thank you ppic!

what would it be like if we could animate the fanart background
into short cut clips of the TV show intro! possible??!

difficult, i'm sure it's possible to re-write the script in order to fetch the first (or a random) episode from the tv show and start the playback.
next up all skins supporting this would need to add a video background in the tvshow library views.

most problematic part (read: impossible) would be the identify where the intro tune starts in an episode.
most episodes start with a 2-3 minute opening scene, before the intro kicks in.

It would have to be a defined cut file, just like the theme.mp3 - but without sound so that the theme can be played while showing the intro..
At least thats how I imagine it ... so you have theme.mp3 downloaded, and theme.mkv (silent) as well.
I'm sure there's other ways to do it as you say though. And I guess there isn't probably a website to scrape these intro's from,
would have to be created by users directly ... but, still interesting.

Is there anyway to have the 'lower sound value' enabled in tvtunes and avoid the volume change popup?

There's already a volume control in TV Tunes.

Could you elaborate? Do you mean the "lower sound value" in the tvtunes config? If so, that is what I am using, but whenever you enter or a leave a show within XBMC a window pops up to tell you that the volume has changed. That is what I am trying to avoid.

Hello
I am using tvtunes but i think i found a bug.
I use a path substitute for addon_data.
In advancedsettings.xml
Code:
<substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/addon_data/</from>
    <to>smb://192.168.50.100/XBMC_Share/addon_data/</to>
  </substitute>
The first time i launch the plugin (clicking on TVTunes button in the TV series details) it looks to work correctly.
The second time i start the plugin, it thouws an error.
I found that the temp directory is created on the local addon_data directory and not in the shared one.
Furthermore, in the log i found the error
Code:
16:35:48 T:1840  NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--

The error "Impossibile creare un file, se il file esiste gi" means "Impossible to create a file if it already exists".
Is this possible that in some of the check/creation/delete of file the path is not translated to the actual path?

we had the bug in the release candidates, but it should've been fixed.

I am using the final Eden release. Although I just noticed it looks like tvtunes will not update as it still shows the Pre-2.0.0 version. I have tried uninstalling and then forcing a refresh on the xbmc.org add-on repo and then installing it again. It appears that version 1.0.17 is installed, but when I look at the change-log or go to configure it, it appears that the 1.9.6 Pre-2.0.0 version is still installed. Any ideas?

you get 1.0.17 from the official xbmc addon repo.
pre-2.0.0 is from the passion repo.

i can only help you out if you're 200% sure you're using 1.0.17

Ronnie, thanks for the help.

It is very strange, I am downloading tvtunes from going to the official xbmc.org add-on repo and it does say it installed 1.0.17, but then when I look in the packages folder it appears it really downloaded 1.9.6 from passion repo instead.

I am going to disable the passion repo altogether and try again.
