Works with all movie views, the only problem I've run into so far is it doesn't work for landscape logo in TV shows:



This problem only crops up at show level, season and episode are as they were. Can this be tweaked, to show different ratings flag for landscape tv and landscape movies?

add <visible>Container.Content(movies)</visible> to that image control and create another one with <visible>!Container.Content(movies)</visible>

...and another string to our bow: Next Aired Widget (will be polished)

we´re now at 33 different widget contents to choose from

However, the duplicates don't show any thumbnails. This only happens in Landscape view and only with "Fixed list" set to "No", so I assume this has to do with the looping of the thumbnails. Strangely, this doesn't seem to happen for all my TV shows, but for most of them. Also, if I change to "List" view for example and then switch back, the looping is fixed, but if I come back to the menu later again the same problem is back.

I can't reproduce the landscape problem.

As for this issue, what can I do to help with the troubleshooting? Debug logs/screenshots/video? It's a real shame currently, because I'm so happy with it other than this issue

post it in general xbmc section together with debug log, screenshot and ad detailed description of the problem.

Thanks Phil, that worked. I didn't realize the passion repo was behind the actual git source.

How does Extrafanart work exactly in the skin? I mean is all the extrafanart being cached in locally, like regular fanart and posters? I ask, because I have a huge collection and XBMC hangs/freezes constantly when browsing through library. I tried disabling extrafanart and freezes stopped. Hence the question: does extrafanart work in the way, that the skin checks the selected movie's or tvshow's directoy for extrafanart while browsing? I mean, that would be the problem, as all of the hard drives on my server are spun-down, when not in use. I want them to spin-up ONLY when I'm watching something from them, not browsing through library.
Me loves the extrafanart, would hate to not be able to use it.

PS. love the skin, awesome job, guys.

I believe Extrafanart downloads images you select to wherever you store your collection. Idk why extrafanart would freeze up, but use Artwork Downloader instead as Extrafanart is no longer being worked on

But take a look at the blog for improved image cache in XBMC 12

You can read more on the blog, but it means if you download the latest nightly, you shouldn't have any hangups since 12 won't have to recache all the images, as 11 does. But I'm sure someone else here can explain it better

Correction:

Extrafanart needs to be in each movie folder on your drive an no where else.
Yes your drives will spin up. No you can't do anything about that IF you want extrafanart.
XBMC pre-Frode 12 won't make any difference on that matter IIRC

I use EmberMediaManager for movies and SickBeard for TV. I have to do a lot by hand, because SB and EMM both have their shortcomings and don't support everything that XBMC now does. But I do all this "prep" before scanning to the XBMC library. All my movies and TV Shows have all supported metadata files in the appropriate folders.
I just recently noticed, that Artwork Downloader now supports alot more stuff, than the last time checked. It is very good with auto downloading, but I like to control, what art I get and keep.

I was asking about internal workings of the skin and HOW does it handle extrafanart. Does it cache it locally or not. I have a server running 24/7 and 3 htpcs being served by it. The drives on the server are spun-down when not in use to save electricity.

Maybe, if I could ask someone in the know-how: could someone please explain if/when/why XBMC does access hard drives when browsing through library?

Yep, read that when it came out, very exiting.

everytime a skin tries to display either logo, clearart, extrafanart, disc art or other stuff which isn´t implemented into xbmc´s caching system.
and since we make A LOT of use of those images the answer is: Always
