Your itemlayout and focusedlayout arent displaying anything, because you have no Texture tag on them. it shoudl be like this;

Code:
<focusedlayout height="144" width="144">

      <control type="image">

                        <left>0</left>

                        <top>0</top>

                        <width>142</width>

                        <height>142</height>

                         <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</texture>

                         <bordertexture border="5">folder-focus.png</bordertexture>

                        <bordersize>5</bordersize>

                        <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>

         </control>

</focusedlayout>

The content tag you used is also showing to nowhere.

The content tag should point to the desired folder so basically;

<content>C:\Music\Jazz </content>

But since you want to make this dynamic, you write

<content>$INFO[Container.FolderPath]$INFO[ListItem.Label,\] </content>

$INFO[Container.FolderPath] = C:\Music
$INFO[ListItem.Label,\] = \Jazz

P.S. I just tried it and it works

the content tag is oustide the panel control, it should be in it, directly after </focusedlayout>

Argh! knew it was something stupid. All working - thanks again Smile

Anyone get the visible node working?

I'm using this but only the first content is visible even though the condition changes -

PHP Code:

Nope, tested it. Doesn't work for me, too.

The node target_url also doesn't work for me:

PHP Code:
<content target_url="ActivateWindow(Music,special://skin/playlists/songs/random.xsp,return)">special://skin/playlists/songs/random.xsp</content>
It still plays the selected song, but it should open the playlist window.

So am I doing it wrong or is it broken?

Jonathan?

**sualfred** · 2014-07-29, 08:23

As far as I understood him correctly, there is no visible/target_url attribute available.

I think you have to switch to <include condition="foo"> or use variables instead.

Neither. It's not and never was implemented, that's all.

node:target_url and node:visible is for a single item, not the whole content. So it's just for plugins because they construct the listitems and can specify a target_url and visible condition for each item.

Your example should be possible with variables instead:

PHP Code:
<variable name="ContentTarget">
    <value condition="StringCompare(Container(5000).Label,Recent Albums)">music</value>
    <value>video</value>
</variable>

<variable name="Content">
    <value condition="StringCompare(Container(5000).Label,Recent Albums)">plugin://service.library.data.provider?type=recentalbums&amp;reload=$INFO[Window.Property(recentalbums)]&amp;limit=5</value>
    <value>plugin://service.library.data.provider?type=recentmovies&amp;reload=$INFO[Window.Property(recentmovies)]&amp;limit=5</value>
</variable>

<content target="$VAR[ContentTarget]">$VAR[Content]</content> 

**Hitcher** · 2014-07-29, 21:57

I was using something similar before but albums weren't playing so I thought it wasn't working properly but have since figured out this is a problem with library.data.provider.

Thanks.

I am trying to add a widget to he home screen where favourites are displayed: using this <content>favourites://</content> displays all the favourites perfectly fine. But when clickin on an element no action is performed. Since Favourites can be movies , tv shows, songs, albums, folders, addons .... basically anything.Which target does one have to use?

Anybody has any hints on this?

I can get it to pull the favourites by using <content>favourites://</content> but if I try something like <content>favourites://GameCube</content> it just returns the favourites again.

Is this even possible to do or would I need the link to the directory itself (which is very long and cumbersome)? I'd like to use the favourite if possible because that way the user could change it depending on their setup.

I am able to display all favourites without a problem. The following works fine <content>favourites://</content> .

BUT, clicking on favourite doesnt work, so my question is what should I do , in order for the click behaviour to work properly.

I assume something with the target, BUT which target is appropiate,? (favourites can be anything, so putting target= video or target= music doesnt seem right)

**`Black** · 2014-07-30, 00:25

It's not possible at the moment.

Hi everyone.

I use content static for plugin of categories VIDEO. And get error below:

PHP Code:
ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting 

I use:

PHP Code:
<variable name="Name_Category">
        <value  condition="Container.Content(Episodes) + Control.IsVisible(650)">plugin://categorryepisodes</value>
        <value  condition="Container.Content(TVShows) + Control.IsVisible(650)">plugin://categorrytvshow</value>
        <value  condition="Container.Content(Movies) + Control.IsVisible(650)">plugin://categorrymovie</value>
        <value></value>
</variable>

<content target="Videos">$VAR[Name_Category]</content> 

Examle: I click on control static, from content Episodes window to content Movies window. It still pass to window, but It has a error.

PHP Code:
01 T:1996  NOTICE: Thread BackgroundLoader start, auto delete: false
54:01 T:3132  NOTICE: Thread LanguageInvoker start, auto delete: false
