Yep, as a default it will run off the "random" option in 'Service.Skin.Widgets - so what ever settings are there for random.

Once or if you enter the path for "Album Thumbnails" it uses that directory instead and random thumbnails are changing constantly ignoring Service.Skin.Widgets

Nope

Haven't looked at it in a long time but Confluence Lite Mod does - if you can find it, although it'll be prehistoric compared to this MOD.

Is it possible to get a screenshot of your problem

Sure, here are examples from 1.3.0 and 1.3.1. Also, strangely, I seem to have lost my coverart... Huh

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.

A while back I had to re-do some code for "SlideShow Screensaver" as the MOD wasn't gaining focus properly on returning. There's not much more I can do to the MOD for that problem, but it may be worthwhile wading through the screensavers forum to see if it's issues have all been fixed.

Cheers, I didn't realise that the brackets were duplicated also. Will have another look (Again)

Ah yes, I just checked and confirmed that Nod Before I must have enabled Random and entered the path at the same time, leading to confusion on my part... Apologies Blush

Either way it gives an option to have a good wall displayed without the need to download extra Artwork. This is great, since all the Artwork is in fact already there.

Ok thanks Smile Ill remove it from the summary if its not a skin issue.

I also noted these 2 items, maybe you have some thoughts:
- Music Search now displays keyboard but is using 'generic search' not the special 'Music Search'
- Ability to Dim the "Album Art Background Wall", so that the now playing data is more visible above it.

And if any of the items on the "* REQUESTS OUTSTANDING (approved, but no time frame yet)" list have fallen out of favour (or are already done in a previous update), let me know and Ill either delete them or move them back to the "* NEW REQUESTS (pending approval by Mudislander)" portion.

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? Smile


I have already added Pictures menu and i know how it work Smile

But in my case all pictures go to one singe directory and you have one option in videos to show one directory directly from main menu i was looking for something like that but for pictures so that when i chose pictures i am open my pictures directory and not 'Picture AddOns' and 'Add Source', etc..

Also in video mode (without libary not movies or tv series) file view is there any way to set the display mode equal to the ones existing in movies.

Once again thanks and sorry for my english...


RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - jmh2002 - 2013-08-07

Once you have added your Pictures source, can you then use the context Menu to add the folder to Favourites (you can with video sources) ?

If so, you can then add that Favourite item as the Home Screen 'Pictures' and it should take you directly to the folder Smile
(the same as you would when building any Home Menu or SubMenu - and you can delete it from favourites once you have everything set up)

You could then also add the normal default Pictures as a SubMenu, if you still need access to the Add Source/AddOns menu.
Or perhaps also add different Picture Sub Folders to the SubMenu, if you access them regularly.

Maybe there is a better way, but I think this should work.

EDIT: yes, this method worked for me Smile


RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - cjulio - 2013-08-07

yes you are right i can add pictures directory using favorites in the menu, thanks...


now i am only missing a way to show videos in file mode using libary layouts ex: poster wrap, full wall, etc


RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - Mudislander - 2013-08-07

Those views are for the library as that contains the info they require where as files mode does not, so no you can't have library views for file mode.


RE: CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod - cjulio - 2013-08-07

yes the views contains the info i was looking for somethink like the libary ones but without the movie detais, imdb, etc... only with filename and the thumbnail (in my case i am using tbn files i make).

thanks..

Every time I start on the list, something comes up Smile

Music search using script.global.search has been added as a menu option - way down with the music stuff.

I'll look at the "Dim" Music album wall, just need to check it on my projector as a lot of things are quite dark already.

Year in video player title will again be looked at.

I've started the Fanart view with ClearArt" option twice now, but have deleted both times Smile It's still a go & we'll get there.

Re titles in WideList view, it's still on the cards - haven't check to see what it looks like yet. Problem would be the content panels in the way

Ability to change colur of Addon names. I actually thought that was a option to not show them, which has been done. To be honest not sure if we should add the overheads required to change text colour. That's where Hybrid got bogged down & sluggish.

Re the select action with the widgets. Pretty sure it's not possible, unless someone has seen it elsewhere.

The "In Progress Movies" option is a standard XBMC node, if it's giving problems I'd think the problem is not within the MOD - Could be mistaken Wink

Improvement in the background showing for a moment, this is dependent on machine specs & other variables in loading the media to play etc. Not too much I can do. Obviously will always looking for better ways to do things.

Trailer button, I have a few issues. If implemented as in Hybrid, then it does not work in Panel type views. Another way would be to add it into the context menu, which is already large & you'd only save 1 click as there is a trailer button in Video Info.

EPG Mod, I'd like to do, but without LiveTV on my system it's difficult. Bit of a wait I'm afraid as have to wait a few months for cable contract to finish and I can get back to satellite which my system uses.

Weather widget I'm still trying to find out if there is a way around having to go into the weather window first. My be better for the moment to revert how I did have them originally in that clicking on the weather widget opened the weather window ?

You could still add everything to the library using your tbn file and editing the nfo files to your liking

Yes, I see it, after "Music - Clean Library". But maybe I didnt explain properly Blush As you said, Music Search now uses script.global.search, ie: the same one that is available from the search next to the home screen stats.

However, the Music Search that is available from the Music Files/Menu, or from the left hand Tab when in a Music list, is a special search that returns different and more detailed results. I guess it uses a different Script? Wiki:http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Music/Audio#Side_bar 4: Searching your Library "Artists and Albums are shown on top, followed by matching songs. "

So previously, when I added this special Music Search to a SubMenu via Favourites, it would only bring up the previous search list, not the keyboard to do a new search.

Ok, my apologies, I thought this was something made by you Smile In what thread should I post about this? Is it some sort of script, or widget, or?
