Three buttons in menu, but each button can have 5(?) sub buttons, so you have 15 custom buttons.

Exceptional work but please make this optional:

- Rename custom home items directly from home by pressing back/backspace

Real nice skin thank you. If it's possible could you make the lyric button in osd have focus like the subtitle button for videos. Thanks.

Working really nice thanks for adding the option

- Option to run Artwork Downloader automatically after library update

I've just realised that when Confluence Modified runs Artwork Downloader after a video library update, it only runs AD for movies and so new tvshows are ignored. Looking at the skin setting, "Update movie artwork after library update", this is exactly correct behaviour, but why restrict this to movies only? Can support for tvshows be added so that both movie and tvshow mediatypes are passed to AD after a video library update?

Here is the debug when Conlfuence Modified runs AD after a video library update:

Code:

19:37:26 T:140011035481920   DEBUG: ExecuteXBMCAction : Translating XBMC.RunScript(script.artwork.downloader, silent=true, mediatype=movie)
19:37:26 T:140011035481920   DEBUG: ExecuteXBMCAction : To XBMC.RunScript(script.artwork.downloader, silent=true, mediatype=movie)

Mostly because of the way artwork downloader works it's not possible to download for both movies and shows at once. It would require that that the script is launched twice which is not very nice. Or that's the way i think i works if i remember correctly, haven't looked at the code in weeks.

And in most use case scenarios new tv shows are added to the library very rarely that the autoupdate is not needed for most of us i'd say.

And now that i look at that log maybe it would a better idea to automatically download only the movie art that is actually supported by the skin (logos, extrafanart). If a user has all the artwork types selected in AD settings (is everything enabled by default?) it will download a crapload of art.

Hmmm... I'll have a quick look at the AD source, I'd have thought it might take a list (ie. "mediatype=movie,tvshow"), or perhaps omitting mediatype runs it for all the enabled media types? Will post an update shortly.

Edit: I think a mode=custom argument in place of mediatype=movie would cause AD to run once for all media types (movie, tvshow and musicvideo) - see line #112.

I disagree that running AD is just for new media - you may be missing artwork for a TV show that has been in your media library for some time, and when artwork for that TV show is finally added by some kind contributor to fanart.tv, running AD for tvshows will automatically download the missing TV show artwork. So running AD for tvshows even when adding a new movie is beneficial.

I can't remember what the AD defaults are, but certainly AD is capable of downloading artwork items that will not used by Confluence Modified (eg. clearart in movies, though clearart in TV shows are used by Confluence Modified). However it doesn't appear possible for the skin to instruct AD which artwork to download (or not download) - if the user configures AD to download a crapload of art then a crapload of art is what AD will download.

[User 34959]

Problem with AD is that if you run it like this

XBMC.RunScript(script.artwork.downloader, mode=custom, clearlogo, clearart, extrafanart)

it will also download for music videos, which i don't want as it will not find anything if Concertdb scraper is used. Plus you would be forced to download clearart for movies as well if you want to run the script only once per library update.

Using mediatype=movie,tvshow it will only download for the first media type specified and the rest gets ignored, i've tried.

[Milhouse]

OK, I'll ask Martijn if he would consider adding support for multiple mediatypes - would that be acceptable from your end, so you could specify "mediatype=movie,tvshow"?

First of all, thanks for this great Skin, it's a joy to use!
I have everything setup and configured just as I want it, but just one feature will not show as I would like to see it.

I have added my Kids movies as a separate entry to the Library, since they are in a separate folder. I have also created a Custom home item (Kids Movies) which points to a smart-list and works perfectly fine as well! So far so good!

The problem I have is that "Recently Added" does NOT show up above "Kids Movies" and I don't know how to change that.
Also, the "Recently added" above the "Movies", shows ALL movies which were added, including the kids ones, which I do not want. I would like this to show only the ones in the Library related to my movies (different path)

How do I go about changing this? Should I change a XML file directly? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

[User 34959]

If i remember right you simply have to enable custom widget 1, 2 or 3 in the skin settings, depending on which custom main menu slot the kids smartplaylist is assigned to. I cannot remember right now but i think it lists only unwatched recently added from the smart playlist.

For the second question, i'd say there's no way to achieve what you want by editing skin files. Disable the default builtin movies main menu button, create a smartplaylist and exclude the path to kids movies and assign that smartplaylist to the menu and enable custom widget for that slot?

[rleefmans]

Thanks for the feedback!
I feel a bit stupid, but I have do not have the option in Skin Settings to enable Custom Widgets at all. Can you please let me know in which (sub) menu it is supposed to be in? Maybe something did not install correctly? How can I check which dependencies are present for this skin?

With regards to the second comment, thanks, I figured as much. I will change that when I sort out the "kids" part!

[User 34959]

Enable "show recommended and recently added unwatched content" in the skin settings and make sure you have script.randomandlastitems installed and assign the playlist to the main menu. I think those are 3 conditions that have to be met before you can enable custom widget 1-3.
