Is there a way to disable all Seasons, and all albums? Hoping I over looked it somewhere..

Settings > Library > Videos > Show "All items" entry
Settings > Library > Music > Show "All items" entry

If you want to disable it from the skin, you can use the skin helper tool to set a system bool
(you get these from the kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml file).

Code:

RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=togglekodisetting,setting=videolibrary.showallitems)
RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=togglekodisetting,setting=musiclibrary.showallitems)

Thank I did it manual for now .... I can not for the life of me figure out how to use ski.helper service no mater what I do it never works for me ... except the wigets lol....

<onload>RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=setkodisetting,setting=videolibra​ry.showallitems,value=false)</onload>

<onload>RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=setkodisetting,setting=musiclibra​ry.showallitems,value=false)</onload>

I put that in my start up and just get errors

That's a toggle action. You cannot use a value there. Just use the System.GetBool function to get the required condition (returns true if set).

Correct code

Code:

<onload condition="System.GetBool(videolibra​​ry.showallitems)">RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=togglekodisetting,setting=videolibra​​ry.showallitems)</onload>
<onload  condition="System.GetBool(musiclibrary.showallitems)">RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=togglekodisetting,setting=musiclibrary.showallitems)</onload>

Edit:
You have to keep in mind that this setting is set globally and will be disabled on other skins, too. A lot of users don't like it to play with settings, which aren't skin related. The best option is to ask the users to disable that items (skin settings or implement a custom startup routine).

still don't work for me.. I update to the newest skin helper repo as well... I have it in the start up.xml not sure if that makes a difference.

IMO this is something that scripts just should not be allowed to do. Too many opportunities for abuse and users won't know what is causing their settings to change.

@braz:
It's a great feature. It's up to the skinners to use it carefully.

[smitchell6879]

well personally if I could ever get it to work ... I planned on making a frist run sequence for all setting and explaining things..

But as normal skin.helper has so much to offer and make skinning life simple.... true... but the only thing that I have go to work is skin helper widgets and color picker so... yea

[smitchell6879]

Thanks Sualfred... It work wonderful with a button....so that makes it easier with the first run thing... Thanks a ton. just make the music section look a lot cleaner...

How would I call to set keyboard to qwerty? What would that be called to use the togglekodisettigs
