Request Theme music added to film file #259

Open louout opened 11 years ago

Hi

Just a few ideas.

Would it be possible to add the theme music to the movie file in your library. So it plays while viewing the synopsis. It would be great to blast out Star Wars or 2001 over a home cinema.

Adding personal ratings to your movies. Like a star rating which would show on the movie overlay.

One issue I have found. cover art doesn't show in watch later list.

Really cool idea. Don't know if something like this would be possible though, but worthwhile looking into it...

I think this should be possible with the binary "aplay" EG aplay /opt/boxee/skin/boxee/sounds/select.wav

I dont know if it can play any other files apart from wav, i have not tested this

ok ive been working on this all day/night.

i now have an index system in which it looks for the theme files.

i have also found a way to play the theme.

the issue i'm having is getting it to play when the item is selected( the same time as the fan art is shown)

ive succesfully got the location of the mp3 to be displayed on the screen. its just getting it to play.

any thoughts.
