Hey guys,

First off, love the tasty skin!!

Secondly, I'd like to find out how to tweak the skin so that the library updates do not appear while watching a video. My media library is scraped over the network and sometimes it does take a while to finish scanning for new media. I do understand that I can hide the entire thing but I do like to see that it completes so that I can check for the new shows in the library. Is there something I can do to hide that window while playing a flick?

Open DialogVideoScan.xml

Try putting this at line 13:

Quote:<visible>!Window.IsActive(2006) + !VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen</visible>

If didn't work you might need to wrap all the code into a <group> then put that above line in...If need further explanation just ask.

Thanks for the quick response mcborzu! You're right though, seems that additional line wasn't enough so I had to enclose the whole thing into a group. For the sake of others who may want an expanded explanation, open .../addons/skin.back-row/PAL16x9/DialogVideoScan.xml and add the following lines in the indicated [row#]

Code:
[i][13][/i]  <control type="group">
[i][14][/i]  <visible>!Window.IsActive(2006) + !VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen</visible>
...
[i][79][/i]  </control>

Thanks again for the help!

Big thanks Mcborzu for the quick answer! Smile That's what i love about the XBMC community, is how close the skinner's can be with each other as a 2nd family. Great work on your skin BTW!! Looks very nice.

Yep gotta agree!

mcborzu - thanks buddy.

This seems a nice tweak - I'll add it to the skin.

Cheers funbubba for bringing it up.
