Supress Date display in NPVR skin

[Northpole]

Is there any way to suppress the date and time display in NPVR? The reason I ask is because I would like to not display it when viewing pictures in the slid show mode.

Thanks.

Also, is it possible to have the @previewImage function pickup a default picture in the recordings screen (like in the video screen)

No, you cant currently. I'll have a think about if there is a way to add a skin option for this without to much change.

Also, is it possible to have the @previewImage function pickup a default picture in the recordings screen (like in the video screen)

What do you mean exactly?

Sub,

In the Recordings.xml, I would like to be able to do either one of the following:

If a preview image exists, use it as normal. If no preview is available, then look in the recordings subdirectory for a default.jpg (just like it does for videos and music)

<Element name="ListSelectionMetaData" location="56,11" size="43,78.9" alpha="255" alphaFade="true">
<RoundedRect location="0,0" size="98,99.8" fillColor="Cover" borderColor="CoverEdge" radius="0.2" borderWidth="1px"/>
<Image source="@previewImage" location="26,2" size="46,38" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
<Text text="@name" location="3,40" size="92,10" font="WhiteSmall" align="Center" valign="Center" wrap="true"/>
<Text text="@subtitle" visible="@isItem" location="3,50" size="92,10" font="YellowSmall" align="Center" valign="Center" wrap="true"/>
<Text text="@description" visible="@isItem" location="3,60" size="92,34" font="WhiteMini" align="left" wrap="true"/>
<Text text="@failureReason" visible="@isItem" location="3,95" size="92,4" font="RedMiniItalic" align="Center"/>
</Element>


If that's not an option, then how about trying to determine if a preview image exists like below using the !@hasPreviewImage.

<Element name="ListSelectionMetaData" location="56,11" size="43,78.9" alpha="255" alphaFade="true">
<RoundedRect location="0,0" size="98,99.8" fillColor="Cover" borderColor="CoverEdge" radius="0.2" borderWidth="1px"/>
<Image source="..\_common\default.jpg" visible="!@hasPreviewImage" location="37.5,11.5" size="23,23" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
<Image source="@previewImage" visible="@hasPreviewImage" location="26,2" size="46,38" fixedAspectRatio="true" />
<Text text="@name" location="3,40" size="92,10" font="WhiteSmall" align="Center" valign="Center" wrap="true"/>
<Text text="@subtitle" visible="@isItem" location="3,50" size="92,10" font="YellowSmall" align="Center" valign="Center" wrap="true"/>
<Text text="@description" visible="@isItem" location="3,60" size="92,34" font="WhiteMini" align="left" wrap="true"/>
<Text text="@failureReason" visible="@isItem" location="3,95" size="92,4" font="RedMiniItalic" align="Center"/>
</Element>

Sub,

It actually already does this, but the name is folder.jpg not default.jpg.

It might also be useful to be able to supress the now playing item.

Thanks.

Hmmm, Just tried that and it doesn't seem to work. I'm still using v1.5.28, perhap that's new in v1.5.31.

Thanks.

I cant remember if anything on that front between 1.5.38 - 1.5.31. Maybe. It definitely loads up folder.jpg here though.

Mine also when viewing in the Recordings screen doesn't display folder.jpg's that are in the recording sub directory along with the actual recording? When viewing in Videos they show though?
Like Northpole I would quite like to be able to display a default (or whatever name) image if there is no image available in Meda\show for the Recordings view

[sub]

Can you see if this makes the folder.jpg appear for you?

[Jaggy]

Nope no difference, I have a folder,jpg in E:\_Recordings\Extreme Rescue that shows in Videos but there is no mention of it trying to find it in Recordings in the logs (attached).

Although from my point of view I don't really see that displaying a folder.jpg from the automatically created sub directory is of a great deal of use anyway even though NPVR copies one there automatically if there is one in Media\shows because if there is one in Media\shows it will display it anyway??
