No1 says:
so check this out, I'm gonna write an extended imdb info script for the skin
MattAAron says:
speak nooblish, this is mattaaron ur talking to
MattAAron says:
No1 says:
I just finished the IMDbLib in python, I can just add a link to a script on the movie info page to run my script and display extra movie info
No1 says:
Thumbnail gellery
MattAAron says:
in the end, what will it do?
MattAAron says:
i have no idea how things work lol
No1 says:
k, your xbox conencted to the net?
MattAAron says:
i could if u want
MattAAron says:
ud have to give me 2 minutes
No1 says:
do it
MattAAron says:
kbrb
No1 says:
I'll send you the imdb library file and the example script, you just put them in the same folder and run the example script
No1 says:
it will say (running) for a couple of seconds, when it's done, hit white to see python log
MattAAron says:
do i need latest build?
No1 says:
no
No1 says:
it's python
No1 says:
shouldnt matter
MattAAron says:
july25 is what im using i think
No1 sends:
Transfer of "IMDbLib.rar" is complete.
No1 says:
out all the files into a folder, send to the scripts folder of xbmc
No1 says:
then go to the script named IMDbLib_USAGE.py and run it, then hit white
No1 says:
make sure to scroll down the python log window, the instruction/explanation is a few pages
No1 says:
quick read though
MattAAron says:
k give me a few minutes
No1 says:
sure
No1 says:
you can also go to an imdb link and browse the site
No1 says:
almost all of the info on the site I can can now use in a script, things like the mpaa rating, languages, the entire photogallery with all images for the current title.
MattAAron says:
i run it nothing happens
No1 says:
now, in a python script, I can mock the skin design of the movie info page and add a link on the left side titled "More Info.."
No1 says:
when clicked, it will run the script, and will display what looks like another info page for that movie, but with other info that xbmc doesnt supply
No1 says:
including the whole photo gallery
No1 says:
so now you can fully preview the movie before you play it
No1 says:
so this script will look just like it's part of the skin
MattAAron says:
im confused
MattAAron says:
still wont work, i see a info page
MattAAron says:
when i press white @ scripts page
No1 says:
did you read the info?
MattAAron says:
ya, 1. import imbdlib
MattAAron says:
2. from imdblib import imdb, imdbsearch imdb gallery
MattAAron says:
how do i "import"
MattAAron says:
i transferred all the files to \scripts
No1 says:
dude dont make anything, read down, scroll to the next page
No1 says:
it will show you what kind of extra imdb info is now availible
MattAAron says:
there's no scrolling or next page?
No1 says:
you're just reading the tutorial to see what is there, not to build a script
No1 says:
just hit a
MattAAron says:
ah
No1 says:
and if you set your screen res properly, then you would see the page at the bottom right of the window
No1 says:
MattAAron says:
so what does all this mean?
MattAAron says:
looks confusing
MattAAron says:
level3, with a buncha words and view options
No1 says:
I'm definately talking to MattAAron
No1 says:
MattAAron says:
yep!
MattAAron says:
MattAAron says:
i only know graphics
No1 says:
dude, picture the movie info page in xbmc
No1 says:
with the cover, movie details, that window
MattAAron says:
doesn't xbmc have this already?
No1 says:
shuddup and listen
MattAAron says:
"Movie Information" lolllll
MattAAron says:
k
No1 says:
now, on the left side of the movie info page there is a button for Refresh, and Thumbnails (i think), now picture adding a button below the Thumbnails button on the left called "More Info.."
No1 says:
now picture clicking this button
MattAAron says:
NO, its not THUMBNAILS its GET THUMB
MattAAron says:
st00pid
No1 says:
/me slaps the teeth right outta MattAAron's mouth
No1 says:
shuddup
MattAAron says:
k np
MattAAron says:
im just trying to teach u stuff u didnt know
No1 says:
now, after you click the More Info.. button, imagine the same movie info window that xbmc has, but instead of the info like tagline, polt summary, directors, etc. it will list MPAA Rating, Country, Language, Certification, etc. the extra info XBMC doesnt supply.
No1 says:
now, picture the bottom area of the Movie info page, and remove the Details that normally display there, and in it's place, put the thumbnails from the current title there, which I can get from imdb.com, so now the details area is a small thumbnail gallery.
No1 says:
now picture clicking on a thumbnail and it loading a full size image.
No1 says:
so now you have a full preview of the movie by getting to see a afull-size screenshot
No1 says:
now you still dont get this....
No1 says:
now if*
MattAAron says:
ahh, so basically it lets you download the movie off torrents?
No1 says:
you're a tard
MattAAron says:
im just messing, naw thats kewl, so u can take advantage of all the info that imdb has, instead of what xbmc has been limited to
No1 says:
No1 says:
exactly
No1 says:
including the thumbnail gallery
