Video screen acting strange

[sagitaz]

can you test this : Unzip to the colbySkin2 folder

ok, when i goto that screen, it shows my series, then i select a season, then an episode - but instead of playing, it then goes to MY tv screen...

[edit]
even if i click 'play mode' this happens.
but in any case, I think having to click 'open' or 'play' isnt the solution - it should open until the file, then play at the lowest level.

[edit 2]
i'm also thinking another idea - what if we make an overlay?
like, pick series, then pick season, then pick episode and that opens overlay with info on the show, which has a 'play' button?

[edit 3]
ok, i figured it out.
if i rename my old tv screen, the new one works fine (i also had to fix the mpc path). then it works.
but i'm still stuck with the open vs play buttons. i'd rather it be one normal setting - open until bottom level, then play...

my tv series folder :


series\
series\alias - saison 1
series\alias - saison 2
series\alias - saison 3
series\alias - saison 4
series\charmed - saison 1
series\charmed - saison 2
series\charmed - saison 3
series\charmed - saison 4

i'm create a "serietv" database with this template ( scan folder "series" ):

Code: Select all

<xml>
<import>
<extentions>wmv,avi,mkv,xvid,ogm,rm,rmvb</extentions>
<coverart>jpg,jpeg,bmp</coverart>
<folderitem>container</folderitem>
<metamasks>
<mask>\\(?&lt;title&gt;.*)\\(?&lt;name&gt;.*)\..?</mask>
</metamasks>
</import>

on my skin i can add or play videos files.
test this :Xmedia2-TEN2.zip

and show this :

i can't quite get it to work with your skin either...

I may have just figured this out.

I just realized that the screen behavior I want to mimic is my music screen (it goes artist>album>overlay_tracks)
Then I looked at the screen's category (music), and noticed there was no event - instead, there was an info screen "overlay:overlay_albumtracks".

I think that if I make an "overlay:overlay_TV" screen, and remove all events from the tv category, and assign the category info to the new overlay:overlay_tv screen it will work.

To play the file, I will simply add a 'play' button to the overlay_tv screen.

I will test this later.

my theory was correct!

Solved!
