'libraries' - that was the context that was missing. I have linked an addon to the library (a separate task I was looking at) and the Global Search works as advertised now, thanks.
I was hoping that the Global Search would search all the iSearch TV/Movie addons for the keyword - then you could choose which search result to use.
iRecommend seems to be a cross between a fuzzy logic search and recommendations - starting with and based on the keyword.
Is there an addon which is a recommender (Movie and TV Shows) using the library contents as a starting point, rather than a keyword?
Thanks very much.

Which addons were you thinking of. The version in my repo has a few more addons available. It doesn't search any automatically, it simply saves you having to reenter the keywords multiple times to search different addons for the same keywords. iRemember allows you to store keywords for later retrieval back into iSearch (again saves typing, and to store iRecomendations for later use)
iRecommend - the first time in it performs a simple IMDB keyword search, from the results of this it can then identify the IMDB numbers of the returned items, so after the initial search it then uses the actual IMDB number and then presents the results of the 'Also watched' section of the items IMDB page.
SF 1.0.35 now in the official org repo.
The previous version in the org repo was 1.0.25 so this latest version has a load of extra stuff in it (if you have the latest from my own repo 1.0.34 you wont see much extra)

- Fixed adding of playlist Super Favourites back to Kodi favourites (existing items may need to be re-added)
- fixed RunScript manual entry handling of extra parameters
- iSearch can now be performed using IMDB numbers (ttxxxxxxx)
- Copy, cut and paste functionality for quickly moving Super Favourites and Super Folders
- Hide folders by adding VISIBLE=false into the folder.cfg file (only manually at the moment)
- Switched over to xbmcvfc - should now allow main SF folder to be located on a share (tested using Samba)

As always, feedback and suggestions are most welcome

Hello, I wrote to you a few days back about the view type problem I've been having.
Even with the new view type option in settings, I'm not able to get the square icons in "icon view" that I want.
I've tried creating a new folder and every no matter what, the view type "icons" always shows portrait (rectangular) icons.
Anyway, let me know if you think I'm doing something wrong or what I can try to fix this.
Thanks for your help.

Can you let me know what skin you are using and what the view mode in question is called, also what menu are you launching SF from.
Edit
Ive had a look and it seems to be because in SF I am setting the view type to movies, in this case that skin defaults to the portrait style icons.
Hi Spoyser firstly a huge thanks i dont use sf to anywhere near its full capability but i do love it.
im having the same issue the icons have all gone squashed on aeon nox skin is there a fix i can do to swap them back
thank you

I use Ge and Sa addons - so automatically searching those (or any installed/in the list I suppose) - then showing the amalgamated results so you could choose the best stream.
Thanks.

Yeah I kind of figured it was something like that based on stuff I've read elsewhere.
I'm using the theme Nebula btw. But anyway, do you think there's anything I can do (program file modification or otherwise) to try to force remedy my situation?
Thanks

If you fancy editing code, take a look in default.py and change:
Code:
if doEnd:
if len(contentType) > 0:
xbmcplugin.setContent(int(sys.argv[1]), contentType)
xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(int(sys.argv[1]), cacheToDisc=cacheToDisc)
if VIEWTYPE > 0:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.SetViewMode(%d)' % VIEWTYPE)
to
Code:
if doEnd:
xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(int(sys.argv[1]), cacheToDisc=cacheToDisc)
if VIEWTYPE > 0:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.SetViewMode(%d)' % VIEWTYPE)
This will however prevent the description feature from working as that relies on setting the plot to the description and thhen setting the content to movies.
I'll put a setting in for this but that won't be for a while.
Thank you very much for the temp fix!
Keep up the great work, your addon is the best

Hi there
I am having trouble getting the temp folder shortcut working in super favourites. I added the temp folder to my Kodi favourites and it works perfectly.
However when I add this Kodi favourite to SF it only takes me to to the main file manger window.
Any ideas?

What do you mean by temp folder shortcut?
A shortcut to access the files located in the temp which is located in the Kodi folder.

Ah okay.
Can you let me know what you did to add it to the standard Kodi favourites, and I'll take a look.
