Gallery background image/sheet?

[djkilla]

Is it possible to add a background image/sheet for each movie in gallery view?

Example:

So each movie in gallery view would have it’s own background. When you select the movie, then you would get the movie sheet. I’ve already got the movie sheets but I’m not sure if it’s possible to have a background image/sheet for each movie in gallery view.

well, I’m trying to understand why you want to do

a moviesheet is a background specific to the movie selected, can be only a picture or most often would contain info about the movie as well

only thing I can figure you want is

a moviesheet - picture only

and at the same time

a moviesheet - picture and movie info

I think JoeySmyth previewed something like this

moviesheet displayed while browsing

press info button for movie and get a different image with info display

or maybe, I don’t understand what you want to do??

Lets take a look at the Surreal theme gallery view. It has the same background as you switch from movie to movie.

Now lets take a look at the Kudo’s theme gallery view. It has the same background as you switch from movie to movie.

I want to be able set a background (no info just the pic) for each movie in gallery view like this:

After I select the movie, then I’ll get the actual movie sheet with all the info as a background which I already know how to do like this:

what’s up with those images, I’ve been waiting, but still can’t see them

anyways

here’s what’s possible

movie xml’s

can only handle 1 sheet, or it will start a slideshow, not what you want

linksheets can handle 1 sheet per unique name

ie. folder titled Batman can have a sheet titled Batman

inside the folder you can have Batman.mkv with a different sheet titled Batman.mkv

@KAD79

The moderators of the forum have to approve the pics before they show up. It’s so nothing offensive to others show up.

I still don’t know if what I’m trying to do is possible. I may have to add another folder to do this.

For example:

-Genre folder

—Movie folder - background image/sheet for gallery view (no info)

-----Another movie folder - contains movie sheet (with info)

If you use an External image host like Photobucket, Imageshack etc.

The image’s appear instantly … (and don’t go through the “Approval Process”)

*************

Movie folder - use linksheets

Another movie folder - use linksheets, only linksheets can display folder sheets

movie inside the folder - use linksheets or use xml to display sheets, you choose
