The "now playing" option is missing - DoomBot - 2013-08-24

I'm using the latest Gotham with the default skin. When i queue up videos there's no "now playing" option.
In frodo it was there and i used it alot. I play files under video's/files, i never use video library. So has something changed or has this been removed?

Thanks guys

something changed, go look around yourself

it's been moved to the sidebar
and it's currently only visible when you're actually playing videos (this might change in the near feature)

I still don't see it even playing a video. Why would you want to play queued files while watching a video?

Please open my eyes

Is there a button i could press on say the MCE remote once i queue up videos?

Or should i just use someones custom confluence skin and which of them would do what i want?

on a keyboard, you can press 'space', but as far as i'm aware there's no button on the remote for it.

i don't think any of them are gotham compatible and updated to the latest xbmc changes.


basically, you're out of luck for now. apart from creating a custom keymap for your remote, there no proper solution afaik.
we're aware of this shortcoming, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

Thanks ronie, you've been very helpful. I'm looking forward to the fix.

So was this ever resolved? I haven't tried a new version in awhile but the versions i have still are missing the option.
