In order to use custom graphics on PlayOn!HD, you have to remember about following rules:
1) Only 16-bit RGB565 bitmaps are supported, so you have to convert them using Gimp, Photoshop or simple utility called PlayRGB (22 kB)
Just drag & drop bitmap to edit field (or use button to open it). Bitmap will be automatically converted and saved with the same filename, but with .565 extension instead.
2) Transparent background can be made by using special color:
- SDK v7.0.6: Red = 8, Green = 8, Blue = 16
- SDK v7.3.4: Red = 248, Green = 0, Blue = 248
3) In selected areas: if you don't want white color to be treated as transparent, change it to very similar (like Red = 248, Green = 248 and Blue = 248)
4) Most of the bitmaps can be found in /usr/local/bin/Resource/bmp
Screensaver image
File named IMAGE_SCREENSAVER_LOGO.bmp is the image used by screensaver. Original size is 350 x 50 pixels, but I've made several succesful tries with larger graphics, without any problem. Furthermore, image size is automatically retrieved by PlayOn and it's floating within the TV screen boundaries (it's not being cut-off by going out of TV width/length), so it looks really nice. It means that the only thing you have to care about is to save it as RGB565.
Buttons
I like menu design, but buttons which are being used while playing movie are awful. That's why I've made these packs. Instead of simple green images (SDK v7.0.6) or even more annoying white/red (SDK v7.3.4), you can enjoy stylish buttons, which have been available by
Mysitemyway Design Team and several other media players. If you want to use them on any SDK v7.3.4 firmware, telnet to your POHD and execute one of the following commands.
