As regards delays in default widgets...

skin.helper.service is used by Skin Shortcuts to provide all the widget options available under "Default widgets". As its a script, Kodi may take a moment or two to list the options that it makes available. I've briefly discussed with Marcelveldt (who contributes to Skin Shortcuts and who is responsible for the skin helper script) the possibility of making these options availably natively in Skin Shortcuts, though the current thinking (and my own preference) is to keep them reliant on the external script.

If, however, you have an opinion on this I'd encourage you to post on the following issue on GitHub - https://github.com/BigNoid/script.skinsh.../issues/87 - where we'll be discussing whether Skin Shortcuts is ready for an update on the repo, and where this issue has been raised as something that may possibly need to be addressed before any repo push.

Added support for user ratings for videos. Requires the latest Jarvis nightly. For now, it replaces the IMDb rating in the furniture flags, couldn't decide on a good way to show them both. Also, couldn't hide the ratings button at the season level, <visible>!Container.Content(seasons)</visible> had no effect.

I noticed some crashing after setting user ratings with the latest nightly, but not when adding movies. Not a skin issue though, will just have to wait until bugs are fixed in the nightlies.

Ok, thanks.

Bryan,

I can also confirm crashes with the latest version of your skin, from GitHub, and the latest Jarvis nightly. Only happens with this skin. Regular Arctic Zephyr works fine. Any time you try to go into Movies or TV Shows, Kodi crashes. Unfortunately had to go back to standard Arctic Zephyr. I hope you can find out what is going on, your skin is my favorite by far!

I am running under Windows 8.1, if it makes any difference.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Bart

Try updating to today's nightly and the latest AZ from github. I'm not experiencing any crashing here. You can't really compare my mod to standard AZ since Jurial Munkey hasn't added any of the Jarvis features yet.

Hi Braz,

I tested your skin yesterday on the latest windows nightly to see how Jarvis was progressing, one thing i noticed was that pushing backspace on TVGuide timeline no longer brings up the menu.

i think you need to add <menucontrol>9000</menucontrol> to MyPVRGuide.xml as mentioned here:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2080369

Look at the PVR includes for confluence on github for reference etc.

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...RGuide.xml

Anyways, will let you know if i find anything else.

@loggio

I won't be implementing that, I specifically changed it so back exits and left brings up the menu...which is more consistent with the rest of the skin.

loggio · 2015-10-19, 03:21

I take it you don't use the timeline then??

The reason it's like that is so that users don't have to scroll all the way to the left of the timeline just to get to the menu. Especially if you scrolled ahead 2 days in the timeline to add a timer for recording, scrolling all the way back just to get to a menu is not intuitive.

Also, using the new feature in Jarvis keymap 'longpress' backspace to bring up the menu doesn't work on your skin.

braz · 2015-10-19, 03:27

I use timeline all the time, but I have lingertime set to 0 in advancedsettings.xml, so I don't have any items to the left of the currently airing show. Since this is just my personal mod, will likely leave as-is, though I can understand that this doesn't fit everyone's use case.

I'll have to look into the longpresses, I've never used them.

Even if there are no item to the left of the current show, my point still stands... If I scroll ahead 2 even 3 days, set a timer on a show then want to get to the channels screen I have to scroll all the back over 2 days worth of programs in order to get to the menu...

Anyways just my two cents... Definitely a deal breaker for me. It was one of the things that really frustrated me back in the early days of pvr implementation, was great to see it fixed.

Keep up the good work! Love the mod.

Cheers.

I don't record, so I guess I've never run into that situation. For my use, the current configuration works well, you'll need to change it in your local copy if you'd like backspace to show the menu.

Thanks!

Hi Braz,

So turns out i read into that whole thing wrong anyways.

I think you may want to add <menucontrol> to all views with a menu, this allows for the button mapped as "menu" in ones keymap folder to access the appropriate menu for the page their on.

in this case i want to assign:
<MyTVGuide>
<keyboard>
<backspace mod="longpress">Menu</backspace>
</keyboard>
</MyTVGuide>

will only work if <menucontrol> is set in the appropriate xml files.

This "longpress" function is awesome, it will greatly increase the functionality of my 7 button apple remote, been waiting a long time for this.

Understood. Will try tonight when I get home and let you know how it goes. Thanks.
