Oh also, the Next Aired TV script is being updated. New features added. Not sure if you'd like/need to make any changes to what is displayed.

Also is it possible to make the movie widget work from a smart playlist? I have two menu items for movies and 3D movies that point to smart playlists based on the file path. Would be great to have separate recently added widgets for each.

First impressions was a little like many others that it was not as nice as AN4.. but I think I'll come around when its done.

Hoping for more banner views

This might be a Gotham issue or already posted but : I'm scraping my Concerts as TVShows and i got an extra [/B] in the title

Code:

<episodedetails>
    <title>[COLOR white][B]Kris Kristofferson[/COLOR][/B][COLOR gray]: [/COLOR][COLOR silver]Live From Austin, TX[/COLOR]</title>
    <showtitle></showtitle>

Reason for posting.. just want to say thanks for continuing with AN! Cheers

e: I think this is because the title is now in bold by default, but in AN4 it was'nt (?). Well guess I got to make some excel file and crank out new nfo..

I am not good at photoshop and since most of the albums i listen do not have cdart i got all the images online and so they are not perfect. Now when i play in AN5 i get the white around the cdart and i am trying to see if there is something in the skin that i can change so it does not show up. The reason i ask is i do not get this when using in MQ5 so i know there is a way to do this.

If it is not easy i understand but wanted to see if there is a file that i can modify. This will be easier for me than creating the 3000 pngs using photoshop :p

Thanks in advance

Thats because its using a diffuse texture probably. I'll see if I can post some code.

Good to hear

Already possible. Install the script.shortcuts script, restart XBMC, enable custom submenus and then you can manage the submenu in the main menu customizer.

What's the benefit of having a different includes_home.xml?

Why an extra condition? I have test it with this include (FallbackMenu) and it works fine.
Ok the idea behind is. If somebody want mod the home menu, so you make a new includes_home.xml maybe includes_home2.xml.
In this new includes_home2.xml you can make a own FallbackMenu. Let me say why, for example a home menu like in Xperience1080
have not so many home menu entry but a lot of sub menu entry like in the panel. Or like in Droid it is the same.

Ok then you only make a conditional include in the home.xml and finish. And all menu settings are done.

Because in the fallbackmenu hte includes depend on wether they are enabled or not, in the customizers I want to show them always, also if they are disabled. So I would have to make

Code:

<include condition="IsEmpty(Skin.String(PicturesHomeItem.Disable)) | Window.IsActive(1126) | Window.IsActive(1121)">PicturesMainMenu</include>

(2014-02-11, 10:26)StinDaWg Wrote: BigNoid, performance wise, do you recommending turning on dirty regions with this skin, and if so, what settings? 1,2,3? nofliptimeout? With Nox 4 I used to have to use region 1/noflip 1000 to get 60 fps in all menus. In Nox 5 I get 60fps regardless so I don't know if it's even worth using or if XBMC has changed since then and doesn't recommend custom settings anymore.

If you disable it in the advancedsettings.xml it defaults to 3 with 0 nofliptimeout. I have seen some strange side effects with 1 and 1000 noflip and because of that I have it on default nowadays. Its been on my list to find a reproducible case with the default skin and make a trac ticket.

In the top left you can see by default we are in: ALL TV CHANNELS:


When you bring up the menu from the left, select TV Channels to change channel group, you can't see which channel group you have chosen because the menu is covering the text in the top left:


Maybe "TV Channels" in the menu should be the channel group you are currently in?

(2014-02-07, 22:15)BigNoid Wrote: @smiffy1989: Good catch. I never bothered making groups in the pvr demo. Will do that and see if I can find a good solution. There are probably more quirks like that in PVR section as I have to guess how people use it (as I dont use pvr myself). If you find anymore please let me know.

It should be noted that this strange behavior does not happen when the navigation style is in fixed mode, only in the default one.

Edit:
I'm using XBMC nightly Feb 2 and the latest Nox 5.0.
