First of all, thanks for work on helix support.

Mudislander would be nice if you could add Favourites Widget like in other version.

@Mudislander
Thanks for your involvement.Appreciate the time and labour.
How difficult is it for you to add "Favourites" to the Main menu button (something similar in Amber and Ace)?

RE: CCM for Helix - Mudislander - 2015-01-07

Will be adding a widget for favourites ( and weather) but I'd like to use the super.favourites addon so need a bit of time to look at it and more importantly need to fix a few bugs eg: Mouse control - How do people use them on a media center, I get pissed off in minutes with a mouse!

I'd like to get a repo going as we now have a customisable home page with main menu, submenu, addons 70 of them Big Grin and widgets.

I probably am going to have to change across to the newer way of doing things with dynamic content instead of lastandrandom items script which will need a lot of code change.

@ozooha you can already add favourites window to main menu if you want. I've done a factory reset on my laptop so only skins avail ATM are official repo so no Amber or Ace to look at.

Funny, I get pissed off in seconds using the remote that came with my UT2 Ugoos box or a keyboard. It locks and will all of a sudden start scrolling like crazy if I am looking at a list of my videos....or what ever I happen to be scrolling through. I use a mouse 90% of the time with no big issues.

But today I just had my Zotac Zbox delivered! So I dunno what I'll use with it yet. Maybe the Harmony 880 remote and a Flirc....

I have a zbox with built in IR reciever and a Harmony One remote. Works great, don't need a flirc dongle. Just follow the setup instructions posted online (google "harmony xbmc setup") and make sure to add your zbox as a device as well. Good luck.

Here is the best intro movie I found so far. I currently use it on Angelina's Helix version of your CCM for Gotham Helix now. Might be a good inclusion for yours.

It was found here:

I converted it to mkv:

i'm a massive fan of the ccm mod skin so really glad to hear you are making a new skin. As others have said 7 addon icons would be an awesome addition if you can incorporate it into the skin. could i ask if we have 12 menu items (great btw) that we can have 12 sub menu sets to populate with 9 items in each sub menu and 12 addon sets so that each menu item can have its own sub menu & addon set.

great work btw

Thank you. The "favourites" can be put on the home menu.
However I wanted the layout on the main menu to open up like how it does for Movies/TV Shows into its own window with the
favourite "short cuts" as tiles in it. This is how it is designed in the skins - Ace and Amber. Currently the favourites just slides out
like how it does when you click the "favourites" star icon at lower left corner.
Would it be possible?
Appreciate the effort.

Sure.

Actually, since you decided on using the mkv I had already converted, below you will find a higher quality version I made since my last post:

http://www.2shared.com/video/GHFdwt10/KODI-Intro-Video.html

It is actually the highest quality I could get from that gif using the Linux command: "ffmpeg -i TautInfiniteFlyinglemur.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -b:v 100000K KODI-Intro-Video.mkv." Still only 2.7 mb, though, and I don't see much difference on my laptop display. Update if you wish.

great work btw

Already done 10 sets of 7 Addons, 12 MainMenu items with 12 sets of submenus but only 6 items each.

Submenu items limetd to 6 as more would need scrolling due to space limits which obviously can be done but need to be presented in a way everybody can understand. Also ATM limited to 10 sets of addons, my concern internal variables are growing exponantialy and every movement, load and unload of the homescreen is becomming slower and slower. Eg original Confluence was set that Movies was item number 4 then it just had to load the submenu, addons and widget for MainMenu Item 4.

CCM has know idea what you've put where so everytime you move accross the main menu it first has to do a crazy amount of queries. take a look at the file "IncludesVariables.xml" which original Confluence doesn't have - those are all decisions CCM needs to make. They may only need micro seconds each but get enough of them and we're talking real time seconds.

Loving your work so far Mudislander! Not asking for anything that I haven't already asked for, just saying thanks! Big Grin
