script favourites - new features

`Black · 2011-11-19 19:09

Unlikely... as I said it's not really the select dialog and that's why the full path is shown. It's now a custom dialog, I could also use script-favourites-dialog.xml or something else but every skin has DialogSelect.xml so it makes sense to use it. Smile

Edit: Seems like deinit is not called, I'll look into it.

Danke.

What ID is it using (so I don't get in a collision)?

Just a thought - would it be easier to use ID 3 as in a previous version and set icons? We would just add those to a dialog. They won't be shown with system things but they would be visible with favorites script.

hi,
attached french translation for your script

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

<strings>

    <string id="450">Voulez-vous jouer la playliste au lieu d'entrer dedans?</string>

    <string id="451">Aucun (Efface le paramètre actuel)</string>

</strings>

Thanks, will be added in the next update.

@pecinko
DeInit problem seems to be a bug with python, I already created a trac ticket... same problem with logo downloader.

Ok. So we can use last version and, in time, dialog will start behaving himself I suppose.

I have a big request and I realize it might not be utilized by all skins. There are items in favorites that are missing thumb (like playlists). It would be most welcomed if script could present a dialog for a user to assign one in that case. I was doing this with the old one in such a way that I always called SetLargeImage, regardless of thumb present or not.

That way user confirmed existing one or have chosen his own.

Thoughts?

hi,

I'm noobie when it comes to scripting in xbmc. Currently I'm running pre-eden nightly with Marcos MQ3 skin and not sure how to go about getting this working. I wants to customized the Main Menu and really appreciate your help .

hi noobie, please start by reading the topic of this subforum:

Quote:Skin Development GUI and Web skins/themes, graphics development and suggestions.
No End-User Support Requests! Only skinners and graphic artists.

if you need help getting this to work, the Aeon subforum would be the right place to ask ;-)

Think he wants to code this into mq3, as it's not supported, yet...maybe he is in the right thread...
just my two cents...

@darknet: Am I right, that you want to code this into mq3?
If so, you might take a look at the readme inside the addon...

Edit: sorry guys...my post is non sense...mixed this thread with "deck from plex"
Ronie is right, better ask Marcos in the aeon-forum

cheers,
Max

I know this is a big request but the ability to use a script to select any item - be it a Favourite, Addon, Playlist, etc (just like in your Xperience Metro home screen) - would be pretty damn awesome. It would also allow users to change the name and/or image easily if they so desired.

Thanks.
