Hi, my compliments for the modded confluence, it allowed me to make a lot of configs/customizations and is working perfectly.

I'm trying to add a label (or bar) showing the current volume (regardless of the selected screen).
I tried adding following lines to Home.xml

<control type="label">
<description>Test label</description>
<posx>170</posx>
<posy>285</posy>
<height>30</height>
<width>1000</width>
<label>testVol: $INFO[Player.Volume]</label>
<align>left</align>
<aligny>center</aligny>
<font>font13_title</font>
<textcolor>white</textcolor>
<shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>
</control>

but I always get:
testVol: 0.0dB
regardless of the volume...
I'm on Windows 7

If this is the wrong place where to post I apologize (first post) -could you pls redirect me to the correct forum?

EDIT: pressing + and - it works (changes the XBMC volume) but I need to display the System Volume...

Thanks a lot

What do i have to change in home.xml to directly get into music files mode when pushing MUSIC in MAINMENU ??
...
Change in home.xml line 1064 to '<onclick>ActivateWindow(Music)</onclick>'

THANKS for this very useful tip !

Perhaps it can help:

Searching for a free XML editor with lines numbers, I downloaded Notepad ++

It's perfect

..Is there a way (setting or editing files) so that when selecting Video's from the main menu it always goes to the files menu?
..
Only by editing Home.xml in 720p folder of the skin...
See line 1107 and change both onclicks to

PHP Code:

<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,Files,return)</onclick> 


In Home.xml of /addons/skin.moddedconfluence-Vol.2/720p/
I read this :



-> So.. I replaced both lines 1109 & 1110 by the same syntax : <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,Files,return)</onclick>

Now when I call Video Menu I have always file mode
... but with a small flicker :
-> Is-it because the line is written 2 times ?

Thanks for your ideas

edit August 10
No flicker problem with:
1109 <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,Files,return)</onclick>
1110 <onclick>!ActivateWindow(Videos,Files,return)</onclick>

Love the skin, need some help.

In the Videos Library, I can hit info or the i key and the video information includes the path to the file. When I do the same for my music library (info for song and album), I do not get the path information. Is there a way to add that info(either song or album is fine? Thanks in advance.

is this skin compatible with xbmc 11 eden?

is this skin compatible with xbmc 11 eden?

This version is for Frodo (12.x). See link in first post of this thread for previous version that will work with Eden.

I'd be interested in a version of this that will work with Gotham. Currently, it won't even show up after adding your repository.

I use a low power atom machine built up from scratch with Arch Linux and Confluence is nice and snappy whereas some other skins are less so - it's just that confluence lacks a few basic features that I got used to having on my more powerful machines.

Hey!

Got a couple of question on some settings that are driving me crazy, I have tried several options and can't get them to work....

1. How do I get XBMC to recognize a Concert? What scrapper should I use? Is the content Movie, Music or TV Show? Do I make a separate library named Concerts?....help!
2. Same question for Documentaries.
3. When the movies are displayed, in the original CONFLUENCE its shows the quality as HD or SD, not its shows 1080, 720 and 480...can you change this back to the original?

I would really appreciate a step by step instruction for the first two questions.....THANKS!!!!

I finally upgraded to Frodo last week and discovered this skin doesn't have my favorite layout, Right List. However, after fiddling around, and editing several files, MyVideoNav.xml, includes.xml, IncludesBackgroundBuilding.xml, all is working. I had to add either the id#, or the file name to those xml files. Since I'm a complete novice, I don't know if I needed to edit every single file, but I did to no ill effect.

The icing on the cake was slightly modifying XBMC Launcher's DialogButtonMenu.xml to include only 4 options in the shutdown menu:

• Restart XBMC
  
• Exit XBMC
  
• Reboot
  
• System
  

The good news for me is "Restart XBMC" seems to fix the occasional "no audio" I get when turning on the TV. It must be something about Win7, my Receiver and my TV that cause it to glitch out once in a while. And since the System Settings are available in the shutdown menu, I was able to deactivate that option on the home screen using this method.

The skin is great, thanks mad-max! And thanks to everyone else who has asked/answered questions in this thread and the previous one. It's really a great supply for info.

Edit: Here is the ViewsVideoRightList.xml file. I had to do some editing in order to have the banners show up for the TV shows. http://pastebin.com/SzR9TDMt

For TV Shows, I have the episode count, as well as the watched and unwatched count.
I edited the movies as well. Here is a link to a previous post showing the formatting this file will create.

Just installed this on my Gbox. Its great.
quick question, I have a shared upnp folder from my main HTPC. Is there way for me to add this to the homesceen at all? without having to go into video-files- and search that way?

Thanks

[Robotica]

I also like the upnp specific Confluence. It would be a great feature to have this in a mod.

Same here, I have all my movies organized in different folders. Movies, Kids movies, Documentaries ..etc why can't you just point it to each folder like what you do to Movies and have them separate... wouldn't that be the easiest way? It's a big hassle using smart play lists to separate everything. Also is there a way to add more than 1 custom background?

BTW I love the Mod and I appreciate all your hard work.

[jjmucker]

Just a wee bump guys to see if it is indeed possible to have your UPNP shared folder sitting as a favorite on the homescreen?
thanks

Hi mad-max.

I've been using your skin for a while now. I love it!
Recently I changed my TV Shows view to BannerRightList.
However, instead of "Seasons", or in Dutch "Seizoenen" the German text "Staffeln" appears.

It's located in the ViewsVideoBannerWall.xml on line 131.
I changed it manually for now, but maybe you could do a 'bug-fix' (big word for it though..) in the next release?

Keep up the good work!

Is there anyway to get more than 2 favorites with high level menus on the home screen? I have netflix and steam right now but want to add Hulu... all open their win8 apps.
