@robertlaing , this is an excellent catch, thank you! I think I have fixed the syntax error, the changes are already on GitHub.  Could you please give it a try and let me know? Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

I am not sure if this is causing the delay I describe, but maybe you could take a look?

(2022-01-28, 01:28)robertlaing Wrote: I changed this as follows:

1. Skin settings.
2. Home layout.
3. Customise Home Menu And Shelves.
4. Movies.
5. Customise Sub Menu.
6. Update Library.
7. Set Label - this is where I changed it. I just clicked on it and a keyboard appears, and I just change the lower case l to an upper case L.

Hope this helps!

(2022-01-28, 21:15)bsoriano Wrote: @robertlaing , thank you for the steps.  Yes, this will happen, because the default label (Update library, this string comes from Kodi) is a variable in the skin, which changes from Update library to Stop scanning when the library is being scanned.  When you changed the label, it was no longer this variable.

I understand your need for grammatical correctness.  So, what I have done is to create new "Update Library" and "Stop Scanning" strings in the skin, to use for the submenu item.  What you will need to do is go back to the menu configuration dialog, and change the label to "$VAR[ScanningLabel]", without the ".  This will make the label be the variable again.  Don't worry, the label will not be shown as $VAR[ScanningLabel] in your system.

The changes are already on GitHub.  Please test and let me know.  Thanks.

Hi Bart,

Absolutely perfect!! It works a treat!!
Thank you so much, I am very appreciative for this!!

I have also just added the submenu category for watched episodes for tv shows.
This also works great.

As ever, thank you very much for all your hard work.

Kind regards,
Robert.

User @Cyberdom commented that the PVR channels window loads slower now the Amber allows you to change viewtypes in that window, and if I could do something about that.

The window does indeed load significantly slower if you have all viewtypes enabled.  so, I have made optional the ability to change viewtypes in that window.  There is a new setting, which is off by default:



If you want to be able to change viewtypes in that window, you need to set the new setting to Yes.  With the setting set to No, the PVR channels window loads very quickly.

I hope you can figure it out Bart

(2022-01-28, 22:26)bsoriano Wrote: EDIT: @robertlaing , I have added the separate variables.  Unfortunately, the only way I could get the labels to show up correctly was starting from scratch with the menu/submenu/widget configuration.  You can do that by quitting Kodi, and removing the "script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml" file from the skin's 1080i folder, and removing any file that has "amber" in the filename, from the <userdata>\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts folder.

Alternatively, you could try to change the label of the video/movies/tv shows update library submenu item to "$VAR[VideoScanLabelVar]" and the label for the music update library submenu item to "$VAR[MusicScanLabelVar]".  I have not tested this method, but it should work.

Please test and let me know.  Thanks.

@Joeyrub , sorry about the inconvenience.  I missed something with Low List when using the alternate list layout.  I just fixed this on GitHub.  Please test and let me know.  Thanks.
