Nobody? Also, what is the up/down arrow for after [BACK]?

[Piers]

Is version .25 still supported? Or should I really be using .29.

I'm having a couple of issues with updates from .27, or .28.

[Martijn]

Only latest is supported

[Piers]

Cheers for the reply. I've nearly implemented what I wanted to do with .29, will pop back in this thread for advice if needed.

Would it be possible to add "watched items" to "recommended episodes"? To explain, here's two contrasting use cases:

1) You are watching a brand new show. Recommended view shows you the next un-watched episode. Great, just what you want.

2) You decide to re-watch a show. You watch the first few episodes by browsing to them in the menus (all good so far). Now, in this case, the recommended view will not mention this show at all because all episodes are marked as watched. It would be great if recommended episodes could take this into account.

Sorting becomes tricky I suppose. For unwatched items it is easy, just get the unwatched episodes and sort by episode number.
For watched items, you'd need to fetch the latest watched episode, and then show the episode after that. A single database query it is not.

It sounds like a really messy feature, but is really the one thing I wish Kodi could do. I always have one or two watched shows in progress, so to speak. This would really help with keeping track of where one is.

I just mark a show as unwatched when I re-watch it.

[Martijn]

Sorry but there's no easy way to do that

apologies in advance if this isn't the proper place for this report. a week or two ago i noticed that when playing back tv shows from the ongoing tv show skin widget in arctic episodes were not being marked as watched. thinking that this may have been the result of me upgrading OE4 to OE5 i flattened my install and started from scratch. the problems persisted so i switched skins, trying both eminence and conq with similar results. in the course of creating a clean log for this post i noticed that if i leave the episode to play fully to completion, that is i do not press stop when the credits begin, then the show was being marked as watched properly. additionally if i start an episode from the widget and stop it halfway through a resume point is not created. however if i begin an episode from the tv library and stop it in the middle it does get created.

please let me know if anything is unclear or there is a better place to post about this.

This is actually a bug in the current XBMC stable release: that just-so-happens to affect playback from widgets.

It's been addressed in the latest test builds on that thread.

thanks for the heads up. hopefully this makes it into 14.1 but based on the thread and PR that seems far from certain at this point.

[Swifty]

Unfortunately I can't search the thread for this since it's shorter than the minimum search term, so I'll just ask (apologies if it is answered here already)..

Does (or is there any intention for) the skinwidgets addon to support PVR as a 'Recent' item to list?

Seems like it would be nice to be able to list the last 5-10 recordings in the same way that we can for TV/Movies, and maybe even the next 'n' recordings that are scheduled?

I know that there is some built in infolabel in Kodi for the 'next' recording, but I don't think it goes further than that?

How do I install this?

I was following the instructions here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Skin_Widgets

I did 1.Installing and 2. Setting with success (I am able to open and configure the script).
But 3. Dependency puzzled me. Which addon.xml file?
I think I found the right addon.xml file in ~/.xbmc/addons/service.skin.widgets/addon.xml (just guessing).

I edited with nano and added to <requires>
<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="3.00"/>
<import addon="service.skin.widgets" version="0.0.2"/>
...without the slighthest ideas what versions pertains to what.

4. Infolabels is so far beyond me.

I restarted the system... and nothings happens... What am I supposed to look for? Where shall the restults of this script appear?

I am on OpenElec 4.2.1 (which runs off XBMC 13.2?) on a Raspberry Pi with the (standard) Confluence skin (I guess running this skin qualifies me as a "skinner" as this is also a skin.....? )

This add-on is a tool for skin developers to implement certain features, hence it's in the development forum. Just installing this will do nothing for you.

Haha! That explains a great whole lot. Thanks!

Hi Martijn / anybody,

Quick question (a yes or no will suffice).. Is it possible to modify the <onclick> for recent album items to open the track listing for that item (as opposed to playing the album)?

Cheers,
Chris.
