im using the 0.27a which shows the latest media on the home screen...noticed a small bug where it seems to be if an episode doesnt have a name it is given the name of the one above it that has a name.
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.

lupick Wrote:Hi
thank's for this great skin!! I'm using it on my xbox with latest th3c build
I've a couple of issue:
1. Home screen is ok and I use some backgrounds downsized for Xbox memory issue (940x465 if I'm right). Sometime I've some black screen inside info of a film or in skin configuration windows. Rebooting the Xbox is temporary fixing it. Maybe a memory consumption problem?
I have little to no experience with the xbox, so i'll leave this question up to the xbox experts.
lupick Wrote:2. Is it possible to use the free ram on the top of the screen like in the Aeon Xbox lite skin? it will be really useful
Can't say i'm familiar with Aeon Lite, but do you want the free RAM to be visible all of the time, on all screens ?
lupick Wrote:3. I wonder if it could be possible to use the fanart downloaded from the scraper for the home backgrounds. Are they stored in a specific folder??
Yes, all downloaded fanart is stored in these places:
../userdata/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart
../userdata/Thumbnails/Music/Fanart

meanstreak Wrote:nope no go for me on this.
I replaced the /pathtomusic/ in the guisettings.xml with
smb://192/168/0/50/music/
and tried various permutations of this too
the problem is that on a reboot it reverts back to the old guisettings.xml without anything in the /pathto... area.
Now I dunno if its because I am using the xbox for it or whether it doesn't like smb's in the path.
I guess it's a problem like ronie said with xbmc itself - does that mean that all the people out there using cdart have their music stored locally to their htpc/xbox/pc and not using nas servers or remote drives?
tnx
Brent
you'll have to quit xbmc before editting guisettings.xml.
only modify this file when xbmc is not running.
as for the path, it should be like smb://192.168.0.50/music/ or smb://servername/sharename/

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

francyboy Wrote:(Sorry for bad english : I'm Italian)
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!
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>Code:
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,videodb://1/1/,return)</onclick>However, it's not possible to add an 'All Movies' entry to the genres list.

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.

it could be a bug in the script that parses to info from the database...this scripts has been updated a few times over the past week, so could you test it with the latest version?
just rename it to recently_added.py and replace it.

i'm pretty sure that's not possible with xbmc, but if you'd like to have a function like this, feel free to request it in the feature suggestion forum.

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

this is a sample directory structure I was using:
Directory of T:\test out\output 2\A Beautiful Mind (2001).offdvd
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.
