[RELEASE] Xperience1080 v0.9b (nightlies only)

Is it possible to somehow hide the little notice regarding the status of a television series based on the status itself? Say a show is cancelled, then I don't really need to see the sad notice reminding me of the fact that I'll never see new episodes…

with this skin, it's possible use local poster.jpg for movie?

1. I included the fonts from Confluence in my skin so it should work. Please check if it works correctly in Confluence.
2. Settings -> Skin -> Home -> Manage custom home items
3. What problems exactly? They don't show? If it shows banners, that problem has been answered many times now.

3. It looks something like this (borrowed the screenshot from someone else with same problem)


I.e. the image on the right is "zoomed in". It's the same for all images.

I have all posters (poster.jpg) downloaded and I've selected prefer posters...

Just installed this skin an I really like it. One question though: Do I need special plugins for the spotlight (in home) and recommended albums (in music) in the homescreen? For me these are just empty boxes.

not enough i think, you need refresh the thumb for every show you add/scrap before you change the setting to "prefer posters"
i think xbmc keeps using the old banners he scrap before until you refresh thumb.

@Chokladkakan
No, currently not possible, you have to edit Includes_TVGuide.xml.

@m0uthless
No. Why would you want to use a local poster?

@Cthugha
That problem has been discussed many times now, you have banners as thumbnail and not posters. Use posters and everything will be fine (banners are the default settings unless you have posters stored as folder.jpg or enabled prefer posters in the tvdb scraper settings). This problem will hopefully go away with the next version of XBMC.

@ixdvc
You need globalsearch for spotlight and randomitems script for recommended albums. Both should be installed automatically if you install the repo version of the skin. If you use the github version, you manually have to install the scripts.

thx black for the answer.
i configured the tmdb scraper to download info in italian (my language), but the poster are downloaded too in italian, but i want use the original poster that i have in each movie folder not the italian cover that it is always in bad quality

Then from now on add 'movie.tbn' (just rename .jpg to .tbn) to the movie folder before it's scraped by XBMC. That's how I do it.

But is there a fix for it? I have posters enabled/preferred everywhere... Can't the skin just use poster.jpg if it exists?

You probably did that after your tv shows were scanned... you have to do it before you add any shows or you have to re-scrape them afterwards or update the thumbnail manually. Skin doesn't use poster.jpg anywhere.
