QUARTZ - support thread

Ok, i think there is no other way...;-( Shit... what about to delete video Thumbs Folder in database? I only want to reload posters & covers, but not my whole database...?! 1080 is great and looks very nice:-)

That might work but you may need to increase default <thumbsize> in advanced settings. I played with kids library yesterday and it seemed that it was fetching lower-res thumb as opposed to what you get with re-deowloading poster from Video Info screen.

Please post about your progress, I'll wait until you (or somebody else) find a solution

Heh..

by the lack of feedback I assume that nobody is having issues with latest versions. It works on both of my devices great so I'll move on to preparing update for official repository. This will probably be the last update for some time.

I also dont get a live tv menu in the settings nor on the main screen - using confluence all good - quartz skin shows PVR client enabled in installed add ons....

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hmm.. that's very interesting as it shows at my side as it should.

Item is using check <visible>System.HasPvr</visible>, which should return true on PVR builds. Do you happen to know what check is used on other skins?

Any chance you could PM the uncompressed textures for Quartz so I could build a TV Guide add-on skin to complement your great skin?

Take a look at https://github.com/pecinko It might be better to wait a bit though, until I finish transition to 1080.

None until I'm more familiar with your setup

Try git version I have added skin setting for PVR.

In the git version you seem to have disabled wrapping to the left (in the icon view). Could you please bring this back? I was very excited when I saw this functionality was added in the previous version!

Hey pecinko!

Any chance we get to fully customize/rename all of the items on homescreen?
Right now it looks like this:





There is 2x "Movies" and 2x "TV Shows". It would be nice to rename the items to something like "All Movies" or "All TV Shows" and the "Newly Added" to simply "New".

Heh..

I had to do something about XBMC bug that moved frame out of the grid. It happens only on last row but it sure does not look nice and is a bit confusing, right?

There are two and a half possibilities for this

1 - Rename your item in main bar to (MyMovies, MyTvshows ... )
2 - Disable build in filters (Movies and Newly added) and make your own using favorites. E.g. add "Recently added movies" to FAVs, rename them using context menu in FAVs to "New". Finally add them to home movies menu. (** alt rename them by directly editing favorites.xml in your user folder **)

1/2 is for me to add rename possibilities for built-in filters which will make settings messy, which is not really desired

Call me a noob, but do I just download the git from the Zip button and then install as normal?

Sorry for such a lame one but I usually just use your repository inside XBMC

Yes. To install from GitHub:

- grab a ZIP form https://github.com/pecinko/quartz or use https://github.com/pecinko/quartz/zipball/master for direct download
- addons -> settings -> install from zip
