Mythvideo gallery view

Howdy,

A question(s) that I have meant to ask for ages :

I use mythtvideo galley mode (blootube). At the moment the ".." (up one
level) is counted as a video in the count at top of screen. Is this
supposed to be the case?
Also, the default image is a ? mark and green "return" arrow in bottom
right. Should I bother coming up with a new graphic or is there one
already and the theme is just buggered?

Thanks,

Whether it's supposed to be the case or not, it is definitely a
"known." :) Probably shouldn't be, though.

The "?" is actually an image, it's there because the State->buttonitem
image uses it. Works great for a video with no image, not so well for
the upfolder state. I worked around this by replacing the default
buttonimage with a nice linear gradient. Attractive, and no ugly ?.

So, the long and short of it is you can remove that image by changing
the default filename for buttonimage to a null, or any other image you
like. Better to leave it *some* image, though, so that there is a
placeholder when there's no cover art.

Looking good.

"known" ? :-) I suppose no ticket then?

I am curious as to why the .. does not use the folder.(jpg|gig|png) image
like a regular dir? This would work fine as all my dirs have images.

Does the default image have that green arrow ? I would have though that
was only for backup type button?

Meeds your patches to be submitted :-). I don't wanna upgrade DB unless

None that I know of-- I've spoken to Anduin about it before but was
never motivated enough to open a ticket. It's very likely a simple
fix, I'd guess.

This is probably a limitation of the "folder" hunt code. I've
identified a few other weaknesses in it that I'd like to see fixed
too, but most of them involve getting MythVideo/SG directory
preferences working.

The green arrow should be from the "upfolder" state in the buttonlist.
(working from memory)

From your lips to God's mouth. ;) Hopefully in the drive towards .22
in the near future the MythVideo stuff will make it in. I'm led to
believe it will.

Would you want it to display the folder.png from the current folder or from the one above?

IE. If I'm in /video/MyNameIsEarl/Season3 should it show

/video/MyNameIsEarl/folder.jpg or /video/MyNameIsEarl/Season3/folder.jpg ?

On one hand I think it should show the one above but it would be
nice to see the current folders icon as well somewhere even if it's just
an element a themer can choose to display or not.

The one above I guess but I think an up arrow would be fine. I just tried
deleting all refs to preview.png (the ? image) from my themes and it is
still there. I guess the line

./libs/libmythui/themeinfo.cpp: m_previewpath =
m_theme->absoluteFilePath() + "/preview.jpg";

might be responsible.. Wonder why we have a hard coded value in the code.
I guess preview.jpg is a special case.

Scratch that. It is just a preview image of theme for settings screen..
