ppic Wrote:ho ok !!!

so hitcher, you want random=True if not specified in parameter ?
so still allow to pass random=False if you don't want random

As it's for random items only I'd like to remove the need to add anything.

Thanks.

Works perfectly, thanks.

If you have the time do you think you could implement the alarm function that was used in the RecentlyAdded script that would help igotdvds to set a 24 hour check?

Cheers.

Here's the script -

I did have a quick play around earlier but got errors on this part -

PHP Code:

command = "XBMC.RunScript(%s,limit=%d&partial=%s&albums=%s&unplayed=%s&totals=%s&trailer=%s&alarm=%d)" % ( os.path.join( os.getcwd(), __file__ ), self.LIMIT, str( not self.RECENT ), str( self.ALBUMS ), str( self.UNPLAYED ), str( self.TOTALS ), str( self.PLAY_TRAILER ), self.ALARM, )

What would be the correct way to have this run every time you enter home? just thinking people might like it to change every time the enter/exit Home...

As of now I'm running it like so:

Quote:<control type="button" id="8999">
<description>Run Recently added</description>
<posx>-20</posx>
<posy>-20</posy>
<width>1</width>
<height>1</height>
<label>-</label>
<font>-</font>
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.recentlyadded,limit=6)</onfocus>
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.randomitems,limit=10&unplayed=True)</onfocus>
<onfocus>SetFocus(9000)</onfocus>
<texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
<texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
</control>

BTW...very cool script!

It's as simple as removing any visible conditions.

ppic · 2010-09-16 11:36

so no need to modify the script?

I've added the TRUE patch but it might still be good idea to add the timer function, that is if you want to of course.
Like I said, I added all the 'alarm' parts from the recentlyadded script and only had trouble with one line.
