Slick skin Video Library jpg sticking

[motteroy]

I like the new skin, and I don't want to sound ungrateful, but ...

in Video Library, the thumbnail sticks. The first video that has a thumbnail has the piccie displayed correctly, but then as I move down the list, the thumbnail stays put, until I get to the next entry with no thumbnail, at which point the old picture disappears. The next movie with a jpg displays correctly, but this new thumbnail then hangs about until I get to the next movie with no thumbnail.

Is anyone else out there seeing this, or is it just me?

Any suggestions on how I can fix it?

PS. Many thanks to JavaWiz for his neat little WizMetadataGrabber utility

There was a patch posted for this. A forum search should turn it up.

Yep. That did it. Thanks for the quick response, and my apologies for not finding the patch with my original searches.

By the by ... I've noticed that an & in the <LocalTitle> field upsets the display (nothing gets displayed for that video), and a little tweaking of the skin.xml file in C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin2\Slick\Video Library overcomes some of the minor cosmetic text collisions I was getting on my humble monitor (1280 x 1024)

For me, the following works well:
<DrawText text="@title" loc="18,6" size="82,14" textStyle="InfoTitle" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="Runtime" loc="14,20" size="60,5" textStyle="InfoHeading" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="@duration" loc="38,20" size="60,5" textStyle="Info" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="Genre" loc="14,25" size="60,10" textStyle="InfoHeading" align="Left"/>
<DrawText text="@genre" loc="38,25" size="60,20" textStyle="Info" align="Left"/>

By shifting the title up a little, and increasing the depth, it overcame the problem where the 2nd line of a long title was cut in 2 horizontally. I also chopped the width of the @genre display, to avoid some truncation on the rhs.

The & character is special in xml files, and needs to be escaped otherwise you'll create an invalid xml file that the app will refuse to load. & needs to be replaced with &amp;
