Hello there.
I've recently upgraded from a very old (pre-Dharma) version of XBMC to the latest, nightly build.
Why has it taken me so long?
Well, I had made a lot of custom modifications to the MediaStream skin that I just don't have time to rebuild, and the new Aeon looked awesome, so I finally took the plunge.
Anyway... one of the nice bits of custom functionality was a slightly altered version of the Recently Added script. My version would only show unwatched files, and would only show the earliest episode for each TV series with unwatched items (that way you would always have a list of TV shows that had unwatched episodes, and it would jump you straight to the first episode you hadn't seen).
The latest version of Aeon uses XBMCs built-in Recently Added functionality, which, to be frank, is very limited.
Is there a way to alter the skin so that it uses a custom python script to get the Recent info?
I did a little digging and it looks like there is a call to a custom script still in the home.xml file... Does this still get called?
If this is possible, then I would be happy to adjust my script and make it available to all!
Many thanks,
Dan
