nice job cf2009,

jballard, are the movies with no thumb stacked or on a share with username password protected.

I get no thumbs when there are none saved or scraped and XBMC creates it's own, so I assume these labelled differently.

Here's version 2 of the mod use the same procedure as before but use the new files below, if you already have version 1 installed just replace with the new files.

It now has Music too.

Thanks, I will re-post there.

I think that may be it. The movies missing thumbs contain stacked files and the ones with thumbs do not. Though I do not know how to fix that.
Hitcher Wrote:I get no thumbs when there are none saved or scraped and XBMC creates it's own, so I assume these labelled differently.
As far as I know these are labeled in the same manner as the ones that are working. For all of the movies I have .nfo files and poster images in the folder with the movie, and all were created with Ember Media Manager so I think they should be fairly uniform, and since they already exist I wouldn't think that there would be any problems with xbmc needing to scrape them separately.

For TV shows I think that I have it figured out; it just needs to have the tbn file saved with the video. If xbmc needs to scrape for it, then it doesn't show.

The strange thing is that everything shows fine in multiplex view for both movies and tv.

Would it not look better if all the 'recently added' stuff was displayed at the very bottom, below the menu scrollbar? Huh

That way one would at least get to see the top of the FanArt Wink

I agree...that way the recent icons won't be covering as much vital fanart real estate.

And then we've got to move the Now Playing item. Wink

i acutally prefer them on top, the only thing i wish is for them to fade out after a while, and then everytime you get back to movies or music it will show up again and then fade out after a while and so on.

You can add an fade animation to the includes_latest_added file, like this:
for movies: (if you focus the latest added dialog, it pops up again)
Code:
<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" delay="15000" time="400" condition="Container(300).HasFocus(6) + !Control.HasFocus(510)">Conditional</animation>
for episodes:
Code:
<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" delay="15000" time="400" condition="Container(300).HasFocus(7) + !Control.HasFocus(510)">Conditional</animation>

after:

Code:
<animation effect="slide" start="0,-20" end="0,-20" time="0" condition="!Skin.HasSetting(highertime)">Conditional</animation>
<animation effect="zoom" start="100" end="90" time="200" center="640,80" condition="Player.HasAudio + Skin.HasSetting(lowermainmenu)">Conditional</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="500">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="200">WindowClose</animation>

<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" delay="1500" time="400">Visible</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="200">Hidden</animation>

delay is the time after the fade begins in ms (5000 = 5 secounds)

thanks a lot - exactly what i wanted Smile

Am I the only one who thinks it would be cool to sort it both by most recently added and unwatched? I only care about the movies/tv shows that I haven't watched. Having said that, I'm no python expert. No

I have a problem with that, if i press up, on focus pictures or other mainmenubutton without latest added, the mainmenu unfocused, sometimes xbmc crashs.
I test it with unvisible buttons like submenu, but it doesn't work.

I dont get any Thumbs for my movies and tv shows, even after deleting my database and thumbnail folders. Movies are being scraped with Ember Media Manager and are stored in single Folders for every movie, so they have their own nfo and boxart and fanart stored in their respective folders.
tv shows are being scraped in xbmc itself.

i dont know what to do...
