Night 2 (for Eden)

Hi there, greetings from Spain.

Thank you Balinus for offer your support in this gorgeous skin. It was one of my favourites before upgrade to Eden.
I had made some minor changes in order to use all the items (movies, music....) in file mode, just only editing the home.xlm file.

Maybe you can help me....

Is there a way to set the poster view to poster fixed view?

Which code do I need to modify in posterview.xlm?

Thanks in advanced

I'm using XP. I'll reboot to check. It did seem a weird one.

Update: I rebooted and still the same. Further, it doesn't matter what node I enter, when I back out with the backspace button it always selects the TVSHows button as the default focus. Is this set somewhere? If it is, can you tell me how I can set a default focus on a Wraplist? I want certain submenus to always default to the same button. Thx.

I'm not sure you can set a default position in a given list. XBMC should remember your last position. Which doesn't seem the case in your setup though!. The command in Night, when you click on Movies is :


This bit of code is compatible with Eden, but it's not Eden "standard". I have to change this code, but the behavior should be the same with the new code. You can try modifying it by replacing the following code in Includes.xml :

Maybe that will change your bug, but I doubt it.

For your playlist matter...there's an option in Night where you can add custom playlist to the Home Menu. That would be the closest thing for your taste imo.

Well, by looking at the code of the Poster View (Viewtype_Poster.xml), it is already a "fixedlist". On my computer, the focused position is fixed. So, maybe I didn't understood correctly your question..?

Good luck in the finals...against Germany?

Sorry, my fault. I was talking about slide view. Is there a way to set it fixed like poster view?

Which line do I need to modify in viewtype_slide-xlm?

Thanks

I'll have a suss and see what I can do. I have to try it on my Linux-based ION yet. Does seem weird. Thx.

You could change this line

to :


It doesn't change much the behavior though, as fixedlist and wraplist are very similar.

Is anyone else having a problem with this skin where it doesn't play movies where the file has punctuation in it?

Eg "movie, the.mkv"

This seems to only happen for me when using this skin, but works for other skins

As a rule of thumb, don't name any file on a computer with these kind of characters. Some OS doesn't support them.

However, with that being said, I tested a file name "L'Auberge, Espagnole.2002.mkv" and it worked in Night.

What OS and do you use a network share or are the file stored locally?

Thanks Balinus,
I half figured it was a problem only with my setup. I'm running Windows 7 pro with EventGhost shell and xbmc Eden.
Media files are stored locally on the computer (and shared on the network for other devices).
My UserData folder is actually quite old, so I'll wipe that and re-build to see if that fixes the issue.

Humm, well W7 should handle these kind of file name. Though, if your userdata folder dates back from an earlier XBMC version, that might be a good idea to rebuild it. Not sure it will cure your problem though.

Sorry if I'm being stupid here but is there any way to enable the Showcase view for TV Shows?
