Hi All,

I recently installed the MQ5 skin, and have just spent the best part of a weekend configuring it to my liking. I have a couple questions thought that I hope someone can help me with:

1. Is it possible to remove the watched/unwatched information from the main home screen when highlighting the Movies and TV shows menu's. Im really not interested in this info, but cant find a way to remove it...Ive found a way to move it to between top/bottom of the screen under the Furniture menu, but dont see a remove/hide option.

2. Ive created several smart playlists for my movies and TV shows based on genre, and would like to set it up so that when I click on Movies or TV shows from the main screen, I instantly see a list of all my playlists by default, rather than seeing all moves/TV shows. Is this possible?

3. Im having an issue with rebooting or shutting down XBMC. whenever I go to the Shutdown menu and select either reboot or shutdown, the screen just freezes, and the only way im able to restore it is to either manually power my machine off, or send a reboot/shutdown command via SSH. Anyone got an idea how to fix this? Im using Openelec installed on a shuttle system, and other skins Ive tried were able to shut down or reboot without a problem.

Thanks for any help

1) I dont know of a way to do this within the skin. You would have to amend the skin code.

2) XBMC by default comes with a genre filter for both Movies and TV shows. You could add these to your home screen (settings sub menu > customise main menu). Off the top of my head (although I have never tried it so might not work), you could add the video playlist to your favourites and then add this to the home screen. The down side I see with this though is that it is going to bring up all of your playlists for both TV shows and movies.

3) I run openelec and the shut down button works for me. Make sue the shutdown function is set correctly in the settings, and if so enable debugging and have a look at the log.
