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 Frown 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

Looks like there are 3 options:
1) My short script for random movie - Pro: lightweight Con: requires users to install new script, no filter for genres or unwatched movies
2) Use script.randommitems - Pro: includes unwatched filter Con: not really designed to run on an on-demand basis
3) I create custom version of my script including functionality from script.randommitems - Pro: can add genre selection, make it work in way that suits the skin Con: needs more of my time, requires users to install new script.

If we want the skin to be totally amazing, then 3) may be the way to go...

Yep, take your time ... i agree, option 3 would be fantastic !

Really excited for the upcoming update.

Anyway I have a few problems hopefully easily fixable. I use Fanart view for movies, please refer to screenshots below:

-the Duration part and the star thingy (I think this is the IMDB Top 250 rating) are overlapped, what could be done here? tried disabling it but could not find an option to do so, although being able to move it somewhere at the bottom would be better, say inbetween the rating and studio?

-second thing is about the Trailer Flag, which is somehow not aligned properly to the top

-I have trailers set to play in the Fanart frame, thing is the trailer filename is displayed as well, which is not ideal, anyway to remove that?

I'm guessing you use ember mm. I had the same issue. Fire up ember and check out the duration box. Just keep the number and get rid of the extra stuff. Then refresh the movie in xbmc. Had to do this for almost my entire library.
