We could create views based around browsing artists and being able to see all albums by that artist.

sounds like that:

+1, would love to see this.

Jonathan, in the past there have been talks about XBMC allowing the use of more than one type of content art simultaneously (so posters and banners for instance)
Is that by any chance doable for Eden?

Also, It's not totally clear to me what:

Quote:1.5. Add ability to retrieve listings into static content.

entails.
Would this mean for example being able to create a list and load the user's favourites? Or listing recently added movies separate from the main node?
If so, legendary Wink

One more thing: I see the time display has been shortened in the Eden build that was posted. Is there any chance to incorporate this related one:

Yes.

Will comment on the ticket.

Are you guys still planning to push a 10.1 for that skin update bug that seems to be fixed?

Can I request we get Container.AddonName for Eden please?

**jmarshall** · 2011-03-07 23:53

Mind adding that to the Container.FolderName thread? Basically I want to make it easy on you guys to do your breadcrumb stuff without 102309 conditionals Smile

Cheers,
Jonathan

Arbitrary skin res stuff is in now. Still TODO is altering group controls to allow aspect ratio to be kept etc.

also worth mentioning: the skinning engine was bumped to 3.00
