The video skin options menu was added with build 6525


Information /documentation on use? I can't find anything in the skin wiki.
 
I found an aurora shader for the audio only layout. Looks really nice.
 
for info :
the additional menu entry is element "<optionsmenu>" in the videoskin
can define exactly the same as the standard element "<menu>"

Well what can I say, thanks to George (PhantomDeejay) that's me up and running. Must have been about a hundred modifications as the automix list was difficult to get right but it's complete now.

Features:

Audio only mode with large album art, title and any shader can be chosen for the background. This mode automatically loads when a non-video file is played.



Full screen video mode (default) with Rune's titler appearing after 40 seconds then staying for 30 seconds. If a message is set on the screen it disappears for the titler then comes back again.



Automix mode. This has two separate options. The normal mode where it will display the next 7 songs in the automix list or the "hack" mode where it will display the track in the standby deck then the next 6 in the automix window. A message can also be set from the video window and displayed over the EQ



There's also a right click video skin options menu to change settings. Set or clear message, hack or normal automix mode, scroll text or change EQ colour.



This just goes to show the absolute power of VDJ scripting. I'm amazed to be honest, and thanks to George again!

I don't see the less than video skin options where to enable text scrolling. Any suggestions?
 
Depends on the video skin, it's not a system wide thing.

I am using the original live video skin and I would like the track title text to scroll because it is often too long and gets cut off. Thanks
 
Well if the option isn't there then it's not part of the skin, and will need to be wrote in.

Well, it's no problem for me to change it but I don't know what the correct verb is to make the text scroll, can you help me? Thanks
