Here's one suggestion and one question:

Suggestion: Make the "new episodes" widget "smarter". If, say, a whole season of some show is added to the library, instead of it occupying all the slots in the new eps widget, give it only one spot. Also, exclude "seen" items from the widget.

Question: Is it possibleto add the "update library" function either as a main menu item or as a submenu-item? It'd make it more accessible for my girlfriend who now exits and restarts xbmc to update the library.

1) can´t be done properly by the skin, the items are filled by xbmc itself.
2) yes. type custom --> enter "UpdateLibrary(video)"

Update is already a submenu item under movies isn't it? It's there for my install, using 3.0.1.

You could also navigate to the "update library" menu item using parent folders and going up a level til you see it, and then use the context menu to set it as a favorite - and then add it as a custom menu item.

EDIT: Ninja'd by phil65! And of course with another option...

bmc to update the library.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't the widget in the 2.x version of the skin exclude "seen" items, though? I'm pretty sure it did.

You're thinking of Dharma version of the skin. The ability to hide watched was removed with the introduction of Eden by XBMC devs. Nothing we can do about that.

yes, possible. please attach a github issue to the list there so we keep that in mind.

I saw that you added worldmap google, why not add the weather around the world?

script and documentation?

http://passion-xbmc.org/addons/?Page=Vie...atherworld

no readme inside, work in Glass

MyWeather.xml, custom_WeatherWorld_1114.xml and includesWeatherWorldCommonValues.xml

looked at it, but i don´t think that those movin labels are worth 1000+ lines of code.

and you split Myweather.xml in two files with custom_WeatherWorld_1114 no more code
just the include

you can just use 6 icons

or

too many lines (doesn´t matter whether they are in includes or not) mean long window loading times. that´s why I created seperate includes for 1124 window... I won´t do that for home menu, perhaps as a seperate window. will see
