RE: Adding Plex's 'On Deck' feature to XBMC - Balinus - 2012-04-18
Hello,
what's the best way to use this script? Right now, I've the execution in Home.xml, with the <onload> command. Is there a better way?
Thanks a lot for any help!
RE: Adding Plex's 'On Deck' feature to XBMC - Hitcher - 2012-04-18
I think most of us are using this -
Code:
<onload condition="IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(Watchlist_Running))">RunScript(script.watchlist,...)</onload>RE: Adding Plex's 'On Deck' feature to XBMC - Balinus - 2012-04-18
ok, great! Thanks for the additional condition. I was using it without it.

you should stick with what you had.
the script itself will (and should!) check if it's already running.
RE: Adding Plex's 'On Deck' feature to XBMC - Hitcher - 2012-04-18
It just checks to see if it's already running in which case there's no need to run it again.

user uses Transparency!, which runs the script with limit=3
next, the user switches to xeebo.
xeebo checks if the script is already running, which it is, so doesn't run it again
result: user only sees 3 watchlist items on the xeebo home screen.

Wont that be the same even without the running check though if the script checks if it's running itself?
EDIT: And if it checks that it's already running how do we force an update?

nope, scripts are smart ;-)
the script will detect if there's already another instance of it running,
it will signal the first instance to quit, then start a new instance with the params you've passed to it.

Forgot about that - old age!
Anyway I've updated my original post to include this info and the readme.
Thanks ronie.

RE: [RELEASE] Watchlist script (was 'Adding Plex's 'On Deck' feature to XBMC') - Mudislander - 2012-04-30
Trying to debug a problem I've got, and thought i'd ask here as maybe? the script is part of the problem.
All working no problem under win7, but with openelec/linux I am missing watchlist album thumbs.
I know case sensitivity effects linux and I've got an unusual item list all of which needs going over but am trying to save a bit of work
and was wondering if anyone else had any issues with linux and album thumbs.
