here is the final version. native support would be better.

http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/pa...lyAdded.py

you can call the script with params. all params are optional

eg

Code:

<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://home/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=3&amp;albums=$INFO[Skin.HasSetting(showalbums)]&amp;partial=$INFO[Skin.HasSetting(showpartialviewed)])</onfocus>

limit = the number of items to set(default=5)

albums = True to display the most recent music albums(default = show most recent songs)

partial = show the videos that have not been finished, but have started

*albums, the path is still set to an individual song as i don't know how to make PlayMedia play an album

**partial, PlayMedia does not support resume, so the video will start from the beginning

skinners you can have settings for these as shown in my example. the setting must be True when selected.

SO I save RecentlyAdded.py in my scripts folder (C:/Users/Name/AppData/Roaming/XBMC/Scripts) and then where do I place the
<onfocus> code?
I tried in Home but that doesn't seem to work.

Sorry for the probably quite easy questions, but I'm trying to learn.
Thankyou

I couldn't work out where to place the code either, so I made an autoexec.ph file that runs the script on start up.

You can find out how to do that here.

Once I've got my MediaStream mod to function properly then I'll readdress the script to make it run more dynamically.

Sorry for the offtopic but Jezz_X, I saw in your screenshot a little arrow under the "watch your videos". Where does it come from? Eek

Its just a marker in my version of Mediastream that tells me / people that anything with that icon has a hidden sub menu off in that direction
