Love it! thanks as ever Sharpe!....
One other quick Q- not sure if this is a skin thing or general XBMC thing....
I have tried to set "recently added" as my default view for movies (via "set as default in the context menu on the "Recently added" entry at the root of "Movies")
However this does not work....any ideas?
Cheers!

It's Xbox is it? And what exactly happens? Is that the volume doesn't show on the screen?

The main Movies control is hard coded to go direct to titles - I suspect that's why it won't do what you want. You would need to edit the home.xml to change that I'm afraid.

Jep Xbox
In the right corner the little speaker symbol shows up but there is no bar with a position showing only "Passthrough modus..." scrolling but no Bar with a pointer how loud it is
- Sharpe - 2010-05-14
Oh I'm no expert on this but isn't that something to do with passthrough audio being in use - ie it's being processed by your amp not xbmc and so the xbmc volume controls don't function.
Does it do the same with other skins?

Do you have "Digital output" selected in your XBMC system audio settings?
If so, you are describing the expected behaviour for any source with AC3 or DTS audio.

Cool - thanks for letting me know - maybe I'll have a little play around with home.xml then
Does it just require changing a single line?

Yeah pretty much.
If you are using the smaller film strip home controls layout:
Edit Home.xml in the 720p folder
Line = 1706
Change
Code:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>To
Code:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,recentlyaddedmovies)</onclick>If you are using the standard home controls layout:
Edit Home.xml in the 720p folder
Line = 2113
Change
Code:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>To
Code:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,recentlyaddedmovies)</onclick>- kiboy6 - 2010-05-17

Thanks so much as ever Sharpe - that worked beautifully
BTW - is there a reason why the recently added music list on the home screen now shows individual songs instead of albums? Ie if i add 4 new albums, the recently added music list will just show the 4 last songs from the last album, instead of the 4 new albums...

Yep I changed the behaviour of the script to so that it displayed the latest songs added. Seemed logical because when it was showing the most recent albums - you could only play the first song of that album not the whole album.
To change the bahaviour back - edit the home.xml in the 720p folder - look for line 2724 and alter albums=False to albums=True.

I see - yeah I guess that does make sense
Thanks for the tip if i want to change it back to showing albums. If i do that then could i play the whole album by pressing "play" rather than select on the entry in the "recently added" list? Or is that list hardcoded to link only to individual songs?Edit: I edited home.xml to try it out...one question....changing it has the desired effect, except the list is still of the first song off each of the most recently added albums. Not sure but didn't it use to be the album names?
Thanks as ever for all your amazing work and patience Sharpe! I think Backrow is really unique amongst all the XBMC skins - IMO it really is the most professional and polished of all the skins - not a single "rough edge"!
- Sharpe - 2010-05-23
Yeah the script changed since the older version I was using. To get the album name to display now you would need to alter lines 3207 - 3238 and change the instances of:
<label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestSong.1.Title)]</label>
to:
<label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestSong.1.Album)]</label>
For all items. Until a way is discovered to play the albums I'll be leaving it as it is - when that's in place I'll set up some sort of option.

Cool- Thanks Sharpe - I'll give that mod a whirl when i get a chance and keep my fingers crossed that XBMC allows the playing of the albums directly in the future

Quick feature feasibility question - didn't think it deserved a designated thread:
Would it be possible to designate an "extrafanart" folder, for the generic slideshow picture. (Ie when no artist fanart is present have a slideshow of several "generic music" fanarts from a specified folder instead of seeing only the default guitar image?)
Just a thought...thanks!
- Sharpe - 2010-05-28
yeah I'm sure it would - good idea I will add it to the to do list

Awesome - will really look forward to that.
Thank you!
