Seems like with artwork organizer I need to choose between either movie fanart, tv show fanart, etc. And as there's no predetermined path I either need to make assumptions or require the user to enter the path so I can make the skin look for the images in the right place. I would prefer to make this a setup free process. RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - robweber - 2013-05-12 @Jeroen I'm still up for letting you use my script since it is a lot simpler if it will do what you are looking for. Right now the default path is special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart/ - which is where reFocus looked in the pre-Frodo versions of xbmc since all the fanart ended up there. Using this directory seemed easy since it allowed for in place upgrades to Frodo pretty seamlessly. How were you thinking of triggering updates of the fanart in this folder? adding a "trigger" to the homescreen or something of that nature seems like overkill as it will be running a lot. I still think a service that updates based on a python monitor for database updates or timer would work best for hands of functionality for the end user. Let me know what you want and I can modify my addon to suit for your testing purposes. Once it is where it needs to be I'll submit to the official repo so it can be an automatic dependency. RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - Jeroen - 2013-05-13 (2013-05-12, 22:35)robweber Wrote: @Jeroen That would be great. And as there's already an option in the skin to set a custom folder for background images, the user can use Artwork Organizer too. Using a trigger everytime the homescreen is loaded probably is overkill. Your suggestion to make it a service sounds fine to me.

Furthermore adding a property for Video, Music and RecentlyAdded fanart would be perfect. No settings, no user interfere. If you could make it like that and also added to the official repo IMO a lot of skinner's it will be grateful.

I haven't forgotten about this - just too many other things have gotten in the way lately. I'll be sure to post back here when have something in my git repo for testing. RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - fogcity - 2013-06-03 By far the best skin for XBMC. Really solid work. Two questions: 1) I respect the design decision to leave the home page conspicuously minimal by default, but it really helps to have a selectable list of recent movies and episodes right there on the home page. Any way I can see New Episodes when the TV SHOWS menu item has focus in home page (and same deal with New Movies when MOVIES has focus)? Like it works in Confluence?[/php] 2) How come I see just a blue background for my home page? no fanart, no nothin. Not like in the preview screengrabs.

It won't be on hover though, there will be a separate shelf/menu/panel/whatever you want to call it containing recently added/in progress items that you can acces from the home menu Quote:2) How come I see just a blue background for my home page? no fanart, no nothin. Not like in the preview screengrabs. It's caused by changes in the way XBMC stores fanart. There will be a workaround using robweber's addon. Actually you can use it now already. RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - fogcity - 2013-06-03 (2013-06-03, 12:04)Jeroen Wrote:(2013-06-03, 05:51)fogcity Wrote: By far the best skin for XBMC. Really solid work. Thanks for the reply! 1) Will this be girlfriend-friendly? Basically I want to leave it so she can turn on the TV and the new movies and episodes are immediately visible. I can teach her to use the arrow and OK buttons, but there's no value in features that don't leap out at her when she arrows up or down through the menu. 2) Will look into it. Thanks again! RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - robweber - 2013-06-04 Finally, I had some free time to start work on implementing the fanart service. A pretty good implementation is sitting in my git repo at the moment for testing. This should recreate how reFocus functioned pre-Frodo pretty nicely with no user intervention. https://github.com/robweber/script.grab.fanart.git Right now the service watches for DatabaseUpdated events from an XBMC Monitor and triggers the fanart grabber to rebuild the cache. There are a few caveats to this but I don't think they are really going to be issues for anyone. I've documented them in the README but here they are for anyone interested: 1) If you change fanart on a file you'll need a manual run, or wait for the next database update event to swap it in the grabber cache 2) If the database is cleaned this does not register as an update (in Gotham there is a Monitor for this) so after a clean you'll need a manual run or wait for the next database update event to clear the cache 3) TV and Movie database updated trigger 2 separate events. If they happen close together you may miss fanart from a new series/movie done by one of them due to the grabber running while the second is still scanning. Again, do a manual update or wait for the next database update event. I have not implemented anything for music, if this is something people are looking for I don't think it would be hard to add. I would just make a separate music folder and store those items there. RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - fogcity - 2013-06-04 YES. works great on my osx install. THANKS RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - nessus - 2013-06-05 Thanks robweber. Will test it and get back to you. As for the Music fanart, i think will be very good option for the MusicVisualization screen. Cheers Nessus RE: [RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5 - fogcity - 2013-06-05 A thought for robweber: It would be nice to have the fanart captioned with the title of the movie / show it comes from, and triple nice to be able to select that caption and play the item in question. What's the chance of any of that? |
