You do need to make sure you've added the source to the library on the left slide window on Music page.
(I was confused because the settings mentions Seasons/Unplayed&Unfinished/etc, so I thought it was for TV Shows)
And is 'Service.Skin.Widgets' 'Recommended' connected to the Music 'Suggested Albums' Widget?
Regardless, can you please rename it per the correct function like you mentioned, from 'Suggested Albums' to 'Most Played' ?
Thank you

Done + Top 100 Songs & Compilations
Can you add the special Music Search too please? I noticed that if I add it via Favourites, and then as SubMenu Item, it only brings up the Search List, but it doesnt overlay the keyboard. Probably you have some magic to fix this

- Installing the 'Slideshow' Screensaver AddOn - this enabled a FanArt Screensaver + Now Playing Info if playing music.
No need for me to download any further Artwork with a different AddOn.
PERFECT
happy chappy now 
Thank youEDIT: What do you think about having the "Album Art Background Wall" dimmed, so that the now playing data is more visible above it?

quick question, are all the skin settings in the 1 file guisettings.xml?
my bloody android box keeps losing all my skin settings and putting me back to confluence. i just want to make sure that my attempt at recovery is correct. i should just copy my original backed up guisettings.xml over the new blank one?
because thats what im doing and it seems to work great until i reboot.
The MOD only uses "guisettings.xml" for it's settings. However if your box is giving problems it may be an idea to keep a copy of the whole "userdata" folder - Can get big !!!

I don't know if this is already possible, but it will be good if we can have only the episodes that we need to watch. In other words, having the first unwatched episodes, but only of the shows that are in progress.
Have you tries "Suggested Episodes" ?

- If I have Enable On Screen Volume Buttons switched ON, I see the Volume slider at top right

Is this a bug, or do I have something misconfigured?
No I changed something & it stopped working
will put it back to how it used to be.

Mainly when to return from Screensaver back to xbmc. Often there is a ghost image of the screensaver, and a hang, and sometimes it doesn't unhang, resulting in xbmc locking up and needing to be shutdown.
RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - cjulio - 2013-08-07
I have just now instaled this and it is great, the best skin. Thanks..
I was trying to find a way to set the photo location to a folder just like on videos in main menu. but cant find it, is there any way to do this?
Is thee a way to set the menu to use vertical mode?
Thanks.
RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - jmh2002 - 2013-08-07
There is no vertical menu in this skin
Regarding the photos, I dont use it myself, but I just tried adding 'Pictures' to the home menu. Thereafter clicking on Pictures gives me a window with 'Picture AddOns' and 'Add Source' - so here you can add a source (folder) just like with Videos.
Is this what you mean?

RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - Mudislander - 2013-08-07
just to clear up a few issues that have been asked over some of the settings in this MOD.
service.skin.widgets is an important script that gets installed automatically with the MOD, but still should be configured by the user.
It supplies the widgets for Music, Movies and TVShows the information they require eg Recent, Random and Recommended - which in the MOD are listed as Suggested.
Random & Recent are self explanatory but Suggested shows for Albums the most played, for Movies any In Progress Movies & for TVShows the next unwatched Episode.
Also running off the script are the new "Suggested" windows, in exactly the same manor as the widget, but showing up to 20 items.
The following items also run off the script in their default states eg in a new install.
Rotating backgrounds for Movies, TVShows and Music. This is due to the change in Frodo from Eden and is a way to keep a rotating background. However this is changed once a user enters the paths for Fanart in the skin settings under "Scripts and Paths"
The script also runs the default music background of a couple of CD covers lying around. So changing the "Random" setting in the script will also change this.
Another music related option run by this script is the "Album Wall" so will also be changed by the scripts "Random" setting. However once you add the path for "Album Thumbnails" the wall will use your path instead, with a much higher turn around of images shown. Actually may be a problem for low spec machines & I'll probably remove it for the "Minimum Spec" toggle
RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - jmh2002 - 2013-08-07
A few things:
- The Duplicate Movie Year is now back for me, so I have left it on the Summary.
The new 'Suggested' Tab (or SubMenu items) are pretty cool, especially for TV Show Episodes it seems very intelligent. Its like an even more filtered version of 'In Progress' simply suggesting the next unwatched episode from each of my In Progress TV Shows. Neat!
And it seems to be listing the Episodes in the order of whichever series has been most recently watched - double Neat!
- But, what are the conditions for this list to be updated? I watched a show, mark it as watched, went back to the Suggested List, but it hadn't changed yet?
Also in addition to the conflict that I added to the Summary, I also noticed that using CCM and 'Slideshow' Screensaver AddOn and having a Video Paused resulted in a crash on my aTV when the screensaver started. Not sure if this Skin related, or simply not enough resources on the aTV to do everything.
I have Enabled Settings > Appearance > Screensaver > Use Dim if Paused during Video Playback, to avoid this problem for the moment.

But my 'UnWatched' list from your Menu items is correctly populated.

RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - Mudislander - 2013-08-07
This date is being a pain in the backside, because it now works for me.
is it possible to get a screenshot of your problem, because the logic behind the code is -
1. Check we're playing a Movie
2. Get the Movie name from the video player
3. Check that the Info in the video player contains a date.
4. Check if the date appears anywhere in the name of the movie.
5. If yes then do nothing as name has date.
6. If no then append date in brackets to end of movie name.

It comes, eventually. Actually seems more accurate when you actually watch the episode, not just mark it watched. ATM I've forgotten the actual frequency, Martijn will know or it may be buried in the forum here
