Hey Ronie,
Did you manage to add the button for the extrafanart downloading?

Next version will include extrathumbs. For now all script skin code will stay the same.
What do you think is a good maximum for the extrathumbs? It's now set at 4.

i have no idea how many thumbs other skins are using, but T! is currently limited to 2.


offtopic: i hope, one day, the extrafanart, logo-dwnloader and cdart manager scripts will merge and we can have one addon for all our extra artwork needs. :-)

Nox has a max of 4 so i think i'll stick with that.

We are ironing out the internals of the downloader so it will be easier to expand. It takes some time for me because I don't know s**t about coding and especially python. So i'm really learning as i go along.

One thing that now has to be done is enable pre-cashing because after the first downloading batch you'll go through hell when xbmc is doing it's on the fly caching.

yeah, you're gonna need that when you get to deal with all the issues users are having with your scripts. ;-)

python is fun...and easy to learn.

just google what you don't know and you'll find plenty code examples to get you started.


oh...and add a lot of logging to the script, so you can see exactly what's going on.

That's why you first need to test them before releasing Wink
lol just kidding

That's something we did from the start when trying it out ourself. As much error catching as possible.

It's a shame that the wiki isn't up-to-date. The only way you can know how to do something is take apart other scripts. Like the working with the GUi.
Luckily i have done some basic C/C++ and JAVA and just asking around helps.

right, it's there... done Smile

didn't have much room for an extra button in the video info dialog,
so i had to take the difficult route and be creative to come up with a suitable solution.

Great.
I'll download the svn tomorrow and see what you've come up with.

Latest build Oct 29 compile has brought back the mediaflags and the movie-plot, but the double dates are still there in video file mode.

that's only in coverflow view right?
if you enable stacking on the side menu, solves the issue correct?

Correct... Love the integration of poster/fanart into artwork but I noticed blue line slightly off in TV mode. [Image: screenshot003pu.jpg] detail triva... Love'n it so far.
