Excellent job on all of your work @HugoL

Our work, considering a lot of the work is yours!

@trkselim , @AchillesPunks

Do we really need to quote large posts and add only 1 or 2 single lines as a reaction?
Maybe I'm getting old, but a but more clever reaction would be appreciated.

There is the banned addons (wiki) section in our Wiki, which is by no means a definitive list. But I'm sure you'll get the idea.
Anything that is remotely illegal in terms of getting online videos, as films/tvseries/sports/etc, or music, for which you normally should pay a fee of some sorts, is off-limits here.

@HugoL @AchillesPunks fantastic work, thanks!

Thanks for the update - really great.

There are 2 minor issues that I've seen:
1. Widget headers scrolling (with plot scroll enabled) is fixed on home, but they still scroll in hubs (have fixed it by reducing font size slightly in includeshub.xml).
2. On Bingie episodes view the white frame that selects the episode appears correctly when I press right from the season to episodes, but then disappears as soon as I scroll up or down through the episodes (have tried enabling  disabling fixed frame but makes no difference).

Any help on issue 2 would be appreciated.

Great update - love the circular navigation with "always on" menu and TV Show status.

One slight issue with TV Shows on main menu widgets - how do I disable the TVDB rating?

Oh, sorry. How would I post a reply with only a small section of his post? Sorry

Are you talking about the new TVDB rating on the RT/IMDB details row or on the footer?

The TVDB on IMDB/RT details row has no option to remove (via settings but I can point you to the xml or I guess I could add a setting).

I've just learned this myself. If you highlight some text of the person you want to reply to, a new reply option appears.  Hit the new reply option (make sure it's not the normal reply option) and it will quote just the highlighted text.

Nice feature!

WOW - thanks very much for the quick fix - working perfectly now!

Thanks for the update HugoL. Im just up and seen this so im going to get to work on it. The Mrs is gonna be peeved though... she hates my late nights playing with the mod.. but I love every second.
Thanks again.

@HugoL Thanks for the updates as always. I do hope that on the next update, you will give a bit of your attention towards the inaccurate display of the TV shows episode progress bars since I gave up trying to find the fix myself for almost a month now.
