Is this just a screenshot of the cirrus thread ? I need a screenshot of your scraped movie to reproduce it.

Thanx

N.O.W.A.L.L Wrote:I really look forward to your pop-up!

For the random thing... well, if it could choose among a genre ("hey, today I want to watch an unwatched comedy", let's choose randomly") it could be fun, but I'm not sure I will use very often.
Anyway too much is better than not enough. What I like in CE2 is that it has tons of options and possibilities so your pop-up will be a great thing!


will there be also a function of "resume from XX:XX" if a movie has been stopped?

The "resume" function is, as far as I know, standard in XBMC. What this means is that, if the random film is one that you have started watching, the "Resume from..." notification will be shown.

As for the other suggestions, no, the script doesn't do this currently. It's currently a very very basic script.

I can have a look to see if there's any way of filtering by genre/watched etc. i.e. I think Cinema Experience can restrict trailers to unwatched ones.

(For the technical people, the script works by submitting a JSON RPC request to get the list of movies in the library and then picks one at random. As far as I know, the genre/watched information is not available via JSON at this moment in time.)

EDIT:
Ah, do you mean if you select a random movie and stop it, can you resume the random movie? Yes... but you'd have to select the movie name from your library. The script won't track whether you got to the end of the movie or not (because how could the script know whether you've stopped a movie and will come back to it, or because you want to watch something else?)

Thanks for the response about the TV Show view...I'll look forward to switching back to your skin once you update it Smile

Butcha,

I've not looked at this so I could be way off the mark.

But if the screenshot is saying that multiple flags don't show in Cirrus Original (i.e. it's just the AVC flag) then could the issue just be visibility conditions in the skin?

Or are you saying, that you've added code for AVC1 but that xbmc scrapes the data incorrectly so both flags are shown?

I've already checked the original cirrus code, there is no vc-1 substring, so i assume vc-1 was implemented in cirrus extended v1 time ago.
Yes it seems that's a scraper issue a not a skin related bug.
I never seen a movie with 2 different codecs ... i'm just going to remove the vc-1 substring in IncludesCodecFlagging.xml ...

cheers mate ...

Fantastic theme - the best out there!

One question I have is:-

I use the Coverflow view for movies, for some reason some movies with 'The' in the title seem to ignore the fact that 'The' is in the title. For example The Mummy movies, these films appear under 'M' instead of 'T'

Is there anyway to change this??

Thanks in advance

That is a xbmc setting. If its doing that in CEV2 then it should do it in all skins. I want to say its under library or appearance settings.

Yes, that's right.

See "Ignore articles when sorting": http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Appearance_Settings#File_Lists

You can also tell XBMC to ignore more items e.g. "a", "an" etc by editing advancedsettings.xml: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Advancedsettings.xml#.3Csorttokens.3E

That's done the trick

Many Thanks for the info Laugh

@butcha
The current screen shot looks fantastic! The improvements to the now playing are also very nice indeed. I am anticipating this release hugely. The look and feel are very impressive and will cater for everyone. This place has been ablaze with a new commenters today and hopefully this will continue as this skin deserves a lot more recognition that it gets. It's utterly incredible. So fast, light and busting at the seems with features, and yet so powerful and configurable to suit virtually any ones needs. I just adore it Nod

@el_p
The new options for the menu sound perfect! Absolutely perfect! The other Half and I sometimes don't know what we feel like watching Confused and can't decide... and this option will be used almost nightly for us.

For later improvements, I do agree with Nowall that genre picking and restircted to unwatched movies also are a great option, but for the time being this is a perfect addon for me and anything over and above that is a huge bonus! Cheers for creating that dude!

Looking forward to the return of the F1 tomorrow and the reslease of 2.0.5 this weekend.

Cheers guys, also if you need any testing butch you know where I am Big Grin

There actually already appears to be a randomitems script which is way more sophisticated than mine. I'll see if this can be made to work for our needs!

Looking at this: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=79378 - think it does what you want (e.g. can filter unwatched movies) - might need some work to add genres.

how do you add log off menu to home screen and also add a toggle to hide log off button. i have 2nd profile for my kids, and i just want to have movies, play disc and log off button
