Ive been trying for some time with no luck adding more recently added movies and tv shoes to the home screen. can anyone point me in the direction of how i would do this and what files i need to modify. i simply want to display about 10 recently added movies or tvshows. if there is any more info you need ill provide that. but ive searched the forum and tweaked some files and used the wiki with no luck thanks in advance.

I'm using RC2 and the default skin confluence. i dont know what else would be relevant or needed to help me out. thank you

Edit: I had nothing better to do, so I whipped something up for you. Do the first two changes below (Home.xml and Startup.xml (if you use that function)), backup your IncludesHomeRecentlyAdded.xml file and replace with the contents of this link:
http://pastebin.com/Lme2MeKs (use the "download" link to the right and overwrite your old one).

After:


I also edited the way the posters work, to make them scroll through as you scroll the list.

I hope it works (does here, but you never know).

1. Open up skin.confluence/720p/Home.xml in a text editor, and go to line 719, part of this control:

Code:

<control type="button" id="8999">
    <description>Run Recently added</description>
    <posx>-20</posx>
    <posy>-20</posy>
    <width>1</width>
    <height>1</height>
    <label>-</label>
    <font>-</font>
    [b]<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.recentlyadded,limit=4)</onfocus>[/b]
    <onfocus>SetFocus(9000)</onfocus>
    <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
    <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
    <visible>Skin.HasSetting(homepageHideRecentlyAdded)</visible>
</control>

The bold part is what needs changing (line 719). The 'limit' controls the number of items fetched. Increase this to 10 and you get ten items. Easy as pie.

2. There is also a line in skin.confluence/720p/Startup.xml that might need changing, if you update your library on startup:

Code:

<control type="button" id="9">
    <description>Trigger to Auto run the Latest media python after a 1 min delay if scan on startup is enabled</description>
    [b]<onfocus>XBMC.AlarmClock(UpdateRecentAdded,XBMC.RunScript(script.recentlyadded,limit=4),1,true)</onfocus>[/b]
    <onfocus>SetFocus(10)</onfocus>
    <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
    <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
    <visible>system.getbool(videolibrary.updateonstartup) + !Skin.HasSetting(homepageHideRecentlyAdded)</visible>
</control>

Same thing here, edit the bold part (line 7 of the file).
