Back dvd cover art

[gargoyle67]

Hi,

Is there a plugin or way for xlobby to display the back of cover of dvd art ?

I may be wrong, but you should be able to add the tag for the second photo into the xml code directly and then it will display both.

yep, you can display more than one piture by item.you have to add the pitcures links in your database but you can't use the scan fonction for that.
to do it, use the databae editor : go to the set up (F2) section "databases" select your movie database then press edit.

Sound's like too much work to add them by hand, I'll have to wait for someone to do a plugin for this option.

you could do a variable set because the movie id number is the same as the number for the cover and back art + f or b..

so hit f2 create an event category>variable set

database = either movies or new database you created

variable = backart or coverart or whatever you need

value = C:\Program Files\DVD Profiler\IMAGES\%movies>id%b.jpg

for "C:\Program Files\DVD Profiler\IMAGES\" put your own path to your images folder for the backart.

i dont know how you can get it to work there is a few ways just mess around with it and find what you like.. or those guys seem to theink you can add the backart link to the same line as the coverart or somthing i couldnt figure it out but if thats the case just change the value to include

C:\Program Files\DVD Profiler\IMAGES\%movies>id%f.jpg
and
C:\Program Files\DVD Profiler\IMAGES\%movies>id%b.jpg

you could add this variable set to your goto movieviewer or on a page load event, if you use a seperate database you will need to set up a filter so you could create another variable event to put the %movies>display% in the category and filter the new database by %movies>display%. but again i dont know exactly what you are needing, but i just wanted to let you know you dont have to do it manually.

this all assumes you use dvd profiler

hope this helps you in someway.

A Lazy newb huh??? Look, were not here just to make plugins for u... u should be well able to do this by hand... plugins are for useful stuff, like for ensuring that u wont loose those hand added stuff next time u update your database. If u r too lazy to add by hand... do plugin yourself!!!!

Who the heck are you Pervert?? Youre a newb imho too. Why do you need to come on board condeming people? If you dont have something nice to say, shut up! What have you contributed to this forum except your lonely fantasies of naked women, and a better-than-thou attitute. No wonder your single. Post like yours tend to bother me a bit. If you cant help, dont post.

I agree with you gargoyle, if there is no plugin or easy way to do some things, I re-evaluate if I really need, or care about the feature. If its hard or time consuming, I say "why bother", but if there was an easy way then sure "how do I implement it?".

wow calm down, if I had the skill and talent to do a plugin I would, I wasn't ordering someone to make a plugin.If someone makes one with this option cool if not I'll go without, simple as that. Don't know why there's any need to flame, we are all trying to achieve the same goal, getting the best home entertainment system, And thanks Colby for pointing out asshole posters.

That went way over my tolerance limit. We r gonna have cool relations now on.

If u must know, ive been working on plugin whole day, one which is no use of myself, but which i decided anyway to finish for rest of this fine community.

Ur wife/gf will leave u someday too... guess wholl be making idiotic personal insults then.

gargoyle67, why not have a go at making a plugin?

yiu can download everything needed from microsofts website, and its not that normally that hard to code...

you certainly dont need to be a professional coder to knock up a plugin

i have no idea how oldyou are but if you ever messed around with a comadore 64 or a spectrum i am sure you could get by :~)

10 print"hello"
20 goto10
