Shade: Official Release Thread

1.0.6

Kiosk Mode
Scrollbar for LowList View (optional)
Ability to turn off popup on Wallstream View

I will upload soon.

Is the scrollbar for the movie description? What's Kiosk mode?

I've just noticed on some of the views, eg Low List, it display "Not Available" instead of "..." to go up a level, can that be changed

Scrollbar is for the list of films. Kiosk mode turns off the bottom bar that allows the user to change views.

Are you referring to the file folder to move back a level? Post a screenshot please.

After some searching i have found the culprit for my problems (at least the file).

[i]My problem is in the includesHomeRecentlyAdded.xml. I swapped the one in Shade for the one in confluence and now it's fetching the right information.

But has the graphics of confluence (ofc! ). So my next step is to find the code that is faulty in Shade and switch that out.
Help would be appreciated [/i]

Ignore the above... the problem must be that recentlyadded doesn't do its job right in Shade. (I've tried night, confluence and mediastream_redux and they all work perfectly).

What is different in Shade that Recentlyadded doesn't work when using a remote database?

Hehe, i think i've gotten a little closer. I think the problem is in this line:
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=8&amp;totals=True&amp;albums=True&amp;unplayed=True)</onfocus>

It is part of the Home.xml file.

When i recplace it with this:
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=8)</onfocus>

The script works again... but only for recently added material.

I hope i'm getting there

Btw congrats on the new release! I'll try it asap



Progress:
When i change it to this:
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=8&albums=True)</onfocus> albums and video recently added work.
But when i add &totals=true&unplayed=true the script breaks. (Maybe the query has to be different when using a remote database)

But for people using a remote database this can be a temporary solution to use this kick-ass skin

Coming in 1.0.7!

Animations added to home screen and other items.

Layout change for Movies section on Home Screen:



Program Section on Home screen now has direct access to scripts.

[Focus on Main Menu]



[Focus on Bottom Section]



[Clicking on button]

Are you perhaps also using a remote database to store your movie information? (by using the <videodatabase> tags in the advancedsettings.xml file?)

I'm still getting this error too, does anyone know how to fix it. I use ember to set fanart etc if that makes a difference
