I have most of my channel finished and ready to go. Only issue that i have is I can't find a way to remove or change the image(?) used as a frame for the image in the upper left of the springboard. I changed the frame around the grid focus easily in the style.xml but can't figure out the springboard. Any help with this would be great.
Hi Mike,
Could you provide some details on changing the frame around grid focus. I'm guessing it's the GridScreenFocusBorder image, but what dimensions etc
all i did was take the original grid in the sdk and edit it photoshop to look the way i wanted (keeping the blank center space the same as the original dimensions) and then renamed it grid_focus_border_hd.png because that is what openrokn is calling for that image.
In the style xml you'll find
<theme name="GridScreenBorderOffsetSD" value="(-20,-20)"/>
<theme name="GridScreenBorderOffsetHD" value="(-25,-25)"/>
you can adjust the x.y coordinates there..
Not sure I can help. Are you using the grid layout? Your image is not showing there before you go to springboard?
Oh I reread post, you mean the frame around the image. I was wondering how to change that myself. If I find out I'll post it here.
Thanks. Yeah I have no problem displaying images. Just trying to get rid of the frame because no matter what I do I can't get my images to display in the frame properly. My channel uses both grid view and poster so I have different sized images (some portrait some landscape). Thanks for trying to help though.
I am working on trying to move the frame on the grid that focuses on a highlighted item when open grid. I have not found where to change it so I can move it up one row. Have not had time yet today to research more on your question. Hope you find your answer in case I dont come across it.
you want your frame focus to be on the top row instead of the second row?
Go to row 1442 in the file openrokn.brs
set grid.SetFocusedListItem to:(0,0)
Let me know if that was what you were looking for
Thank you. I have been looking for setfocus. Thanks a bunch.
no problem... i think the first number is the row and the second is the postition in that row... both start with 0's instead of 1's... so if you want it to start in the top and more centered you might want to put: (0,2) instead... I used (0,0) because i have a few short rows and I haven't found out how to align the rows to the left yet
OKay. I'm looking for the info you were asking about on that frame for image on springboard but I have not found anything yet except below. But still checking around.
The dimensions expected for the image are also dependent on the ContentType meta data value being specified:
•Orientation for artwork is based on ContentType setting and may be portrait or landscape.
that just applies to if it is a movie or episode or audio or whatever. Openrokn is set to episode by default.
I found something that said that you can't edit the frame around the image unless you disable the progress bar that displays in it first, which i did... but still no luck on editing the thing. Have been working on this for about a week with no luck. Wish there was more support on this thing somewhere.
It does get confusing and time consuming. Wish I knew the fix. I just checked my image and I can see that it has some white space above and below the pic inside that square frame but the other images in the grid from the main package have the same. Not sure if that is allowed or not when submitted for approval.
Overall this is some very helpful code. Was able to leave the category for "about" type of info and then the grid layout. I've been wanting to try a grid and was glad to come across this file recently.
Not sure yet if the adrise part is working. Thinking of doing preroll but not sure which company to go with yet.
Hope you can find your answers. I'll post back if I hear of anything to help.
i figured out how to remove the border. First you have to remove the progress indicator then you have to change the content type from Audio (openrokn's default) to something like episode.
Only problem i have now is that my first screen is all flat-portrait grid images. Some of them go directly to the springboard (which gives me a portrait size image for the poster art. But some of the videos that you can choose on my first screen take you to poster screen with landscape images. And when you choose one of those the image on the springboard is inside a portrait frame with space on the top and bottom. Any ideas how to have the springboard image border fit no matter what kind (portrait or landscape) of image is being used?
