Modded Confluence can handle this, too...
Currently predefined for documentary, but custom entry will follow tomorrow...

So you have to use Glass SVN or Modded Confluence.

I don't know Modded Confluence but Glass let you define custom menus and you can activate for each one my script to display random items or last added items.

Do you want a little How-to ?

mike I have already tried it in Glass SVN and Nox Git ( which utilises the script) in glass I have configured it and i Can see the widget but it remains empty and dosent show anything , unfortunately in Nox home screen dosent even shows the widgets , its as if the skin isnt even calling the script

I'll post a few screens when I get back home to explain further

- mikebzh44 - 2012-02-20

Which version of Glass ? I'm running v112.

In the Glass directory skin.glass.svn, could you open includes.xml and search for :

Code:
randomanlastitems

If you have :
Code:
unwatched=True
or
Code:
resume=True

Please change to :
Code:
unwatched=False
or
Code:
resume=False

In Glass settings, did you have done this :

System > Skin
Menu customizer
Customize Menu 1
Set label and playlist

Home window options
Show recently added items
Set same playlist as above for customized menu
Show Random items
Set same playlist as above for customized menu

I have a similar problem with modded confluense right now.
I just made this logfile for that skin but since its about this script and it seems to be on two different skins I'll post this here aswell.

The error show up here:

EDIT: Now looking at the code, my playlist isn't "custom1.xsp" its "AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\playlists\video\film.xsp"
custom1 is the custom homebutton I have placed "film.xsp" in. changing the playlists filename to custom1 made it work.

Your playlist custom1 has been created and you browse it ?

Because in the log, you can see :

Code:
14:06:24 T:3600   ERROR: Error loading Smart playlist special://masterprofile/playlists/video/custom1.xsp (failed to read file)
14:06:24 T:3600   ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting special://masterprofile/playlists/video/custom1.xsp

For me, it's not a script issue but a skin issue.

Already solved...
His playlist was named "fi lm" and not "custom1"...
Your script is working fine! Awesome work...

BTW&OT: Saw some small issues with viewtype installer in 720p...
Will fix them and then send you the file

Haha...this is definetly NOT funny... Laugh

- fmronan - 2012-02-21

I think especially since we do not have the same humor.
However, this also allows most testing to be done before offering you the script
