to all the themers - music playing view

[bessa]

hi joey!

please excuse my little mistake with the missing image-folder. steffen_2009 supposed right. so i tried again and everything looked fine. this is exactly what i've been looking for! thank you - thank you - thank you very much.

although: there's a tiny little "issue" in the progress/time bar. it's already filled although the track is still playing. is there a chance to adjust this?????

[JoeySmyth]

Unfortunatly the "Progress / Time Bar"  is a bit   "Tricky"   due to Firmware.

Let me Explain....

You can change it Horizontal and Vertical Positioning ( X and Y ) in the XML with no problems

However,  if you Change it's  Width and Height Size ( W and H ) in the XML ....

The Progress / Time Bar .. Vanishes !      It simply "Disappears"

So i can only assume it's Width and Height are Hardcoded in Firmware Preventing alteration.

The re-design of it's graphic appearance is the only work-around i know of.

(I also did this in my Aeonish Hub Theme for the Video Run Progress Bar... as the same phenomenon occurs)

[bessa]

never mind! i don't aim to watch the bar during playback. i can easily live with it

do you have your shoes already taken off??

Fine Mini-Theme :-)

[bessa]

yeah. after 3 weeks of enjoying it i still don't want to switch off my tv during music playback. I LOVE IT!!!

**bleep**, nice theme, but remains a weakness. The album-cover is on a large screen (HD) in bad quality. Because the variable "@@album_icon" reflects only the low quality. With "@@album_cover" the quality is much better. (You can test it. Arange "@@album_cover" AND "@@album_icon" next to each other). Unfortunately, with "@@album_cover" the cover is not updated during the next song. Only switch on the Home screen back can update the image. probably anchored in the firmware. Too bad. Otherwise very good implementation.

 this is no wise option to me (and obviously others). if you have implemented a high-res folder.jpg into your files there are no limitations in presentation. i admit i have some old and rare albums where good albumcovers are hard to find for, so their presentation aren't that pretty. but this "issue" will appear on any other modded music playback view with larger cover display.

@ joey:

never recognised before, but the cover template appears in the background when using youtube and flickr services(w/out covers of course). if i switch to default mochi it disappears - everything is fine then. returning back to your theme makes the template appear again... can you tell me why and how i can repair this??

it does not appear in other services like vimeo or deezer  (i do not use others)

@bessa

I will look into it ...

I think (and I'm going from memory here), that youtube, at least, shares some of the same images as for music.

So if you alter music, you also have to make alterations in the playback xml for it.

Can't remember anything about flickr, but it may also share.
