[RELEASE] RecentlyAdded Script (RecentlyAdded.py) Recently Added for Skins / Skinners

I will try that when I have a chance and get back to the forum

i have had this problem a few times. I just replace the recentlyadded.py file in the skins script folder with a fresh one and it fixes the problem for me. iv had to do this 3 times now. it works fine one day. then the next it fails on every boot. so i delete and replace the .py file. and it boots up fine next time. for some reason it gets corrupted. dont know if its my xbox or if the weather plugin has a effect on boot. iv dissabled the weather plugin and am going to monitor for now. i'll keep you posted

PS. I never had to rebuild my library to fix this problem. however i do occasionally rebuild my library for maximum compatability with SVN release's.

Is it possible to have "LatestEpisode.#.Thumb" grab a TV show's Season thumb instead of the episode screenshot thumb? Is this a change that would have to be made in the skin or the script?

As I'd posted before the forum db corruption, the view tvshowview doesn't exist in the db anymore since svn r28114.
You should update the queries in RecentlyAdded.py that use that view.

If anybody is interested, I already modified the script not to use tvshowview.
Here is the link to download the updated version:
RecentlyAdded.py

Is there any way to show the items added only in the last "x" number of hours? Sort of a "New for today" type thing. I have a feeling that it isn't because I seem to remember someone saying the DB doesn't have a date / time added field?

thanks charrua, most skinners have there own copy now, so i'll just leave your link here for them.

i've made other changes, i'm not sure anybody wants.

if a developer reads this. i notice calling executehttpapi() from a plugin, there is a 1.5 second delay. running the same call from scripts window take .02 seconds. 2/100ths. i can supply a test script if you want.

Thank you Nuka, you did all the hard work. I've just made a minor change.
I took the liberty to place the download link in my previous post, because I was asked to by one of the skinners, but if you prefer just replace it with your own.

Does latestEpisode.1.Fanart work for anyone?

Nuka1195, have you found anything about this delay problem? I found the RecentlyAdded script is very slow on recent svn builds (before the addon merge) and I can see slowly updating movies and tvshows on the home screen

Also, I'm sure others have found out, the script does not work in current svn as xbmc complains of it not being a addon and not finding it....

I have one profile for me and one for my kids. whenever i update the library, the recentlyadded script adds my kids movies too.

going into recentlyadded through movies>recently added is fine. Its only the script on the homepage.
