(2013-02-01, 00:39)ruuk Wrote: Version 1.1.8

Changes:

- Fix: Overlay video box will no longer display when audio is playing
- Added 'Manage Notifications' to the Options menu which opens dialog for toggling notifications and viewing new post/pm status. Context button toggles notifications on/off and selecting a forum will go to that forum
- Added 'Method' in notifications settings - Choose method of notification when no video is playing: Normal XBMC Popup, Small Dialog, Full Dialog
- Added 'Method (During Video)' in notifications settings - Choose method of notification when video IS playing: Normal XBMC Popup, Small Dialog, Full Dialog
- Added 'XBMC Notice Duration' in notifications settings - Set the number of seconds the XBMC popup will display

On my REPO.

Some notes:
The notification dialog (Full Dialog) is the same as the 'Manage Notifications' dialog. Selecting a forum will open Forum Browser and go to that forum.
The small dialog is a stripped down and smaller version of the full dialog.
I plan to add a timeout option on the dialogs so if set they will close automatically after a time, and an option to stop the close timer on dialog usage.

Changes:
- When selecting a forum from the online database, it now returns to the list
- When removing added forums, it now returns to the list after selecting a forum to remove
- Fixed bug not allowing color dialog to open on Dark skin
- Fix for encoding errors when viewing private messages
- Added unread subscriptions/PMs notify service
- Added 'Turn On/Off Notifications' to options menu which toggles for the current forum
- Added 'Notifications' section in settings with options for enabling, showing only on startup, and interval
- Forum usernames/passwords and other user data now saved in forum_settings/forumID for each forum instead of in settings.xml
- *Added conversion function to copy forum user data from settings.xml to forum data files

On my REPO.

Lot of changes in this one, most notably the notifications stuff.
Some notes on that:
* The interface is very basic for now, you toggle notifications for each forum from the options menu. I will add a dialog for managing notifications later.
* The only type of notification at this point is the normal XBMC notification, which will show for each forum that has new posts. There will be more options later
* Threads/Forums are counted as new unread if there was no unread post in the last check or the last check was longer ago then the check interval (ie. when the service loads, it loads the data from the last check, but ignores it if the time elapsed is longer than the set interval)
* PMs are the same as above, except that they are counted as new unread if the number of unread posts is at least 1 and has changed since the last check. This is because there is no way to tell when the count is the same if the posts are the same posts. This also assumes that if the count has gone down that the posts are new, which may be incorrect, but again there is no way for FB to know.
* The interval in settings is the time between updates, so if it takes ten seconds to get the forum info, the next update will happen INTERVAL minutes after that ends

The script I use to make the zips for the repo now copies the changelogs there as well, so as I update scripts, the changelogs will be added to the repo.
I noticed when I 'View Extra Info' on a user on xbmc.org, the reputation is in that info. I don't know if that is new or was always there. In any case, after I'm done working on the notifications stuff, I will probably add some options to set what is displayed in the posts list view below the status and 'group' info. Probably a list of stats in order of priority, so that it will show what it can when available.

Changes:
- Added PIP video overlay so you can continue to watch video while browsing forums. Pausing video will hide the overlay.
- Added setting 'Hide Video Overlay'

On my REPO.

This adds a video overlay to the main windows when video is playing. If video is not playing, the windows are the same as before. As stated above, pausing a video will hide the overlay.
This allows watching video while browsing forums, which while useful on it's own, will be helpful in the future as I explore new post notify options (for example options to jump to the new post while you are watching a video, or pause video and ask to jump to new post while watching a video, etc.

Also, I can confirm that shutting down XBMC while Forum Browser is running no longer hangs XBMC on the Frodo final release. Hooray!

(2013-02-01, 17:21)hasselhof Wrote: ran into a non focus issue

what I was doing was changing over from white to dark skin, tried to change the colour of dark skin border, which went fine
I changed back to white skin, restarted fb then back to black skin to see if it remembered my colour change, it did ok.
Then I changed back to white skin restarted fb to continue checking things but it lost focus,
I can highlight "options" and "change forum" buttons as I'm not logged in at this stage but I can't click them
I'm not sure if this could be something to do with down time on xbmc.org ?

see log

if I then browsed your repo via programs / add-ons / forum browser/ and press info on my remote while
highlighting forum browser I get "no info found", but once I install forum browser I get the change log ok
I'm sure I saw one of the repo's available that showed the change log before installing anything, but can't remember which one it was
no big deal anyway

What might be nice is that it starts the original video back up once you've watched the new video, maybe not possible.

When It happened before, the xbmc.org website had downtime
which I was able to confirm by typing into google " is xbmc.org down" a web page did a check and it said it was,
so this might be the problem, as it was in the process of logging in at the time, as I had switched FB skin & was restarting FB

I'm going to switch to Transparency! skin I'll let you know how I get on.....

By the way when FB lost focus I tried restarting XBMC and FB still loaded non focused I couldn't get rid, I uninstalled it via XBMC re-installed, but it was still the same(could have been the downtime) I ssh'ed in and deleted all the relevant folders belonging to FB, re-installed and it worked straight away. If it happens again I will try to get a better log
