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

Okay, I used to use search that way long time ago. Problem with using it as a selectable option is that you need to send across 2 clicks, which is difficult the way CMM menu system is set up.

Re "In Progress Movies" - I'm going senile Smile The preset menu item "In Progress Movies" is mine. It's a playlist under the extras folder. May need tweaking for your system. Try copying it to your userdata/playlists folder and editing it with the smart playlist editor.


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

Re: Music Search, ok, Ill add it back via Favourites (to at least get the search list, then I can open the tab from left side). Maybe you should delete the Music Search from the Menu Options since its just 'normal search' ?

Re: In Progress Movies, maybe its because my Movies are .strm files? And the playlist isnt accounting for that? What do you think?


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

I'll leave the Music search in as it's setup to only return Music results & works on my system.

Maybe the .strm files are not being marked as in progress properly. In any of the views does a %watched symbol come up for any not completely watched.


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

No, I dont get any percentage watched.

But, a bookmark is created automatically when I stop a file (per normal). So using MySQL I can move to another device and resume playing where I left off. Does In Progress Movies use the bookmarks functionality, or something else?

Also, I saw this in the past, not sure if it is at all relevant or useful (its quite old):
Video Bookmarks Browser http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=104740

EDIT: Im not suggesting anything about having the home screen windows like in that thread, but I thought maybe the "script to fetch the list of video bookmarks from the database" might be useful just to integrate into a normal list type view.

I tried this, and the Playlist is using a very simple rule "In progress = True" (I suppose the parameter 'in progress' is already hard coded into xbmc). And I guess 'In Progress" is not being set in my case. Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be any other rules that might be applicable. There is nothing about bookmarked, or anything like that...

Maybe that is why the guy I mentioned in my last post wrote a script to pull "Bookmarked" from the database.

Mudislander: Thanks for the update; suggested media button is a great idea. One thing I have noticed is that now when "Show video OSD menu" is disabled the option to show info bar at start of videos will not work, even if it's selected!

Also, is there a way to add more than 5 addons to the home menu? I thin here is enough space to add 7 addons shortcuts.

ThanksSmile

Had a quick look, nice idea, but would need to be Frodo compatible ? and in official repo

Hi Joe, if you're up to it a few new graphics like the "suggested" button need to be themed - Only in blue ATM

Hi Mudislander,

I am loving your mod more and more - it makes my home cinema experience just perfect. Please keep up the good work (how can I spend a little money contribution?)

One question: I would like to map the "Suggested Media Button" on home screen to the Blue button of my Harmony 900. Can you tell me how I can open the "Suggested Media" panel? I think it is something like SendClick(XX,YY). I tried out some random numbers but without success...

Code:
<keymap>
    <global>
        <remote>
            <Red>Container.NextViewMode</Red>
            <Green>ToggleWatched</Green>
            <Yellow>SendClick(25,14)</Yellow>
            <Blue> ?????????????????? </Blue>
        </remote>
    </global>
<keymap>

Thank you very much![/code]

Hi jmh2002,

for me it's working perfect again. Beside the file/folder structure, the main difference between our installations is your db being on (external?) MySQL. Can you set up a local standard db for testing? This could help Mudislander for debugging.

@mudislander: have you looked at other skins? Transparency and Aeon Nox also show the year in OSD.

Unfortunately it's not going to be that easy as it depends what content the main menu is on as to which window opens. However to open up the individual windows wherever you are in the MOD try the following

Code:
<Blue>ActivateWindow(2125)</Blue>

for suggested movies or 2124 for TVShows or 2123 for Albums

Thanks for the offer of a donation, but it's not required. The fact that the MOD is getting so popular is enough & makes it worthwhile. Smile

Since you mention Cinema Experience, had a thought - may be fun to include the script.cinema.experience into the suggested movies window. I'll have to experiment.

Glad it's working for someone besides me Big Grin

Actually I don't even have a copy of Nox on any of my systems, got an older copy of T! and have just had a quick look didn't see the code for anything adjusted just showing the normal title.

That's because T! (at least 5.0.9) shows the year next to the studio and not in the title.

This problem initially arose after a Skin update several versions ago, so I don't think it is MySQL related. IIRC Mudislander acknowledged at the time that he had made some changes in that area.


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

@Mudislander: Because I have multiple devices and MySQL Im trying to share a few other items like Favourites and Playlists with Path Substitution, per: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Share_libraries_using_MySQL/Sync_other_parts_of_XBMC

The Path Substitution works, and my Favourites are shared between devices, but my Favourites Widget doesnt work. I guess this is because the Widget is reading the favourites.xml from the UserData folder, and ignoring that there is Path Substitution in place?

Can the Widget be configured for this? Or can we have an option to point the widget to a specific favourites.xml location on the Network?

EDIT: also Favourites in the Menu Settings doesnt seem to follow the Path Substitution either. Maybe this isnt going to work. Ill wait for your thoughts.

XBMC really needs to get on top of this sharing situation. So many people must have multiple devices these days...

Per the screenshots at post #588 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=160184&pid=1479302#pid1479302 I confirm that in some cases I have lost my CoverArt on the FullScreen OSD after the last Skin update.

- If the Video is played from Search, Widgets, etc, NO CoverArt is displayed on the FullScreen OSD.

- If the Video is played from a Library view, CoverArt is displayed on the FullScreen OSD per normal.

Did you make any changes in this area?
