Continuing off-topic: I'm not really sure what you mean. The code I posted will work with a try/except-block, but the script will have to be run every time the selection changes. What I couldn't get working was altering the properties of every item in the video-list (can't get the listitems from within the script). Wasn't planning on releasing anything, just thought is was a fun place to start, so never mind. Guess this is what the script development subforum is for Smile

On-topic: Extremely nice skin, checking in on this thread daily...

ok, but i would stick with numbers in db, don't really think that get total episode of the show will be a pleasure to grab.

he is after how many episodes are out there in total for a show right?

could this page over at thetvdb.com be of help?
http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=78261&lid=7

omitting the "Specials" section and counting lines would at least give a number of added episodes. (Perhaps possible to ask thetvdb.com blokes to add it to the API to fetch total amount of episodes?)

If any of you use Sickbeard, its getting its info from somewhere. Now, it may be since it scrapes the full episode list when you add a show, that it is calculating the total number of episodes that it scraped - so not technically finding that information directly from thetvdb.

And, to my previous point - that is really nice-to-have information, not critical for the idea. What is critical is total number of episodes, and total watched episodes.

Hey hey - this gives me an idea! I could create a semi-transparent overlay for the clock face that represents 1 degree of rotation. So, as you rotate you "shade" behind the clock hand to represent the amount watched. Might make it a bit easier to conceptualize visually for the casual user.

So, for an 18% rotation, we display the shaded pie-wedge 18 times with 1 degree rotation applied to each.

I like it!

The clock idea thing is overly complicated and only there for the sake of doing it. I don't think it will add anything other than complexity and people will soon ignore it.

Now when will this skin be ready Wink

Just do you dont use his mathmatical skills when making it Laugh

10/180 !=18%, more like 5.5%!

Or it will be so clean and user friendly that it will fade into the background because it is so intuitive. Which should be the goal of good design.

Plus I kind of like it

And don't diss math skills of someone typing on a phone in traffic. It isn't polite.

TV Season view update:

Note to self (and ronie) - I think the season thumbs may need some celotape. Yesh. I think they do. I didn't consider how you would know which was selected. I suppose we can use the red dot like we do on the home screen. Works for me. Bueno!

PS ronie finally has all the files for the TV show mockups. Yay! Work can finally begin on that section!
