I've created a new thread: cirrus extended pvr, please put all pvr related stuff and discussions there, as we don't want to mix up posts for user that are not interested about pvr functions. Thanx.

Hi Butchabay,

I have an issue with the length of my movies and tv shows being displayed as "XX min mins" (see screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/5MIxp.jpg)

However, not all of my movies exhibit this. A select few movies simply display "XX mins" as they're should. I'm not really sure how to fix this, as all of my movies have "XX mins" as their length when I scrape with EMM and they all follow the same format.

Suggestions? This only occurs with CE so maybe this is a bug?


- butchabay - 2011-03-03

Sort out the movies and scrap them again with EMM and refresh them in xbmc to take effect. It's not really a skin bug, there are issues with movies scraped with an old EMM version. Try it and tell me again ...

No, using Linux. Maybe that's the difference.

Is there a way to add a couple favorites to a submenu? For example, Pseudo TV, Live TV (favorite from advanced launcher), Hulu (from video plugins). I see a way now but it only adds programs, not favorites/plugins.

I know I can add them to the main menu, but I like to keep that clean, and add these to the submenu.

I could have sworn that there are custom submenus in the skin's settings, but another way of doing it is just go into the skin's 720p file and open up includessubmenu.xml (I think it's called that--or includessubhoriz or something like that if you are using the horizontal home menu)... You'll see the various submenus labelled with comments, and you can just make copies of the existing buttons and replace the labels and activatewindow commands--instant custom button.

Great thanks! There is some options but not favorites, and it's limited to programs.

Yes programs are for the addon submenus, if you're going to change only the submenu you'll don't have it in skin settings, it's a bit more than just modify the submenu xml. I'm goining to add it for next update if possible.


Favourites in Submenus - butchabay - 2011-03-04

I am going to add 5 Favourites for each section, Videos, Movies, TV Shows and Music. I hope that's enough Smile

Will be ready for next update.

Love this skin, I switched to it from Aeon MQ2 and haven't looked back. Based on my experience with that skin though, please please be careful with adding the submenu stuff - when MQ2 did that it slowed down dramatically!

On another note, while I may be in the minority here, I really don't like seeing the IMDB ratings everywhere. I only keep videos that I want to watch and don't really care what other people think. Is there anyway that a switch could be added to disable the ratings display? I have modified the xml to do it, but would rather not have to do that every time there's an update. (I mostly use rightlist view, if that matters)

It's a great skin all around, awesome job!


- zepfan - 2011-03-04

Wahoo! Thanks! Ps. I'm going to update my PseudoTV skin today. Anything you'd like to see in it?

That's pretty awesome.

It makes me think, however... why is it that skins always have to limit the number? Is there any way to let the user add (essentially) infinite menu items?

For example, in settings, instead of seeing 1-5 available submenu spaces, would it be possible to create like an "Add" and "Remove" buttons that would add the code for more buttons?

Does the skinning engine have any way of generating serialized chunks of code like that?


- zepfan - 2011-03-04

I would image it's because every option has to be manually programed in.


- zepfan - 2011-03-04

I dont know if you guys have noticed this, but when the logo shows up in season view, the title overlaps the logo.

Maybe an option to enable the logo, and turn off the text? That way it's on when viewing all shows too.
