I have been working with fadelabel (kodi.wiki/view/Fade_label_control), label (kodi.wiki/view/Label_control), and textbox (kodi.wiki/view/Text_Box) scrolling and auto-scrolling specifically as it relates to Music Visualization.
Based on my understanding from reading the wiki and playing with the a couple of different skins - each of the three control types has their own set of parameters and behaviors.
fadelabel - seems to be infinite in the time it scrolls, but its not fluid in that the scrolling isn't continuous - it finishes the line, clears, then restarts.
label - has smooth fluid continuous scrolling, however it stops scrolling after about one minute and I can't find any parameter to change that.
textbox - has a repeat, time, and delay parameters available, but it scrolls vertically top to bottom and not horizontally left to right like the text scrolls in the other two label controls above.
As usual I just can't be happy with with I got, I have to be after something different.
I'm looking for a infinite continuous smooth scrolling left to right scroll that never stops scrolling.
The closest I got was by using fadelabel with <scrollout> and <resetonlabelchange> set to false. Pretty close and I can live with it.
So for the questions:
1) Is there is setting to set the label control to infinite scrolling.
2) Is there a setting to set the textbox control to scroll left to right instead of top to bottom?
Thanks in advance.
