Feature suggestions

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Will do.

Elapsed and total time in video info screen (i button on keyboard, info on Harmony)? Current time of of day and the ending time just isn't the same and it feels weird having to pause or bring up the video OSD to see this info.

Other than that, a great skin, with Confluence the top 2 skins at the moment.

Thanks for feedback.

I'll try to incorporate it somehow.

Support for the iPad would be great.

e.g.
back/home-buttons in the menus,
making things like the different view-modes accessible,
touchable scrollbars
...

Yes, as you stated in your post - the list goes on until we have a skin that is actually usable on touch screen In other words, it's either TV friendly or tablet friendly can be both at the same time.

Love Quartz!

Requesting a shortcut to "movie sets" in the home menu. I prefer movie sets as a separate option, as opposed to viewing them as sets within the entire library.

Browse to it, add it to favourites and finally assign that favourite item to Movies submenu via skin settings. Done.

Any plans to add Movie Set function to the skin? Just a link under Movies would suffice I think. Thanks for all the hard work! Love the skin!

Hi,

Firstly I want to thank you for putting this skin together, I have dabbled round some of the xml files making some small change (See below) and I thought what I was doing took time - To build the whole thing to the standard you have must have taken months - Kudos.

So, I have make a couple of changes I wanted to share with you to see if you could improve on or add to the build for the benefit of others. The first is in the icon view, I wanted to see more than two rows - In fact just 0.3 additional rows to show that there was still another page of movies to scroll though - I don't know if this would need tweeking any more to work for other media types (I use XBMC mainly for movies currently, so didnt test for music / addons / pics / tv shows). Anyway here's what it looks like:



Second is a bit more complicated, and has a lot more room for improvement - Movie sets.

I use the media info 2 view for my movie list, so I have a big list down the right and a nice poster & movie description to the left. Looks amazing, but then I have a lot of movies in sets, and I don't like the way XMBC only offers up the first poster from the set. So I found the moviesets script and did some tinkering:







Its pretty basic, and sometimes doesn't look right if there's a lot of black in the poster (ends up looking like a weird shape), and I don't know how it could be incorporated into other views - Like I said, I use the media info 2 view exclusively for the main list of movies. I just thought I would share with you what I had done, to see if it was something that interested you enough to try in the main build. I suppose on top of just showing up to 6 posters from the set, there could also be a watched count, set start date (earliest movie year) and average rating. i might try to finish it off one day, but if you already had plans to build sets in somehow, I wont waste my time (Or I can help...I don't know how much help I can be, but I'm willing to give something back to the community...)

Anyway, like I said, great job, really impressed with the quality of your work, and would love to hear some feedback on my suggestions.

Take care

Could you do something with "Music Videos" like "Home media shelf" with box art of the dvd's and when you "open" it directly to "title" ?
