There should be a number of views for Adv.Launcher. I will be adding the info wall view as a view for add-ons, I'm just in the middle of making some changes to other parts of the skin so I can't commit it yet -- but it should be in soon.

Is there a setting I'm missing?

By server/client do you mean that your media files are centralised on a server then shared via a network protocol such as samba? Or does your server also share the actual library database?

Either way, check that you have the extended info script installed on your client machine -- https://github.com/phil65/script.extendedinfo

The extended info script is what makes set info accessible to the skin.
- If you have it installed and your xbmc library database files are shared then my guess would be that the extended info script doesn't play nicely with remote database files.
- If its only media files that are shared and the client pc has its own library database then my guess would be an issue with the way the movie info scraper is set up on that machine (i.e. its not grabbing the set info to begin with).

If it is one of those, then no I can't really do it because a lot of people wont have their rom collection artwork set up that way.

Are you using Gotham by any chance? It wont work with Gotham currently because the names of videodb nodes have changed in Gotham and I haven't updated them in the skin yet (and won't be doing so until there is a feature freeze and a beta out). Otherwise, I'm not really sure what the issue could be -- its definitely working for me... In the words of the IT Crowd: 'have you tried turning it off and on again'

Banner and Info Wall will be making an appearance in 0.4.0 sometime this week.

Can the text limit be increased so we can see the full text, or the font size reduced slightly to allow this to display correctly (I think having this font similar to the size etc of the "date" font below the clock would work) or anything you think you look right.

However, you can add more than 6 different types. One of the types is called 'Title'.

1. More views for both are planned. I'll have to set up some test folders with folder.jpg inside them...

2. Ah I see. This will be fixed in 0.4.0 (probably will be up today or tomorrow, there is just some other code I'm working on that needs to be finished before I commit it to git or else it will break everything...) I'm surprised that you do not have at least a thumbnail for the video: I'm guessing you must have "Settings > Videos > File lists > Extract thumbnails and video information" disabled because I had nothing in my library without at-least a video thumb (so I had to set the icon manually to see how low-res it was).

3. Its because of a recent fix I made for a separate bug of movie info showing on the homescreen if you press the home button on a remote when the movie info is open. Will be fixed in 0.4.0

4. Will be fixed in 0.4.0

Ah I see. Can you provide me a link to some info on adding these additional artwork types? I can't see any way to add them via the RCB settings gui.

Plexbmc support will come one day, but there's still a lot for me to do before I get to that stage. I see what you are saying about auto-deletion, but I'm not really comfortable adding a feature like that unless it is actually built into xbmc rather than a 3rd party script. I'd just rather not have to deal with a bunch of people accidentally deleting their videos then coming on here and complaining about it.

This is very strange. So is it not showing any information at all? And you say it is working in Aeon Nox? Can you tell me exactly what view in Aeon Nox you are using so that I can look at the code (and perhaps a screenshot comparing Arctic to Aeon Nox).

1. What is this from? It certainly isn't a built-in xbmc info label. Can you provide me a link to some more info on this?
2. Its not currently possible. xbmc only provides an info label for the next scheduled timer.
