Gave the season fanart a try on Carmichael and doesn't appear to be quite working. Fanart doesn't seem to be changing on either the Season or Episode level. When going into Episode level I can see the fanart flash/blink like it was going to change, but the show's normal fanart remains instead of changing.

On the plus side, the video osd backdrop is now fitting properly Smile

Edit: Just noticed the Info screen when playing a video showing the current time now, most excellent Big Grin

That did it, working perfectly now. Really cool seeing suggestions being implemented into your work. Smile

Thanks again mcborzu

i *think* this is a bug: I can't add Advanced Launcher via "Enable Custom Add-on Button" in Settings->Skin->Addon Scripts. Works fine as a "Home Custom Right Favorite" though (which is a really cool addition)

Also (not sure if it's fixable or even a bug) I think the TV Show - Next Aired addon should probably run at start-up in the background...it doesn't seem to work for me in the home "Video" pane unless I manually load up the add-on first. Or maybe add an option to auto-start in options or something.

This skin is so functional, really nice work. my main skin now.

1. It is a limitation, I need more investigating. Only scripts as of now not plugins for submenu

2. It does run at startup, but it needs to be a cold start, meaning startup.xml is not run when you switch from one skin to another...Same with Random script, those two run at startup.

First of all great job with the skin, I just have two little questions.

Is it possible to disable HD Movies in Home view?
And also could you include a shutdown timer in the settings part?

You can disable any home category you want in Settings->Skin->Home Window (or something like home window Confused)

In Settings > Skin > Custom Home I am only able to add Custom Favorites or Playlist, i don't see any option to remove a category whatsoever.

Settings > Skin > Disable Home

And shutdown timer accessed by 'Press S' dialog, actually it's the exact same as Confluence...
