movie database using Ant, you could use one field to say "online" or "offline" as appropriate. Then setup the XAnt plugin to save this entry to a variable of your choice, and display this variable on the screen somewhere.

Or just make two fields for each movie entry called "Online" and "Offline" and populate with the same text....

On your skin, have both fields in the same spot - if it's Offline, the text will show because the Online field will be blank, and vice versa.

Thanks for the reply's

I'm thinking that the easiest way might be manipulating the xml database with a script every time I refresh it.

Add a field and populate it with Offline if the movie location (Parameter) is "video_ts.ifo.

Thanks again
