Thanks for you work! Looks really stunning! Nice ;-)
Will give it a try, when I'm at home.

Do you plan to also integrate a music panel into your web interface?
Maybe you can contact the developer of chorus: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=183451
That's another stunning looking web interface. But only for music.... Undecided

Both projects together would be realy nice ;-)

I wasn't planning on adding music, for the simple reason that I don't use music at all.
Might add it in a future version though. I'll keep it in mind Smile

* play next unwatched quick-button for TV Shows (plays next unwatched from oldest season) and Seasons (plays next unwatched from this season)

Not really, to be honest Confused
What you could do is set debugging to true in main.js (in /App folder)
Then perhaps some more info about the issue will be available in your browser console.

simply beautiful and well done..

i have 3 requests:
1 for the search function, can you add years to the movies and add the show title to the episode search results
2 can there be an option to change the white background to a dark grey, the white is just a bit bright when in a dark room
3 center the recent items on the home screen

thanks, and again, nice work.

1. Show title and movie year have been added to search results.
2. I'm looking into a way to easily save settings for the interface. When I find a decent way of doing this, layout options might be one of the changeable things in the skin. However, I'm not a fan of a dark background myself, so I won't change this in the default look.
3. Centering the items looks weird to me, to be honest, so I won't change this directly. If you really want the results centered, you could add text-align: center; to the .section class in the file css/visualix.min.js (around character nr. 3850)

Please drop the gui dependency from addon.xml
That should only apply to skins/scripts.

Do remember that there will be some differences between Frodo and gotham jsonrpc. You can detect which is being used by requesting the JSON-RPC version and act accordingly

I honestly love this thing. I'll hold off on too major feature requests ATM though, as I assume you're still implementing your own features. Out of curiosity though, do you ultimately plan on implementing things like a Now Playing control interface, or are you sticking primarily with search functionality?

Oke, thank you Martijn.

Thanks for the enthousiasm Smile

My main focus was indeed browsing the library.
However, I do feel that a control interface is something that should be included in a future version. It would make it much more useful I think.
