Eddage Wrote:Is there a way to stop this skin from updating automatically?

I've made tweaks to some of the mediaflags and a couple of the views but every so often (about a minute ago) it decides to update itself and so overwrite everything I've done!

Machine-Sanctum Wrote:I myself use tagscanner. You drag some files into track list and hit export tracklist.
Had to do some thinkering to get it just the way i want it but it works.
You can do the same i think with many other programs like media monkey.
It's sort of a playlist but you store it as .nfo (as text or XML layout) and xbmc can work with that. As long as you stck to the rules of nfo files for xbmc.
Downside it you have to do this one album at a time or create one very large one.
I'll give that a try soon

The changes i made that it automaticly creates the NFO with the correct extension and in the correct folder. You can make some changes yourself as you see fit.
Just check what XML layout xbmc is expecting and what it supports.
In helpfile of tagscanner search for placeholder. There you will find the appropiate tagging

meridius Wrote:Hi there, love the skin but could u add one option that I would love.

I like to have marked watched on tv shows but it also does this on movies which I do not want, could you add an option to have watched selected just for tv shows and turned off for movies as at the moment you can only have it on or off for all

Thanks

Shinu Wrote:Tv Show trailers aren't supported in XBMC. I already asked elsewhere in the forum. Doubt it ever will be supported.

meridius Wrote:can there be an option added to carousel to disable wrap ? thanks

meridius Wrote:Also How do u disable auto skin updates
Cheers

LiLChris Wrote:I hope it will be supported, it seems silly not to.
In my case I have tons of Anime and it would be great if I can show them the trailer without having to go to the YouTube plugin.
