I've two little issues but I'm not sure they are skin related.

FIRST :

I'm using the "Random Episodes" Background to personalize my main menu for 2 personalised menu : TV-Shows and TV-Shows Kids.
Both menus corresponds to separate video playlists with TV shows, for parents and for kids.

I realised that one of the kid's show was missing the fanart.jpg file inside the folder corresponding to the show so sometimes (when the "random episodes" widget decides so) I have a blank fanart.
I added the fanart.jpg file in the right place and restart XBMC but the background remains blank.
I suppose the image is stored somewhere in a cache folder but can't find out where.

SECOND :

For music, I'm using the "Random Albums" widget and the "Live CD cases" background and it works fine. My question is that : why do I don't have any info displayed in the middle of the view, dispite I have an album.nfo file for each album containing info.

Thanks for your help and for your incredible work !

first one: you can set fanart by using info dialog.
second one: should be fixed now on git.

Thanks Phil for your advices.
Everything is fine using the Git version of the skin.
I realised I was running the "official" 3.5 version from the official repo instead of the Git version from passion repo.
I imagine that kind of bug (the second I mentionned) would be fixed when 3.6 would go "official", right ?

I noticed another problem, not sure it is skin related.

I can't refresh the "result" of a widget that should give random items among a playlist such as Random Movies (VPL) or Random Episodes (VPL)

Here are some details :

I'm using two smartplaylists : one for kids-movies (path to kids-movies directory) and one for parents-movies.

I created Custom Menus for the main-screen linked to the two smartplaylists above, and with the following settings :



Contrarly to indicated on the screenshot, I did choose the "Random Movies (VPL)" widget, and not the "Random Movies" widget.

The widget is working fine but it's impossible to refresh the contain of the list.

If I switch to the "Random Movies" widget, the list can be refreshed but obviously, there are movies from outside the smartplaylist.

This goes exactly the same with Random Episodes.

Is it "normal" or a well known problem or is there something wrong on my side ?

Thanks for your answers

@GrendelJapan: Just tried a few combos, but can't reproduce. It would be a help to me if you could post the contents of your skinsettings section in the guisettings.xml.

@Hack_kid: I can't reproduce the missing thumbs problem, but I doubt it is a skin specific problem. Same goes for the artist info, that is likely a script fault, we only call the script and display the infolabels, nothing we can fix whn it doesnt work after a few songs.

Just downloaded 3.5 today and think it's great, a huge improvement on 1.7.0 which i was using previously.

I'd like to make a suggestion regarding the randomized backgrounds for each menu item. This is something i've been looking for for a long time. One of my gripes (if you could call it that) is that the random loop seems to have only 8 items in it so it's really not very long before you're back to the start again.

On the same note, the random loop resets itself each time you navigate away from the main menu (home screen) and restarts again when you return to the home screen. It would be nice if the loop paused while the user was away from it and resumed upon their return.

If i was being really anal I think it would be great to give the user control over how many images would be in each loop and how long they'd be displayed for! Either that or make each array of images as big as the number of Movie / TV fanart images.

Those would be my suggestions but I think the skin is fantastic.

Look for artwork organizer. Split your fanart and point to the respective directories as background folders. To determine how long the loop is you would have to code that yourself, because theres no easy way to make that user configurable. Right now the loop time is 7 sec. If you go to defaults.xml and look for <timeperimage> you can change it to what you want and it will apply to most of the background images in the skin.
