Hi, I have been long waiting for some alternative to play soundtracks when browsing movies and tvshows without TvTunes addon. I already had a theme.mp3 file in every movie/tvshow folder, so it was just a matter of playing them while browsing. I have devised a way without even using any addon, it consists on adding two little xml.files to your xml's skin folder, for instance:
customStartSoundtrack.xml
...and...
customStopSoundtrack.xml
I'm not an skinning expert, so I imagine someone else will be able to improve the code and let us know; this is only a humble beginning that at least works in every skin and can be tested without much hassle...
customStartSoundtrack.xml
<window type="dialog" id="1355">
<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
<onload>PlayMedia($INFO[ListItem.Path,,theme.mp3])</onload>
<visible>System.IdleTime(3) + [Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(tvshows)] + !ListItem.IsCollection</visible>
<visible>Window.IsActive(videos)</visible>
<controls>
</controls>
</window>
...and...
customStopSoundtrack.xml
<window type="dialog" id="1255">
<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
<onload condition="String.Contains(Player.Filenameandpath,theme.mp3)">PlayerControl(Stop)</onload>
<visible>[System.IdleTime(1) | Container.OnNext | Container.OnPrevious | !Window.IsActive(videos)]</visible>
<controls></controls>
</window>
