how can we tell if the playlist widgets are hammering the box?

The R-Pi uses an uncommon Broadcom GPU so it would be pretty easy to filter by that, a huge amount of the AndroidTV set top boxes use the Arm Mali 400 GPU (varying from 1-4 cores) so tagging that shouldn't be a problem either.

Plus some of the low end boxes don't always use Android, the Pivos XIOS and The Little Black Box both use linux/xbmc firmwares. There are higher performance GPU's in Android hardware land it's just they haven't yet worked their way down to the AndroidTV box level yet except in rare cases like the Ouya.

This is what the XIOS lists under video

Code:

GPU: Mali-400 MP

Hmmm, no, what I seem to need if I understand correctly is the "Enable Music Visualisation FanArt" option from the Skin (will this show Artist/Album FanArt on the Music FullScreen?), so that I can still have the normal default Screensaver take over after a preset time (black in my case, to preserve the Plasma TV). Im re-reading your post here about Path Settings: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=160184&pid=1453760#pid1453760 but I cant seem to get it to work I must be doing something wrong

Suggested Albums, is slightly mis-named - Should be Most Played Not sure with MySQL, haven't used it since it very first was mentioned. You do need to make sure you've added the source to the library on the left slide window on Music page.

That was a request from a week or two back. It's mainly used for artist fanart eg individual artists on a compilation cd. point it to the parent folder that houses all your music.

Mine is nfs://192.168.0.20/Music/ Under this folder called "Music" on my server I have individual folders for each artist which then holds folders for each of their albums

You need to have a central directory with all the Album Thumbnails in it & also the path "Album Thumbnails" set to it. Use something like script.artwork.organizer by ronie to copy the artwork. Also the AddOn CD Art Manager gets you logos & CD Art

Yep I remember that, actually the same image. Now I'm HiTech and the default image is a bunch of your CD covers splashed on the screen. In other words I lifted Aeon Nox Live CD Background & slightly modified it to use as a music viz background (BTW thanks to Nox)

Artist fanart if enabled moves around the screen if you want.

Plus just checked for you - You need to enable background Fanart. We're going to have to change that one especially for the "Min Spec" setting

Welcome

First question - This MOD only reports what your database says, so you can't reset things like that.
Second Question - Also No.

But you've got me interested, what skin were you using & how or why did you reset the date of a film also why do you want to want to enter info about file sizes & where would you display it.
