Favorites thumbnails fail with smart playlists - fred_gaou - 2013-10-05
Hi,
I fall in love with this skin.
But something's wrong with the favorites default menu provided from witch I expected so much.
Thumbnail (favorites) that points to smart playlist are empty:
However, they're displayed well in menu:
I tested with xeebo skin and it works but it seems it handles them with a different hook.
My favorites points to smart playlist except one that points to sets link. This is the only one witch thumbnail is correctly displayed in Ace.
Here is my favourites.xml content:

</favourites>Issue is not related to special:// path used in the file. I tested with absolute path.
No problem if favorite points to a single movie.
my log is here
Please need help unless it is a bug or a feature currently not available for my case.

You have script random and last item, installed?
RE: Favorites thumbnails are empty - fred_gaou - 2013-10-05
It is weird, the script is in my add-on folder: portable_data\addons\script.randomandlastitems
But if I search it in my XBMC settings/add-ons with the word item or random, it doesn't find it in repo (I have frodo though). It only find random trailers, etc.

It would be helpful if anybody that faces the same issue post here to confirm.

I have the same problem. My audio smart playlist thumbnail works correctly in Confluence and some other skins too, but not in Ace.

</favourites>The Capital FM logo is displayed correctly, however the last favourite does not display a thumbnail, despite it's location being in the same path. It doesn't make a difference for me whether the playlist is xsp or m3u I still get no thumb displayed.

I updated my config to gotham with last ace and other updated plugin. It's a fresh install and the problem exposed in first post is still there. I hope someday it will be fixed…
