you need to set widget 1 to "random movies (vpl)" to achieve that.

I have this anime series name "B Gata H Kei - Yamada’s First Time" which I scanned to my library. It was added without issue, but everytime I even simply select the series, XBMC crashes. I tried selecting it using a different skin (Metropolis) and it didn't crash once. So it seems to be a bug in the skin. Re-naming the the series to just "B Gata H Kei" resolved to problem, so it has to be something with that specific combination of word and letters. I'm at a loss as to what caused the crashes. Does anyone have a clue as to why it happened?

I made a mock .nfo file and dummy .mp4 to reflect: B Gata H Kei - Yamada’s First Time and I was able to select into it just fine. What are you using to scrape this? Perhaps it's putting some weird character in there?

I finished two more videos. My town keeps losing power (poxy ESB ) so I only was able to finish two today. I'll have a few more done tomorrow I'd say. I'm thinking I'll do a widget configuration one and maybe a segment on using the Main Menu customiser.

Most of the settings are wrong for me such as low list, wall, bigfan, etc. The TV artworks is blurry (stretch) or I get pieces of images instead of name. The only one that seems to be normal and look good is Banner plex.

Is there a way to readjust the artwork to look like the 2nd image on page 1? I use Ember Media Manger to download all my TV information. Other then that it's a nice skin.

Would be nice to have Logo Art as a choice.

I use EMM as well and it works grand. What do you mean by the settings are wrong? Can you give a screenshot how Lowlist looks?

If you look at the photo I uploaded should show images with show title not just random parts of photos. Go to page 1 of the thread and look at the 2nd photo now that's how it is suppose to look. I was just saying I use EMM to get the information

The screenshot you gave me is not LowList view. I'm curious how it looks squished.

The screenshot you posted is exactly how Showcase view (as far as I'm aware) is suppose to look. You just need to configure it a bit more if you want that view on the first page.

Go to your viewtype settings and under Infopanel - Layout choose which layout you like. I think the one in the first post is 4 thumbs.

very nice, that´s exactly what i wanted would be nice if you could talk about it as if it was final, not the git version since this should become part of the official repo version
apart from that, very very nice work and greatly appreciated. thx.

debug log, please. probably not something we can fix on our end, must be xbmc-related.

No prob. Here's the log from selecting the series (http://pastebin.com/XfvAKaam) and here's another when it crashed due to the widget having the name in it (http://pastebin.com/GnSBqpb9)

I'm using Ember to scrape. I thought it could have been a weird character too, but typing it out manually still causes a crash. Never had this problem in all the years I've used Ember, so I doubt the problem is there.

Fional,

Thank you under General Option I notice a use "poster.jpg" for poster stereo type view button. I enable and now everything look normal.

those are normal logs, not debug logs.

Ok, cool, that's a good idea and makes sense! I was just showing off that I use git hehehe

I'll have some good ones tomorrow.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I prefer showing logo or clearart with lowlist. Some series only have one or the other and I'm trying to see which is "cooler" to look at. I might go with logo, simply because it would match my music and film options.

Ye, I use Ember too and love it - thing is, a long while back, probably before 2.0 even, I had an issue where something I was scraping with EMM was not being received kindly and I just "manually" made the ..nfo. I can't recall, but I'm almost positive I posted about it. But if you turn debug mode on and then give it a try, maybe it will reveal something?

hmm doesn´t show anything useful for me on first sight... probably best to open a new thread in general xbmc section with an exact description of your problem.
did you try a clean install?
