1) put it into a separate add-on
2) use way one (setting properties) because it´s easier to read and more friendly to non-coders

Will tackle that when i find some free minutes.

Can you point somewhere in script's code to look about the functions until you have the documentation ready ?

also keep in mind that PIL currently doesn't work on android at all:

The user should make sure that all wanted artwork is in the database.

phil65,

I would have though you need your NAS to wake up anyway, as you are looking for information on a listitem, thus you are about to play something. But I also understand you reasoning on this as well, so fair enough.

Another suggestion if I may.

It would be nice to be able to call a number of dialogs from within the skin. For example while we can code a custom version of a selection dialog or a yes/no dialog, we have already coded one of these, so why do we need to code it all over again? If I could provide two options to display and have the script return a result with either one of those options or a code to say that the user exited the dialog without choosing an option that would save recoding a yes/no dialog for each instance of a yes/no that I wanted to use.

Finally, love the blur idea. As to Ronie's post about Android not having a working PIL library, could you not just return the image unchanged if you can't find PIL. That way most platforms will have a working blur and when Android issue is sorted, so will they.

Quote:yesnodialog and selectdialog are already implemented. Example:

Code:

RunScript(script.toolbox,info=yesnodialog,header=Shutdown,text=$LOCALIZE[31149],yesaction=Dialog.Close(all,true)|Quit())

Quote:The blur stuff should be used in a senseful way, please don´t clutter your skins with it (depending on source image and blur radius it can take some seconds)
Not sure yet how to deal with the android situation. Will see.
