I'm porting Aeon Nox 4 to Gotham and when i try the widgets they are always populate only with movies and random it never take the current playlist I'm selecting, so my question, is this script working correct over Gotham ?
I'm just asking because i like to know if this is a skin problem or Gotham problem before i start looking over the code
Thanks

On my laptop PC at my office (Core [email protected] GHz - 4 Gb RAM but Win7 32bits so only 3 Gb available) from starting XBMC from desktop to getting all widgets populated, it took only 31 sec.

The only way to speed (a little) the script is to use smart playlist based on episodes and not on TV shows but when you enter custom menu based on episode smart playlists, you see only episodes, not TV shows and seasons :S

Or you can build 2 smart playlists for each menu : one based on TV shows for the custom menu action and one based on episodes for the widget. But I don't think that Ace cant handle one smart playlist for menu action and another for widget. Or you will have to edit home.xml to call the script with the right playlist :

guisettings.xml :

Code:

<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.vpl4.path">special://profile/playlists/video/Serial_Barat.xsp</setting>

home.xml :

Code:

    <onload condition="System.HasAddon(script.randomandlastitems) + !IsEmpty(skin.string(vpl4.path)) + SubString(skin.string(mfvpl4_list),latest)">RunScript(script.randomandlastitems,limit=12,method=Last,playlist=special://profile/playlists/video/Serial_Barat_Episodes.xsp,menu=Menu34)</onload>
    <onload condition="System.HasAddon(script.randomandlastitems) + !IsEmpty(skin.string(vpl4.path)) + SubString(skin.string(mfvpl4_list),random)">RunScript(script.randomandlastitems,limit=12,method=Random,playlist=special://profile/playlists/video/Serial_Barat_Episodes.xspmenu=Menu34)</onload>
    <onload condition="System.HasAddon(script.randomandlastitems) + !IsEmpty(skin.string(vpl4.path)) + SubString(skin.string(mfvpl4_list),inprogress)">RunScript(script.randomandlastitems,limit=12,resume=True,method=Last,playlist=special://profile/playlists/video/Serial_Barat_Episodes.xsp,menu=Menu34)</onload>

I cannot speed up the script by removing _watchedOrResume function. Because you are using TV Shows smart playlist, JSON query return only TV Shows informations. So for gettings latest or random episodes from TV Shows smart playlist, the script have to execute extra JSON queries to get informations about seasons and episodes for each TV shows returned by first JSON query.

So, I think you have to deal with it (or by a more powerfull HTPC ). And I think that when you will create your 30 custom menus based on 30 smart playlists, you will create a huge trafic jam with JSON query

<smartplaylist type="tvshows">

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>Serial Barat</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">X:\</rule>
</smartplaylist>

Serial Barat - Episodes type :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>Serial Barat</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">X:\</rule>
</smartplaylist>

When you enter Serail Barat menu, you arrive on episodes list with no TV shows or seasons informations :

Serial Barat - TV Shows type :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>Serial Barat</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">X:\</rule>
</smartplaylist>

When you enter Serail Barat menu, you arrive on TV Show level :

Then on Season level or Episode level (if only one season is available and option is set in XBMC settings) :

Code:

&quote;

from guisettings.xml for XSP file :

Before :

<setting type="string" name="skin.aeon.nox.gotham.SmartPlaylist1.Call">RunScript(script.randomandlastitems, type=Movie, playlist=&quote;special://profile/playlists/video/Parents.xsp&quote;, method=Last, limit=10, unwatched=True, resume=False, property=SmartPlaylist1)</setting>

After :

<setting type="string" name="skin.aeon.nox.gotham.SmartPlaylist1.Call">RunScript(script.randomandlastitems, type=Movie, playlist=special://profile/playlists/video/Parents.xsp, method=Last, limit=10, unwatched=True, resume=False, property=SmartPlaylist1)</setting>

Don't know if Gotham add this code when upgrading from Frodo.
