1. Is there anyway I can automatically detect if a addon is installed. I really dont like having users have to check on/off a bunch of settings. I guess I could put <visibles> like the in the question below...

2. Whats the correct visibility for AMT lite, this was the pre-merge way:

substring(container.folderpath,plugin://video/Apple Movie)

thx...

plugin://plugin.apple.video.trailers.lite/

currently no way to do 1), makes sense to add though.

system.hasaddon(id) added in r32499.

Very cool and very fast thx!

That means I'll be able to get rid of skin settings enable buttons for:

subtitles
Home Theater (when ready)
Lyrics
maybe 1 or 2 more

One thing to consider is there may be more than one subtitle or lyrics script(s). Thus the reason it's done the way it is.

I havent tried the new addition but, system.hasaddon(id), wouldn't that "id" be unique and not cause any conflicts?

[jmarshall]

Sure - I'm just saying that it might not be best to eliminate the choosing of the subtitle or lyrics scripts in your skin. It could perhaps be an optional thing though (i.e. default to xbmc.subtitles and xbmc.lyrics if they're there and then have a chooser in skin settings in case someone has another one they want to use).

This works:

<visible>system.hasaddon(script.logo-downloader)</visible>

But this doesn't:

<visible>Container.Content(tvshows) + system.hasaddon(script.logo-downloader)</visible>

**Edit**

Actually I was having trouble in general, this seems not to detect whether it's installed or not. It's returning true, or being ignored:

<visible>system.hasaddon(script.xbmc.subtitles)</visible>

Alright tried again, just want to 2x:

It seems to work only if addon is installed via addon manager correct? Thats how it's detecting whether or not something hasaddon

Like this works:

<control type="radiobutton" id="513">
<include>skin_settings_labels</include>
<label>Use TV Themes in Library</label>
<onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(tv_theme)</onclick>
<selected>Skin.HasSetting(tv_theme)</selected>
<visible>system.hasaddon(plugin.video.fox.news)</visible>
</control>

And if I uninstall the addon via addon repo then the setting disappears like expected. So far this doesn't work:

<control type="radiobutton" id="513">
<include>skin_settings_labels</include>
<label>Use TV Themes in Library</label>
<onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(tv_theme)</onclick>
<selected>Skin.HasSetting(tv_theme)</selected>
<visible>system.hasaddon(script.TvTunes)</visible>
</control>

That is because I manually installed it, since the addon is not in repo yet, correct?
