pecinko Wrote:Hey, what happens when you turn off recently added?
Then the xbmc logo shows up. The thing is .. its nice to have Recently Added across the top as its much like the atv os ui. Its just my distro ships of course with an empty library so would be nice to show the xbmc logo if there are no covers to show across the top. Hope that makes sense. Not a deal breaker by any means. Just a thought.

OK, a skin is definitely missing a check. However, R.Added are turned off by default so problem rises if there is no content in library, but user activates this option.

To prevent it change

Code:
<control type="radiobutton" id="301" description="Recently Added">
                        [b]<enable>Library.HasContent(movies)</enable>[/b]
                        <include>SettingsButtonCommons</include>
                        <label>$LOCALIZE[31328]</label>
                        <onclick>Skin.Reset(Movies_Custom_Shortcuts)</onclick>
                        <onclick>Skin.Reset(Movies_Random_Items)</onclick>
                        <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(Movies_Recently_Added)</onclick>
                        <selected>Skin.HasSetting(Movies_Recently_Added)</selected>
                    </control>
<control type="radiobutton" id="302" description="Random Items">

in CustomSettings.xml.

F@ck that, here's an updated XML, just overwrite the older one on 720p skin dir :-)

Jeff, until I finish new release you might try to add your smart playlists to favorites and assign them afterwards to a home submenu items so you have something like:

MOVIES
- Movies
- RA
- Only HD
- Unwatched
- etc

What do you think?

F'ing A ... nice! Most Awesome! Thanks Again!

So, what's cooking?

-added support for (more) media flags (credits to crookas for graphics)
-redesigned fanart views - bigger covers at the bottom
-redesigned grid views - thumbs are easier to distinguish, removed zoom animations as I was never big fan of it. Using blue frame selector instead
- other views revamped to even cleaner looks
- added Addons section on Home
- added possibility for Custom section on Home.
- Random items will probably have to go - code is getting complicated and not much fun to maintain
- Side menu rethink with possibility to show video/music playlists as well (credits to ronie for the script)
- a lot of code rewrites to take advantage of pre-Eden changes
- still a few things in a queue :-)

Most excellent! Definitely waiting or this one. Looks like xbmc is getting closer to an eden beta! I'll be releasing a new linux image for the atv 1 as soon as the new quartz is released.

Btw, pecinko, is that check to show the xbmc logo across the top if there are no recently added covers showing going to be in the next release ? Also, any chance of having the recently added covers across the top be able to scroll horizontally to hold more than nine covers ? The second one is totally not a big deal but figured no harm in asking Wink

Thanks Again!

cant wait!

Sure fix will be there.

So you would like one more item for RA (you know about 10 item limit)? :-)

Well I just reduced it to 8 items becase it looks nicer IMHO, but it is not a problem to have 10 as long as you do not mind you have to scroll for 9th and 10th item. Personaly, though, I see that as info/decoration thing and I'm using a link to longish RA more frequently as I can see metadata, change view etc


- dynaflash - 2011-10-26 11:24

Agreed, 8 is fine. Don't mess with it.
