If anyone else is using the Mythbuntu theme in MythTV 0.22, you may have noticed an error with the video display when browsing for video files (especially TV shows).

When the UI pops up the details of a video, the title of the show (not the episode name) is at the top of the pop up box. This is redundant because you can still see the title of the show in the background layer. Plus, the episode title is not displayed anywhere on the pop up.

My solution was to replace the show title with the episode title. As I said before, I don't think this is an issue because you can still see the show title in the background layer. If you're viewing a movie that doesn't have a subtitle defined, the top of the pop up will have no text. However, again, the movie title will still be visible in the background layer.

Here is how you change it:
Open this file:
Code:
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/video-ui.xml

Find the section labeled
Code:
<window name="itemdetailpopup">


Then, change the following line from
Code:
<textarea name="title" from="basetextarea">

to
Code:
<textarea name="subtitle" from="basetextarea">


That's it!

Alternatively, you can download my video-ui.xml and replace yours with it: http://www.transmatrix.net/video-ui.xml
