ML3 Nightly testing

[Jaggy]

I use drop shadow & outlined text right throughout my B-R-xHV skins

for drop shadow:

Code:

<TextStyle name="PositionInfoMutedText" color="#989898" dropShadow="#444450" size="14" style="regular"/>

for outlined text:

Code:

<DrawTextWithOutline text="@folderName" loc="8,1" size="90,98" wrap="false" outlineWidth="3" borderColor="Black" textStyle="ListViewSelectedFolders" align="Left" valign="Center"/>

I have observed several times that on MVP that the sound stops, but the counter underneath the album art of the playlist view continues.
Logs attached.

Well I don't have a clue how to do that.

As you can see, we are willing to help.

I'll review the blue xml's this week and make them match what I did for CS and see how they work out.

Thanks everyone! I think I might actually understand this. Fatman_do, anything you want to do to help with the blue skin is fine with me, respecting the blue look and feel of course.

Logs attached.

Pieter I noticed a .ogg file in your list. I can't tell by the logs, but if you have GBPVR configured to NOT transcode OGG without the appropriate command line option to mvpmc ( --em-flac ) that would explain the silence.

Martin, to do a background image as either full screen, or list background, I need a screen element that is drawn underneath everything else.

An example...

Code:

<Placement name="ListImage"      loc="36.0,11"   size="61,69.5"/>

..
..
    <CompositeImage name="ListImage" size="61,69.5">
      <DrawImage filename="@FanArt" loc="0,0" size="100.0,100.0"/>
    </CompositeImage>

Bad "photoshop" mockup...granted list transparency and text adjustments notwithstanding.

We can resize it to be full screen if need be.

Here is my refresh of the blue skin..[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
If anyone wishes to try this out, just make a backup of the original MusicLibrary3 skin folder first.

I like what you guys have done with ML3 and it seems to be working very well for me on my PH. But playing around with it on my computer, I can only play the files using my remote. Using the keyboard doesn't seem to work as I can play files, only move from one to the other. Is there something I'm missing? The multi-media keys on the keyboard work but ordinarily, shouldn't scrolling to the song you want to play then hitting 'enter' allow the file to play?

Ya gotta use the hotkeys.. so for the Blue button = CTRL-B , CTRL-Y cues the mp3 as a yellow button, etc

[pcostanza]

Ah, thanks very much. I bet that was posted somewhere and I passed right over it.

I am confused. I just tested a number of ogg's. They played fine in my existing configuration.
If I change the MVP startup parameters to:
mvpmc --em-flac --startup emulate --emulate ? &
I have no sound, and the counter continues while focus of the playlist is not moving.
The logs are difficult to interpret. I do remember that the last album art was from a song by Cecilia Bartoli, but if I insert that in a playlist the list plays just fine. In earlier occurences I did also test the next song in the list. Also there no problems.
Related to the following questions:
1) I understand that mvpmc can play .flac natively. Is that also possible now through GBPVR and ML3? If so what settings are needed?
2) You state that in order to play ogg I have to set --em-flac. Does this switch istruct to handle both flac and ogg to be decoded on the MVP?

I guess I have some conflicting settings for my MVP (settings attached).
