I have a small problem: I have a good collection of films and when i enter in the section devoted to them i can't find a movie quickly. I's possible to make the film button lead to tje genres list rather than to the film list? And you can include the kind "All movies"? In this way we can still access the list of all movies. Thank you and good work!

thecubical Wrote:Also not sure if this is possible but it would be nice to have some kind of skip to by letter function on the UI, I know I can enable this on teh remote but it would be cool if there was say an option where you select it and it brings up A-Z letters in a horozontal menu and u slide to which letter you want to skip to. This was in a meedio skin I used to use was quite a handy feature, specially if your remote doesnt have the numbers on the buttons.

mfsav2 Wrote:Ronie,
Bug found: when I enter in the video are I'm always in the file list mode? even if last time I was in library.


with PM3.hd does not happen

If I swp from PM3 to Transparency it goes back always to file mode.

this is a sample directory structure I was using:

Directory of T:\test out\output 2\A Beautiful Mind (2001).offdvd

lupick Wrote:yes it could be fine to have it in any screen... maybe with the clock in a top right corner of the screen

ronie Wrote:It's not a bug, it's a feature ;-)

You can get rid of this behaviour, by disabling it:
Settings > Skin Settings > Home window > Videos Menu - Use file mode

ronie Wrote:If there's a real need for offline flagging i will add it, but there has to be some discussion first on how to do it, what string to look for in the filename or foldername.

Adding a feature that only works for dvd's makes no sense imo. It should work for all media, bluray, hddvd, sdtv, hdtv, etc...

Maybe (just an idea) you could open a new thread in the General Discussion Forum, so you can get some input on how others are tagging their offline media and at the same time get some attention from other skins as well, cause it would be best if all skins would support this in the end.



Is the a general need for this among xbox users?
There's already an option to show freemem on all pages, it's called debug mode.
I know this doesn't look great and is probably not what your looking for.
Another option is to check System Info once in a while if you're concerned about memory usage. I'm also willing to add it to the System Info on the home screen (the one that displays when the settings button has focus)...

What i'm worried about is if i just add every request we'll end up with a skin with about a hundred different options nobody uses...(well, only one person uses).

Again, if this really is a 'must have' among xbox users, i have no problem adding it.

lupick Wrote:You are right but the debug mode looks really terrible. Any other xbox user need to check the memory consumption?

ronie Wrote:If you want the Movies button on the Home Menu to take you to the genre list, open Home.xml and change all occurrences of:

Code:

<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,movietitles,return)</onclick>

to:

Code:

<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,videodb://1/1/,return)</onclick>

thomash72 Wrote:Beacuse of this great skin I have spent 4 days now adding local fanart.jpg files to my full music collection
A couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to introduce a Fanart view in "Now Playing Mode" to show even more of the fanart?
I am currently using the 'full list', but moving the text away from the centre of the screen may let the fanart shine even more ?

thomash72 Wrote:2. Is it possible for this skin to display locally stored fanart.jpg files also in library mode when these files are available?
Currently only a small subset of my artists are displaying fanart when in library mode (I guess these are the ones retrieved from the scraper) and the locally stored fanart.jpg files are not used.

ronie Wrote:this shouldn't be necessary. now that your fanart is in place, the build-in scrapers will pick it up.

one option is to delete the music database and re-add your music collection.
another option would be to do it manually one-by-one. bring up the artist info dialog and select get fanart.

thomash72 Wrote:I hoped this was the case, but my problem is that I can not get the built in scrapers to pick up my locally stored fanart.jpg files. I have now tried deleting the MyMusic7.db library file and re-scraped my collection with no success. The local fanart is only displayed in visualization and Now Playing mode. When browsing at artist level I get the default scraper images for a small subset of artists, and no fanart for the others.

Is there maybe trick with regards to setting up the scraper settings to pick up the locally stored fanart.jpg files (similar to 'use folder names for lookups for the video scrapers') ? I have my music scraper set to Allmusic, scraping both Artist and Album information. I have also tried some of the other music scrapers with similar results.
