Plugin: Diamond Theme

[nyplayer]

Great job on this UI guys... I found out that putting the fanart files locally and syncing them is the way to go.

Just do you know diamond does already cache them locally on each client.

I rebuilt my server this weekend and now I can't seem to adjust the size of the font on the main menu and the opacity of the background on the recordings menu. I'm now using Win7 64 now so my guess is that I'm modifying the wrong theme.properties file. Any help?

I use 6 different views in my recordings listing. Unfortunately, when I enable the latest version of Diamond, my 5th and 6th views get overwritten with a "Playon" view another view I can't remember. Is there a way to deal with this? I didn't see anything in the options.

Should be the same place as before,

C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV7\Themes\Diamond

( I have WIn7 64bit as well)

In the theme.properties file look for,

NumberIntAlpha/gAlphaCenterBGWithBorder=255

NumberInteger/gFontSizeMainMenu1=36
NumberInteger/gFontSizeMainMenu2=15
NumberInteger/gFontSizeMainMenu3=15

Hi I'm new to SageTV. Ijust got an HD300 and having been trying new plugins etc...I'm not at all familiar with the lingo...yet!

I installed this interface through the UI Mod drop down menu. It appears to have installed correctly and looks great. The only Issue I'm having is that my DVD covers and fanart are not being shown. However the movies plays when selected...I'm sure this is simple but is there something else I have to do?

Currently my movie database is managed by My Movies. Each movie resides in in its own folder and has the following files:
fanart.jpg
mymovies-back.jpg
mymovies-front.jpg

Any help appreciated.

Make mymovies write a folder.jpg and ours will pick that up automatically. Fanart support (backdrops) will be in the next build.

Not sure if it's a bug or not but when I turn off the Diamond Wall and Diamond Flow view using the diamond winter red theme, when I use my remote to select "Videos" , when it shows the list of "Titles - DVD/bd , etc" , I can not select anything in the list unless I use a mouse to turn make the red visible.

My guess is that you have the red box set to show up in the Diamond Wall or Diamond Flow selections and when I turned them both off, the red selection cursor is no longer visible or being hidden.

This only shows up when I close and reopen the theme in question. I have not seen if this is a problem with the other themes in the Diamond UI.

Looks like someone reported it at http://code.google.com/p/jorton/issues/detail?id=18 so sorry for wasting your time.

Maybe I missed something. The screens from the first page have fanart art displayed and reviewing this thread seems to indicate that others users do as well. Do you mean the fanart generated by "my movies" will be supported in the next build?

If yes to the above, are people using a different source of fanart that allows it currently to get used?

BTW I notice an option in the settings to use fanart, which I have enabled.

Cheers

yes it is supported using BMT method. If you are already using mymovies I would wait for that build.

Wanted to say thanks to EvilPenguin and welcome him to the diamond team. We have worked a bit together in the past and he offered to help fix up some bugs as well as add some new features. After the first part of the year there should be some good stuff for diamond users. Thanks again EP!!!!

The. Use mymovies this will never fully replace it's movie capabilities but we can see about adding a simple list view.

[PiX64]

yeah i do still use MyMovies cause its so awesome!!!

props to the guy that created it..he is pretty amazing ;-)

seriously though I think a simple list view wich displays a list, background fanart, and metadata would be an extremely nice addition to diamond theme

Are you supposed to load the STVI for Diamond or is that done automatically? When I go into Import UI Modification file (.STVi File) there is a listing for DiamondB2.00.stvi. I didn't import this but it appears that everything is working ok.
