Got a small problem, I share my favourites.xml from a NAS device. When I add a submenu item for Favourites it accesses the NAS favourites.xml. When I want to add a favourited ITEM from favourites.xml the skin gets the local favourites.xml file. Shouldn't it be getting what advancedsettings.xml defines as the favourites.xml file location ALL the time?

Actually it's the script.favourites being used for the custom categories and custom submenus. Maybe the script is ignoring the advancedsettings.xml file and only using the local favourites.xml file.
I'll ask around in the forums.

Strange that I've never noticed this before until I used this skin....I read the thread an I'm not doubting anyone's answer...just never experienced this until Rapier.

Different skins use different approaches to custom categories/submenus than using script.favourites. Some skins use script.skinshortcuts instead, but switching to this script in Rapier would break everyones custom categories/submenus.
I will try to see if I can simplify the code, maybe not using script.favourites, although I doubt it very much.

Just two quick questions about movie sets.
Is it possible to change the poster shown on the main sets page? I didn't see any option in the context menu. It is showing a poster from a specific movie in the set and I'd like to use something more generic for each set.
Would it be possible to add the sets to the main movie library window? Like, if scrolling through the "S" movies, it would show the Star Trek Collection as a single poster, but then show the set view if chosen. The sets sub-menu is great, but I miss having all the movies in the main movie view.

Thanks Gade. What quick service!
I found the trouble with the poster art. I wasn't getting the "manage" option in the context menu. Once you told me it should be there, I switched to a different skin, switched back, and it showed up. So all is well now.
Not exactly sure about the other one though. I have the "group movies in sets" option chosen, but they still aren't showing up in the movie view. I checked it in MQ5 and I could see them. Switched back to Rapier and I couldn't. Even tried to refresh one of the movies in a set to see if that got the set to show up. Didn't work. So I'm not sure what's going.
Not that big of a deal though. At least the sets are still available in the sub-menu. Thanks for adding that. I have a lot of movie sets and it really helps to have them all together again.
