script favourites - new features

BTW, I guess this brakes version 2 compatibility, and when released XBMC will automatically pull newer script version?

If you use the new feature, v3.0.0 or later will be required of course. If you have enabled automatic updates, XBMC will update the script as soon as the new version is available.

Thanks for info. It's not about me, of course, but users.

However, we should probably think about better management for scripts in the future. Say I'm not able to update skin ATM but the script gets updated. It could render the skin practically unusable.

Yes that's why script should always be backwards compatible, at least for a little while after bigger changes. Only thing that has changed is the playlist attribute, it no accepts every string instead of play only.

Works great here but I do have one request - can it be made to use the addon list 6 instead of list 3 by any chance?

Currently with list 3 -

How it would look with list 6 -

It looks much better with the images in my opinion.

Also, what's the blank space at the top?

Thanks.

I agree. Though, if I'm not wrong list 3 and 6 looks the same in my skin (similar to yours 6).

I have never figured out when system use one and when another...

I'm not sure if it's possible to use the list with id 6 but I'll check that.

I always thought that list 3 didn't use images, if it does then I'll change it.

Best not to use list 6 as it can contain specific addon info in other skins.

Yes and it also seems to be not possible. Smile
