Movie Template PEGGIE (with fanart)!

Probably I didn't explain myself very clearly, in these cases I think that an image is worth a thousand words.

This is peggie's meter with a rating of 9.02:

Basically, with the second decimals Peggie's meter is bugged, it puts a comma but no digit to its right. It's not a matter of how many digits you'd like to support, after the first decimal place it doesn't handle it, so either a rounding function is needed or you can also decide to drop all the decimals.

Hope I've been clear enough now, can't do better than this.

OK, I see what you mean now. Unfortunately, TViXiE does not provide rounding. I think this is because TViXiE is already retrieving results that are already rounded to 1 decimal place.

PEGGIE simply converts this x/10 score back to a percentage, and since one decimal place shown as a percentage has no decimal places (i.e. 1%), no decimal place should actually be required.

For your example of 9.02 to show on the meter, changes to the template would have to be made.

1 change variable RatingSCORE Layout Width to 64
2 change variable RatingSCORE Layout X to 1125

9.02 as %age

Actually Tvixie is not doing any rounding, at least not the MiPs I'm using...(mymovies.it). The values I showed you was from data automatically obtained via Tvixie, not edited by me, so it's possible that some movies have 2 decimal digits, that's why I reported the glitch on the meter.

So it's just a matter of making more room for the digits on the template...good to know...

Thanks a lot my friend.

[coolstream]

Good. We agree that that TViXiE does NOT do any rounding!

And now you know which variables to change if you need to. Enjoy!

Thanks, Dolu

I only wish I had thought about the batchtool earlier. Neccessity is the mother of invention

Hello coolstream! PEGGIE is great. I like it very much so thank you very much for your effort! But I would really appreciate a Peggie between V1 and V2. I Like the two title lines in V2 (for the original film title and the foreign film title), but I don't like the Icons for "time", "genre", "director" and "actors". This is IMHO better solved in V1 where it is in text form.

Is it possible to get a template from you which hast the two title lines of V2 but the text form of V1. This would be great! Or can you tell me how to modify your template to get this solution of a mixed V3? Thank you and once again: great stuff you've made!

Hi MrHelpman24 and welcome to TViXiE forum!

Thanks for the comments.

I did say at the end of the release notes that I would release a third version if there were a demand for it. This I will do by tomorrow.

This is great! Thanks a lot! There is plenty of time because I have to edit all my films (with your template) before. BTW: Your template is really wunderful in another point: you give the most space for film descriptions of all the templates here.
Have a good time and thanks again.

Thanks again, MrHelperman24. I agree that a large area for text is beneficial.

PEGGIE v3 has now been added!
