Featured Movie using random items script.

Sky_Stryker · 2011-01-03 05:47

Was not sure whether to post this here or in the forum for the script. But I downloaded the random Items script put it into my addons folder labeled script.randomitems but I get nothing am I missing a step somewhere. I really love this skin I just can't seem to get that script to work for me. I know its a user error so any help would be appreciated. I am using the latest version of dharma and the fusion skin. Thanks...

The script is already included you just need to go to Settings > Fusion > Home Settings > Extras, uncheck "hide recently added"

I am actually getting recently added just not the featured Items on the home page. I did check my settings and it is turned on is there anything else I can check...Thanks for the help.

It only runs at startup right now but I'm sure it'll be added to run on Home soon enough.

Strange, the "Featured Film"/"Featured TV Show" section doesn't seem to be working for me - I just get a blank space where the image should be appearing, eg.

I do have this worrying entry in my ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log:

Code:

01:53:16 T:139924479641600 M:1967947776   ERROR: Python script "script.randomitems" does not exist

even though I do have a script named RandomItems.py installed:

Code:

root ~/.xbmc/addons/skin.fusion/extras/scripts # ls -la

total 40

drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          4096 Jan  7 02:08 .

drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root          4096 Jan  6 02:06 ..

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         11365 Jan  6 02:06 RandomItems.py

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         18086 Jan  6 02:06 RecentlyAdded.py

This is a stock install of the frellAn's MOD - I've selected the Fusion skin, rebooted several times, but nothing ever appears.

Anyone have any ideas? This is on OpenELEC, so Linux based (in case that matters).

Ye, the script should go to \addons\script.randomitems -> folder inside the two .py files

Thanks, your suggestion was enough to give me a clue... I downloaded the randomitems script from here, just copying the RandomItems.py file provided by the Fusion skin into the script.randomitems directory wasn't enough to get it to load, it also needed the addons.xml file which is in Zip file from the authors site.

Now I have Featured Films working, but not TV Shows. And if I use the original RandomItems.py file (not that provided by Fusion), I have TV Shows but not Films... my investigation continues. Smile

Edit: Another couple of reboots and both Featured Films AND Featured TV Shows are working using the original randomitems script, not the one supplied with Fusion skin. Thanks again Japaja for giving me the clues I needed!
