[MOD] "The Operation" PM3.HD Mod

Here is a link for anyone who wants to try it out. I didn't have time to do everything I want, but I did add flagging support for bluray & dvd. It is supported via filename (ie 300.bluray.mkv or 300.sddvd.iso). I was not able to add the dvd overlay to movie list view, but I figured I would share now. I was going to do audio flagging, but I don't like the methods that are used right now to achieve it and would rather wait till proper support for listitem properties are created. There is support for 40 studios. I will continue to add them in as I get them.

Everyone feel free to offer some suggestions or bugs in it.....hopefully with a solution

I also included my homebackgrounds, twc supplemental for the home page, and my weather art pack. To set up trailers and weather, please just look at home.xml and set the path to wherever you have apple movie trailers and twc. For weather fanart, activate custom backgrounds and set folder as the weather folder.

<onclick>RunScript(f:\apps\XBMC\scripts\TWC Supplemental\default.py)</onclick>

I run from XBOX and use the latest builds. If you do not have a recent build, all feature will not work! ie. some flagging & all library node icons.

Skin

Hi. i love the skin. How do I access all my scripts from the Home Menu? I can't get the trailers or weather to work right. I have checked and double checked the default.py path and still a no go. I am using the 4-04 build.

Everything else looks nice. I would like to see a coverflow view in the TV Shows section too, like the Movies. It would make the TV show fanart look a lot better.

Thanks again nice job.

Which platform are you on?

I use XBOX, so that is what my paths represent. PC can be quiet different.

To get scripts in the main page you need to go into home.xml and look for programs. You could change programs to activate scripts by changing the activate window to scripts. Change the <label> to says Scripts then. In settings put it so programs shows in main menu. That could be your scripts tab. I don't use any scripts besides twc or amt, so I did not do this myself.

Are you referring to coverflow or the dvd view I created with fanart. If it is the dvd view I made, then it is easy also. Go to viewsvideolibrary.xml and change the container content for id57 to include TVShows along with movies..

container.content(Movies) | container.content(TVShows) for the visible.

That should do it. I would have to double check if I restricted anything in myvideonav, but I don't think I did. If that doesn't work check in there to make sure control 57 has TVShows as the container as well. The reason I did it is because I use all wide icons for tv series main banners, so it does not fit the window.

Very nice but i wouldn't work correctly for me using Revision 19213 so i couldn't see it all as i couldn't select any views bar list but the screens look nice.

There was a problem with my current upload. Had an extra <control> in viewsvideolibrary that was preventing it from changing views. It is by the image control for DC studios. I will have a new version uploaded tonight with more media flags.

Or if you want, just correct my extra <control> in that xml and you should be all good. Easy to notice.

You use this on the xbox?

I figured it wasnt working on my xbox correctly because of the size of the skin (62mbs!), so I thought maybe this was geared towards the windows version.
Some of the views werent showing any artwork.

I'll have to give it another try.

I have it working on 2 xbox's and windows. All run seamlessly. I never have an image problem on xbox and all images are 720 or higher. I do have a friend who has an xbox that will get some black screens unless homepage images are scaled down some.

**UPDATE**

Corrected librarymode view errors, from having an extra control when I added a new media flag. I have also added the option to add a Scipts button on the main menu. Changes to settings to reflect this and background selection page. I am not one for scripts, but it seems a lot of people do use them so this feature is now available. I added about 10 more studio flags as well.

Enjoy! Thanks to everyone for their feedback. Please keep it coming because I hate to see PM3.HD lose attention. I still believe it is the most user friendly and best looking skin. Simple MODS from the community can keep it up to date and looking better than ever.

Download .........or still on the first page as well.

Very nice. I know you can click the right thumbstick to access your favorites, but I would like to see a favorites button like on the original PMIII skin down by the power and settings buttons.
