i've been looking for a way to run the RecentlyAdded script in a more 'intelligent' way.
Running it everytime you enter the Home Screen if far from ideal, since many users are complaining it temporary locks up xbmc.
Using the new timer function to run the script every 30 minutes might also be overkill, since i only update my library once every few weeks.

Ideally, the script should only run once at startup and for the rest it should only run if the library has been updated.

To accomplish this, i've made the following changes to DialogMusicScan.xml and DialogVideoScan.xml:
[HTML]
<defaultcontrol>1111</defaultcontrol>
....
<control type="button" id="1111">
<posx>-10</posx>
<posy>-10</posy>
<height>1</height>
<width>1</width>
<texturefocus></texturefocus>
<texturenofocus></texturenofocus>
<onfocus>Skin.SetBool(LibraryUpdated)</onfocus>
</control>
[/HTML]

Next, in Startup.xml add a button to set a 'Startup' boolean:
[HTML]
<defaultcontrol always="true">10</defaultcontrol>
....
<control type="button" id="10">
<onfocus>Skin.SetBool(Startup)</onfocus>
<onfocus>ReplaceWindow(Home)</onfocus>
<texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
<texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
</control>
[/HTML]

Finally, in Home.xml add three buttons:
[HTML]
<defaultcontrol always="true">5043</defaultcontrol>
....
<control type="button" id="5043">
<description>visible at startup</description>
<posx>-20</posx>
<posy>-20</posy>
<width>1</width>
<height>1</height>
<texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
<texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py)</onfocus>
<onfocus>Skin.Reset(Startup)</onfocus>
<onfocus>SetFocus(9000)</onfocus>
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(Startup)</visible>
</control>
<control type="button" id="5043">
<description>visible after library update has finished</description>
<posx>-20</posx>
<posy>-20</posy>
<width>1</width>
<height>1</height>
<texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
<texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py)</onfocus>
<onfocus>Skin.Reset(LibraryUpdated)</onfocus>
<onfocus>SetFocus(9000)</onfocus>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Startup) + Skin.HasSetting(LibraryUpdated) + !Window.IsVisible(112) + !Window.IsVisible(133)</visible>
</control>
<control type="button" id="5043">
<description>visible in all other cases</description>
<posx>-20</posx>
<posy>-20</posy>
<width>1</width>
<height>1</height>
<texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
<texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
<onfocus>SetFocus(9000)</onfocus>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Startup) + [!Skin.HasSetting(LibraryUpdated) | [Skin.HasSetting(LibraryUpdated) + [Window.IsVisible(112) | Window.IsVisible(133)]]]</visible>
</control>
[/HTML]

As far as i can tell this works like a charm, but maybe i've missed something?
Any feedback is appreciated.
