Is BaseButtonListUiTask set up to invoke GetImageCallback when using slick? It doesn't seem to be working at first glance since the callbacks normally only happen for the icon and filmstrip views.

I can't seem to display the InfoSummary and poster with Slick just by relying on subclassing.

Sub, anyone, do you know why this would be? I've avoided learning anything about skins up until now and the solution may be clear to someone willing to take a quick look.

This is done by the skin helper, and isnt tied to the list view at all. It should work fine.

Its not clear what you're trying to do, and what isnt working. You'd have to give me more detail to go on.

Let's start with the named variables @title, @genre, etc. If I set those, just like I would have for blue, they don't show up under the info summary section. Same problem with the poster whether I use an image or a callback.

Sorry, you're not giving me enough information. I dont understand the question.

Maybe a snippet of code will help? I would expect the following to cause the skin to display metadata but it doesn't:

Hashtable properties = new Hashtable();
properties.Add("@title", "Title");
properties.Add("@duration", "Duration");
properties.Add("@genre", "Genre");
properties.Add("@description", "Description");
uiList.setItemList(new ArrayList() { new UiList.Item() { properties = properties } });

The metadata displayed in the slick skin is not a feature of UiList. It is a feature of the Video/Music/Photo Library screens, and independent of the UiList. These screens are based on BaseButtonListUiTask, but override the GetRenderList() function to add the InfoSummary etc.

Ahh, thanks. I might leave slick compatibility to someone more enterprising then.

Sub, are there any plans to overload IPluginHelper.PlayVideoFile() so it accepts a playback time? I don't strictly need this function, just some way to start playback from the beginning and without a resume prompt if the file is only a few seconds in. I often open files to make sure they're ok and it doesn't make sense to resume on the next playback.

And should I remind you about my other feature request or do you maintain a todo list of sorts?

Thanks.
