Still, this will be one cool skin. I'm looking forward to the youtube preview. - blacklist - 2010-12-18 xeonicxpression Wrote:I'm pretty sure he missed the point. Anyway, back on topic.

I'm looking forward to the youtube preview. Yeah, I have my doubts about the appletv. (thanks for getting us back on topic!) The fact is, the skin is: 1) coded at 1080i 2) uses a bunch of scripts to expand functionality 3) will end up fairly heavy on the animations I'm afraid that it is going to result in a skin that is going to take a fairly beefy machine to enjoy. (But will be TOTALLY worth it!) - MindTooth - 2010-12-18 What ever you say, boss This is surely something one of a kind, and it deserves the power it needs.. - blacklist - 2010-12-19 Anyone know if I can grab the context menu button in the home screen? I need something unique to use as a launcher. I'm not sure onBack is the option, although it would work. I think the context menu is the closest thing to the actual functionality fornthe main menu, but don't think I can grab that command from t he home screen. Thoughts? - ppic - 2010-12-19 in my mind there's no context menu available on home screen, just shutdown menu. - blacklist - 2010-12-19 ppic Wrote:in my mind there's no context menu available on home screen, just shutdown menu. That's what I was afraid of. I need a more elegant way to drop down the main menu! - MrIcka - 2010-12-22 =) - ubuntuf4n - 2010-12-23 The design of the first page on this thread looks like a masterpiece. Hope to see some sweet animations. Thumbs Up Guys! - blacklist - 2010-12-23 Just a bit of an update since we've been kind of quiet lately. Lots going on behind the scenes to get the scripting elements right (thanks again to ppic). Ronie and I both are on limited time for a couple weeks for the holidays, etc. The movie views are close to complete, with some tweaking of a few elements left to do, but basically usuable. Movies Todo:
1. Finish Actor screens - depends on some new mockups and completion of the script ppic is working on
Television Todo:2. Create "Sets" Screen - custom for browsing sets - needs mockups (Can you access a sets contents directly from the browsing view [script?]? ie. List view of sets on left -> coverart for set in center -> Thumb of set contents on the right. I'm guessing you would have to script this in order to make it effective. Would however, reduce clicks.) 3. Create "Genres" Screen - needs custom genre images & mockups (See above notes on sets. Not sure this is sensible for genres since you are potentially talking MANY movies in a genre vs. relatively few associated in a set.) As a side note, I still wish genre was editable from within the XBMC interface. Shoulding be that tough to implement I wouldn't think... 4. How about a "Now Playing" screen for movies currently in theaters. Perfect world thinking again, I could use this screen to add an item to my CouchPotato queue. 5. Speaking of CouchPotato - how about display of my current wishlist there?
1. Zip up mockup sets for ronie (yes, I'm dragging my feet )
Addn'l2. Look at seasons view - new mockup concept? 3. Figureout how to integrate nextPlaying script in non-invasive way. Current thought process is I'd like to mark a show as you are browsing as "Airing Today", and have a separate custom view for shows "Airing Today" (How to link from home?). In a perfect wishful thinking world, I'd love to see the next airing episodes in the episode list with their airdates, but non-selectable until they air. That would be HOT. Even better - I'd like to integrate with sabnzbd to see "queued" or "downloading" when its actually been grabbed.
1. Need to move selection to be able to access "Featured" items
Recent breakthroughs:2. In movies/tv/music - can we randomly choose between the main media and associated media? ie. on the movies home, have either "Featured Movies" or "Featured Actor" appear? 3. NEED A BETTER WAY TO ACCESS MAIN MENU! 4. Can we show the # of watches for a given episode/movie? Total watches for a series or season? I'm thinking small numeric icons like those uesed to trakt website to show comments. 5. Trakt integration possible? Not sure what logical level this needs to be taken to. Ideas:
1. The Main Menu now flips left and right. Current plan is to have onRight expose additonal XBMC features (Favorites, Change Profile, Shutdown, etc) and on Left expose a custom menu for 6 user defined links. Should give some added flexibility to the menu system. [/INDENT](also something similar for the view, filter menu within the views) 2. The RSS feed is working like a champ. Now includes capability for multiple feeds and to display associated images. [INDENT]Todo: 1. Look at a different way to display image contents. Cutting off too much with current polaroid implementation 2. How to handle multiple images in a article? 3. When images are thumbs with a link, can we display the full size image? Dealing with imagehosts may be a pain. I'm sure I'll think of something else - but current development notes - blacklist - 2010-12-24 new concept for a TV Show list view. A couple ideas that may take some work:

For a show that has ended need to work out alternative content. Maybe a last watched episode?just take the default, last difused episode date. - selleck - 2010-12-24 Quote:Next Episode: Date and time of next airing episode. For a show that has ended need to work out alternative content. Maybe a last watched episode? How about "last episode", or "series ended at"? Basically when the last episode aired... - blacklist - 2010-12-24 ppic Wrote:possible yes. Wow!!! Good to know! This one flew under my radar somehow - thanks ppic! - blacklist - 2010-12-24 tomeirik Wrote:How about "last episode", or "series ended at"? Basically when the last episode aired... Not a bad idea, I'm thinking maybe a random "featured" episode from the series? I have a lot of ended series and I'm not sure showing the last aired episode gives much value. Perhaps ill just remove the red button for an episode with no next aired and put 2 random episode thumbs down there for placeholders. |
