Quote:1) Are the file mode views no longer there for Videos? Using the Dharma version, I used to be able to have "Videos" home button default to a particular folder in file view. I had all my non-scrapable content in there. I was still able to use all the nice views like DVD case view, which would display locally stored thumbs. It seems that with the new pre-eden version I can now only view all sources in library mode. (The toggle button is gone from the side-menu).

Quote:2) When I try to "set favorite" for a custom home shortcut the list of favorites is blank even though I do have some sources marked as favorites. I can see my favorites via the heart on the home menu, but when selected they don't play nice (blank listing or non-navigable listing)

Quote:I love the integration of the last.fm slideshow script. A few outstanding questions / problems:

A) I love the way the generic fanart pic plays until the first last.fm image is downloaded. However when changing from one artist to another the old artist's pics are played until the new artist's first image is downloaded. Especially if your connection is congested, this can lead to the wrong artist's pix being displayed for quite a while. Any way to have it always fall back to the generic image?

Quote:B) Any way to alter the speed of / disable Ken Burns for the last.fm slideshow?

Quote:C) Last.fm slideshow won't play behind home menu even with "enable visualization and slideshow in home enabled".

Quote:D) Did you ever check out the feasibility of getting the now playing banner on top of the last.fm slideshow? That way it would be possible to see what song is playing just by glancing at the screen, without having to press tab / esc etc.

Sharpe Wrote:If you set your misc folder to content type, for example, "movie" but exclude it from library updates then you will be able to use the video library movie views when going into that folder.

Quote:Re: changing last.fm artist as soon as new artist starts playing
I don't think so skinwise - ronie may be able to help with that. I think once you have a batch of fanart downloaded this becomes much less of an issue.

Quote:Re: Ken Burns for slideshow
Yes - I can see about adding the on off toggle to it - currently I'd just left it enabled.

Quote: regarding last.fm slideshow as background in home screen
I'm not sure but I don't think it's possible. I think it's just been built to be used in that screen. - One for our friend ronie again I think.

Ronie Wrote:the script will only do anything when you're actually playing music.
it's not limited to showing the slideshow in the fullscreen window though.
the slideshow of the currently playing artist can be shown anywhere in the skin,if a skinner decides to implement it that way.

Quote:#Edit - ok I've added it to the SVN check it out.

Quote:Also noticed a few small bugs in the pre-eden svn:

1.) If any custom Home Shortcuts are set up via the skin options page then home submenus disappear for all the home screen buttons.

Quote:2.) If 2 custom home shortcuts are set up, there is a glitch in the home-menu left-right scrolling. Hard to describe, but you can see a moment of blank bar on the left of the menu-bar as you scroll. Hope you can see the same thing so you know what I'm talking about. Oddly this problem isn't there if 1 or 3 home shortcuts are activated.

Quote:3.) On the secondary home menu screen (the one brought up by pressing "down" and then the "tools" button), I have several empty fields that can be selected at the bottom of the list. Really not a big deal, but figured you'd want to know so you can tidy it up

Quote:4.) Random items aren't working on the home screen - but I think you mentioned this is an XBMC issue right?

Cheers!

Quote:5.) I set up my non-scrapable folder as a favourite (set content as movies, excluded from library updates as you suggested). I then access this favorite from a home menu shortcut. Once browsing this source however, if i press the "..." button or backspace to go up a level I am presented with a listing of the files / folders up one level (ie a listing containing a bunch of non XBMC intended file / folders). Shouldn't this just take me to the library root (not the file /folder root) in the new system?

PatrickVogeli Wrote:Hi!

Secons is probably more a request: I love you big wall view. However, I don't like that the info shows automatically, I'd like the info to show when I press Info on the remote. Is there a way to disable this? Even if its tweaking and xml file or whatever.

PatrickVogeli Wrote:Hi!

I've installed your skin and I'm having some issues.

I've selected the Aeon like menu bar and separate backgrounds for each menu item, but the tv-shows one isn't working. I've tried several pictures from several folders and none works, it just displays a black background.

Thanks! You've done a really great skin!

Sharpe Wrote:Hi Patrick - for the first question can I just check which version of the skin are you using? The eden-pre or the Dharma one? I can't replicate the error in the eden-pre version and don't have a dharma version installed to test.

For the second part I'll make a toggle button in Skin Options to turn that feature off or on for both icon wall

PatrickVogeli Wrote:Hi! I'm using the dharma version, zip downloaded from the first page. The image is a png 1920x1080 I got from htbackdrops. When I set it up in the options it shows fine in the setting screen, but then in the menu bar it just stays black.

For the second thing, that was exactly what I looked for, thank you very much

Sharpe Wrote:When you say submenus do you mean the ones under Videos, Movies, TV Shows etc? - If so then that's because submenus haven't been set up to work under the short-cut home menu items. With not really knowing what shortcut's people would be using I never added any. I suppose I could and allow people to pick their own items.

Quote:Can you just check that you don't have any blank items ticked under submenu custom scripts in skin options - that's probably the cause.

Quote:Ok I've added the info toggle to skin options - so far only for the eden-pre version.

Quote:...I mean things like "genre", "singles" etc under Music for example. Or "TV guide" and "genre" under TV-shows. I know that submenus aren't meant to be available under the user defined home shortcuts (although I would love it if they were).

However, they always used to work on default shortcuts (movies, tv-shows, music etc.) regardless of how many user defined home shortcuts i enable via skin settings. Now, as soon as I enable any user-defined home shortcuts, i cant access submenus on any of the default shortcuts.

Quote:... i see the option in the skin options, but enabling it doesn't seem to make any difference. I still get the pop-up when viewing music singles with "wall icons" view. Incidentally, I do like the simplicity of the pop-up - I just find it comes up too soon. Maybe just delayed say 10 seconds would be good. Is the double info press idea not feasible? (ie press info once to get simple pop up, and again to get regular info screen?).
