ERROR: PICTURE:
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2014 7:00 pm
In transparency, to get CDart or movie art the code is simple:
it works, but gets sluggish because of this if there isn't disc.png/cdart.png in the folder:
Wasn't sure if this is an issue with xbmc or not, so I figured I'd post here instead of skin dev. I used a manual string workaround for some images, but it's really hacky, breaks other stuff in the skin, and I think the above code is correct. The skin seems to be doing what it's supposed to, and after literally days of manipulation I keep coming back to these questions.

Code: Select all

[[[ OR ]]]
<texture fallback="disc-dvd.png" diffuse="disc_mask.png" background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Path,,disc.png]</texture>
it works, but gets sluggish because of this if there isn't disc.png/cdart.png in the folder:

- Is there a way to not throw the errors in the skin via conditional visibility (I couldn't figure it out)?
- Is this an issue with backward compatability?
- Is the code from up top proper?
- Is it a bug in xbmc4xbox?

No, I never figured it out and to be honest it's been almost a year and I really don't even remotely have a clear idea anymore of what I was thinking when I posted this [except] I had just spent several months porting transparency! for our platform. I was going to create a ticket but was hoping that BuZz might chime in here to shed a bit of light before wasting his time and then this thread just slipped through the cracks until you dug it up...perhaps now might be a good time to create that ticket if the issue hasn't been resolved.
if you have those same images at 40-50kb it should flow nicely...I keep getting surprised at how well this software will load and unload images "on the fly" tbh. Obviously for those of us not using pimped out boxes the lower the res/kb the better, but I keep trying to find the fine line there...
