thanks for the script nuka
i have added some lines to the code to get tv shows names,but as is my 1st time playing with scripts it's i'm not 100% sure if it's the best way to do it...
Code:

so skinners are interested.
i can add more info. looks like jezz added showtitle already cf2009. so i can add any info skinners want.
i can put this in the svn once skinners decide what all info you want.
it would be best to name them according to their info.

2 <field>In Nazi Germany during World War II, as the tide turned in favor of The Allies, a cadre of senior German officers and politicians desperately plot to topple the Nazi regime before the nation is crushed in a near-inevitable defeat. To this end, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an Army officer convinced he must save Germany from Hitler, is recruited to mastermind a real plan. To do so, he arranges for the internal emergency measure, Operation: Valkyrie, to be changed to enable his fellows to seize control of Berlin after the assassination of the Fuhrer. However, even as the plan is put into action, a combination of bad luck and human failings conspire on their own to create a tragedy that would prolong the greater one gripping Europe.</field>

it may be possible to use unfinished movies or tv shows with the proper query.
changed properties and added artist to latest songs
- skunkm0nkee - 2009-06-25
Great stuff Nukka, thanks for this
- Nuka1195 - 2009-06-25
PHP Code:
sql_movies = "select movieview.*, bookmark.timeInSeconds from movieview join bookmark on (movieview.idFile = bookmark.idFile) order by movieview.c00 limit %d" % ( RECENT_NUMBER, )
that returns a list of movies that are unfinished. i set the same properties, so it is not an issue.
so i need to know how skinners wish to determine which list the script should return.
i can add script settings or skinners could add a skin setting that i can check. the issue with skin setting is you're probably limited to a bool, which means only two types of sources. the issue with script settings is the script would have to be in the scripts window unless the skinner has a setting that calls the script with a parameter. then the script can open the settings.
np skunkmonkee, i'm glad skinners are using this, i like the idea.

Yep, selecting an item should start it playing
I've just released a new version of MiniMeedia, it hasn't made it into this release but I have got some code up and running so it should be in the next release. I just needa a bit more time to perfect and polish how it looks and fits in with the rest of the Home screen.
Nice idea dt1000 and nice python coding Nuka (btw I would think that passing a parameter to the script would probably be the most flexible way to call it?)
- dt1000 - 2009-06-25
Wow...
That's pretty impressive stuff. Nice job, Nuka. Thanks very much.
I'll try to integrate it into my MediaStream Hack tonight.
Questions:
How do I run the script and what code do I need to add to the skin?
Jezz_X, could you share your method please? (I prefer it to my original design - excellent work!)
Suggestions:
My original intention was that this list would not display watched items.
Is there a way to filter the data so it only contains unwatched media?
Also, I would love Latest TV to be grouped by series. That way, for example, if you have just added two episodes of, say, Dexter, it will show you the first of the two only, and then any other new series beneath it.
This way it would avoid cluttering the menu with multiple episodes from the same season when all you should be interested in is the first unwatched one.
I have to say that i am well impressed at how quickly you guys have turned a rough concept into an actionable implementation. I can't wait to get it working. Great stuff, everyone!
Request for this functionality to be supported nativly via XBMC's skinning-engine? - Gamester17 - 2009-06-25
Is there anyway to get this supported nativly in XBMC's skinning-engine, without using python?
Someone submit a request on trac for it?
...I got nothing against python for plugins/script, but skins should IMHO not need to use python.

The disadvantage of this is if you have "Update the Library on startup" turned on the info may be out of date until you exit and enter the home screen (causing the script to run again)
- dt1000 - 2009-06-26
OK, so I got it working...
It took me a while to get the script to fire so I've only had time to do a panel for movies. I ended up just including it in the autoexec script.
Once I get Movies perfect I'll duplicate it for TV.
You can click on the movie names to play them, no problem, although I've noticed that the auto-resume functionality doesn't work. If anyone has any tips on that I'd appreciate it...
Also, the image scaling on the Fanart is really poor quality - maximum jaggies. Is there anything I can do to make it a little better?
Will have some more input in the morning. Must... get... some... sleep...
