Don't we just need a property to check that it's running so we can run the script if it's not?
ie !IsEmpty(Window.Property(WatchList_Running))
ie !IsEmpty(Window.Property(WatchList_Running))

Just a thought.
ronie Wrote:so what if the script is running, started by Transparency! with a limit=3 option.
user now switches to xeebo, Window.Property(WatchList_Running) will be true,
so you're not going to run the script again.
as a result, the user will end up with a half-filled watchlist in xeeboo...
or am i missing something?
ronie Wrote:i don't think it would be difficult for the script to detect a skin change,And then it would shut itself down so !IsEmpty(Window.Property(WatchList_Running)) would be true?
but need to test to find out for sure.
ronie Wrote:that would not be an issue for 'limit', but other items are optional as well:
movies=true, episodes=true, albums=true...
and those were added by request, so i doubt we should ditch those again and just fetch everything by default (and hardcoded).

first let me say "sorry for my bad english" I hope you understand what i want to say you.
I have read the thread and thought you have next episode what is a great feature, but have you all of you so many unfinished movies ? When i watch a movie i watch it to the end and if i must stop the movie i look the end of the movie on the next day.
I should therefore like if you could add a option to make a watchlist with next want to see movies where i could manually add movies. My problem is, that i add new movies and think " oh this movie i must watch" and after 10 days i added the next movies and think "oh this movie i must watch" and so on and than i forgot witch movie i want to see.
And so i have a watchlist with xx movies and 5 or 10 of them will show in the home screen.
I hope you understand what i mean.

what's the recommended skin implementation? Have it run on Home.xml load?
