New version 1.9.3b added:

• Wake On Lane
  
• Bonjour for pre-eden builds / assisted bonjour for 10.1
  
• Customised features settings, to help speed up slower clients (XBOX and low powered)
  
• Flatten Tv shows
  
• Fixes for various issues (plugin and skin related)
  

I have also released an updated confluence.plexbmc skin for this, at 0.4.4, which takes into account the settings view corruption bug - I would recommend an update for all those running earlier versions..

New Version 1.9.4.1 with extra skin support.
New PleXBMC tweaked version of Cirrus extended 2.04 also available.

New Version 1.9.4.2 with moreskin support.
New PleXBMC tweaked version of Quartz also available.

New release V1.9.5 - find it on the second post..

Bug fixes and support for new 0.9.3.3 functions:

• Delete media from Plex Media Server
  
• Display Photo sections (works best with a PleXBMC skin)
  
• Support for Webkit type Plex Plugins (e.g. Pitchfork.tv, tvcatchup.com) - but only with video being transcoded. Only way to do it I'm afraid :-(
  
• Fixed: Windows local file detection
  
• Fixed: PleXBMC should play nicely with Windows PMS
  

I've also released a newer version of CirrusEx.plexbmc (v0.2). This fixes an issue with music and picture plugin views (they were wrong). Sorry it's a 100Mb downloads for an ~50bytes of changed code..

How would you go about taking a normal theme and redirecting the TV Shows / Movies to the Plex guide? Like a theme mod instead of using a PleXBMC theme?

[hippojay]

So instead of getting Plex section names, you would have a Movies link, which would take you to all the Plex movie sections?

Can be done, although I would either have to alter the plugin to give a single listing of movies or TV sections, or the skin would need to be altered to check for the section type (similar to what I did on the quartz mod).

Altering the plugin should be easy enough as I do most of this already I would just need to put a filter in place before presenting the sections. I'll have a look tonight.

Yea i'm trying to work off of reFocus, and I got the Videos tab to be replaced with Movies and TV Shows, now I just want to get Movies and TV Shows to link to PleXBMC movies and TV Shows I can't seem to get the right onclick value for them however.

[hippojay]

Ok - give this addon version a go:

https://github.com/downloads/hippojay/pl....9.5.1.zip

I've added in a new entry point for the plugin, which will allow a filtered view of the sections depending on what argument you feed the plugin. You need to use this for your onclick:

ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,"plugin://plugin.video.plexbmc/?url=movies",return)

For TV, Music or photos use tvshows, music or photos respectively.. I've tested this and it works fine, so if it meets your needs I'll roll it up into the official release.

[doteleven]

Nope that doesn't work, it sends me here: http://cl.ly/8hUF
Whereas if I go through the add-on it shows the actual movies.

Alright, that's running off the latest stable version, when I upgrade to Eden (the latest nightly beta) it shows up like this: http://cl.ly/8hk5 anyway I can make it skin the step and automatically go to the real tv show section?

[hippojay]

The first problem is a 10.1 views issue. You can't use library views unless you have library mode activated, and you can't do this without scanning something into the XBMC library. This has been changed in Eden so that library views are available regardless of scanned media.

There is a dummy file in the addon package with can be added/scanned which allows library views. Scan it in and that blank screen will then display the Plex tv show sections. It's a pain but the only way to get XBMC to display correctly.

EDIT: btw, was this the right function you were looking for? Being able to go directly to a list of Plex Movie or TV sections?

[doteleven]

Yes it's what I'm looking for, but is there a way to fix the Eden issue or should I just stick to Dharma?
Edit: Did what you said and it's still a two step process any way to make it straight to without having to click movies twice?

[hippojay]

ok - bit confused now about having to click movies twice :-)

Which are you asking for this (all starting points are home screen):

Code:

1. Movies   -> List of plex sections with movies -> list of movies in chosen section
   TV Shows -> List of Plex sections with shows  -> list of shows in chosen section
  
2. Movies   -> list of movies in section named Movies
   TV Shows -> list of shows in section names TV Shows

[doteleven]

I have one section in Plex labeled Movies I want it to go straight to that, showing all my movies instead of going to a of movie sections then the movie if that makes sense.
So in short #2 from Plex of course.

[hippojay]

ah - ok. I understand.

Good news is you can do this, bad news is that I'd have to re-structure a portion of my code to do it nice and easily.

So here is the direct way:
1. Go to http://< PMS IP ADDRESS >:32400/library/sections in a web browser
2. make a note of the number value of the "key" field for the section you want to use that matches the name in "title"
3. use this code in your onclick:

Code:

ActiveWindow(VideoLibrary, plugin://plugin.video.plexbmc/?url=http://< PMS IP ADDRESS >:32400/library/sections/< section number >/all&mode=2, return)

so for example, my PMS is 192.168.1.200 and the section number for Movies is 1:

Code:

ActiveWindow(VideoLibrary, plugin://plugin.video.plexbmc/?url=http://192.168.1.200:32400/library/sections/1/all&mode=2, return)

When I use then and try to click nothing happens. it just hangs.
