One 'feature' I also noticed a while back which I thought I would mention:

When adding any item to Favourites, in order that it can then be selected and added to a SubMenu list, or an AddOn list, thereafter (ie: once it is already added on the SubMenu/AddOn list) the item can then be deleted from the Favourites without affecting any functionality (ie: it still works from the SubMenu/AddOn list).

This is incredibly useful, since it means items can be added only temporarily to Favourites, in order to get them into one of the other lists, and thereafter deleted, retaining a nice and tidy 'proper' favourites list. It's even more useful if you are using the Favourites widget, since none of these random items need to seen there.

If this is by design, please ensure to keep it like this

It's not by design, it's from being lazy However it is a nice "bug" and will leave it as is. You do know someone will complain about it though.

It is definitely a feature - I support it 300%

I don't see why anyone should complain. If they want to leave the items on the Favourites list too, they are free to do so. I can maybe see a point about deleting items, however these items that have been placed on a SubMenu or AddOn list are thereafter effectively permanent Menu items, so they don't normally need modifying regularly.

Far better to have the ability to retain a proper, clean, and tidy Favourites list, where new items added (which always add to the bottom of the list, ie: after all the permanent junk if it's there) can instead be prioritised and automatically appear in the Home Screen Favourites Widget.

This is all somewhat defeated when the Favourites list is populated (cluttered?) by a whole lot of permanent (junk) items that are only there to provide menu functionality (there only needs to be 4 of these to make the Widget useless without scrolling), and are not a 'true' Favourite item (eg: a TV series you currently watching and want fast access to, but will be deleted from Favourites when it's all 'watched')

So, for once, a 'good' bug

Yes please Mudislander, I would love the rating option to ignore UK: as EMM adds this by default.

I could edit it out by hand but that would mean going through 350+ films. Even if i rescrape all films, I don't think EMM has an option not to add UK: before the rating.

Hope this isn't too much work for you, if you decide to undertake it that is...

Okay will add option to add prefix near the country choice. Suggested idea - if you add prefix UK: Mod will then look for UK: U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, R18, 18

I've also seen a prefix of "Rating" What may be an issue is the character between prefix and rating, sometimes a : other time a space. would be interesting to hear what other users can find in their .nfo files eg "<mpaa>Rated 12A</mpaa>"

---

mudislander - can i make a request - i think it would be great to be able to remove the small text on the home screen under each addon icon. its impossible to read against most of my backgrounds and i have used icons that identify the addon anyway. hope ive explained that properly.

Added to Git - Ready for next update. option can be found under home screen section of General Settings

Certification by country - Would it help to have user set a prefix to be ignored, as previous post prefix "UK" gets mistaken for "U" and some scrapers use a prefix of "Rating" which will get mistaken for "R"

Okay, having issues with this one so will change slightly & hard code some of the choices eg if prefix = UK: then United Kingdom, FSK = Germany, Australia: = Australia etc. Pretty straight forward.

Now the interesting bit, my scraper returns "Rated 12A" & I don't want to re-scrape everything & I want the UK symbols to show. So the existing toggle for countries will have to stay & therefore I can set it to UK so that "Rated 12A" will become "UK:12A" for the mod to show the correct image.

That'll work for me & a few others But I take it others will want it to work for them also. So I need what your scraper returns - look in the .nfo file and find the mpaa tag

Code:

<mpaa>Rated 12A</mpaa>

Then let me know (obviously) I have icons for UK, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Hong Kong & Netherlands So will also need to find others if required

The other thing is who wants to force the local certification eg scraper returns default US MPAA but user wants local symbols. Then I'd need the comparisons between MPAA G, PG, PG-13,NC-17 & R and your countries certification.

As a end note - have given up with trying to create images, so will be using colour ones. Therefore the other codec icons will also have to change, probably the same as Hybrid as I have them already.

Hi Mudislander,

Regarding the info for film certification, I have uploaded some screenshots which may help...

As previously mentioned, I use Ember Media Manager to scrape my movies so unsure how other programs or XBMC's internal scraper shows the MPAA or certification info

Here's a screenshot of a random .nfo which shows the MPAA and Certification as UK: - so all entries have the prefix UK: before them...



One from EMM itself....



And lastly, showing the movie info screen in xbmc...



I hope this helps and let me know if I can provide any other info

[Mudislander]

Cheers, Guys in the UK & using Ember are safe the "UK:" bit is hardcoded

As a quick test, add one of the PreSet Playlists to the menu to check the widgets is working. screenshot shows PreSet choices.

Did this, and it worked. But still no widget on the home menu.

Hi Mudislander,

Tested the above and confirm the country certification for UK works no problem for me.

Thanks for the quick update and doing this for us, much appreciated :)
