Is there any chance of adding support for the script.metadata.actors?

Sorry, but development on that script stopped a while ago & it does have problems on Frodo. It's a pity because I have used it previously but I will not include a script that's just going to give me grief.

quick one on the subject of the certifications/ratings. I'm in the uk and am having some issues. feel free to tell me to get lost if this isnt skin related. i have tried scraping with TMDB and with UNIVERSAL SCRAPER (and have both setup to use UK ratings.

Here's the issues:

Does it have to be called "MPAA rating"? i presume the MPAA is an american thing?

I think it would be cool if the user could edit some of these categories for example I would have

"IMDB Rating" instead of "Rating"
and I would have "Rated" instead of "MPAA Rating"

what do you reckon?

Are you talking about the Movie Info Screen ?

What about leaving "Rating" as is and changing "MPAA rating" to "Certification" ?

After I recently looked again at the first page of the CCM thread I might also add that a first time user might not even see anywhere all of the capabilities that CCM offers. The first post isnt very up to date, and it only has 1 image.

I see a lot of posts in the main Confluence skin thread asking how to get functionality that CCM already offers.
These posts often also seem to be from owners of low powered devices, since there is a profileration of them enteing the market now.

Just imagine how many users/downloads there might be if more people where easily advised of all of the functionality that CCM offers...

So, I made a small effort to maybe do something about that...

Thanks for that. Yep 1st post needs editing - For now I've just thrown in your Gallery

Talking about requests in Confluence forum there's one more thing that gets asked every now and again - to increase the number of submenu items. I've never bothered because it means tearing up and re-doing a whack of code, but have decided while I'm on wife's laptop & can't sync properly it's a good time to play around. So working on increasing submenu items to 10 per submenu set.

You are welcome, just trying to help since most developers love developing, but hate writing docs.

My setup is orientated towards to low powered devices, so should work well on aTV, iPad1, other Tablets, RPi, and other small boxes.

Maybe some other uses will also create galleries from more powerful fat boy machines <<<< users see here please
- with all options switched on, and showing CCM in full power mode. It doesnt take too long to take the screenshots and write a description for each one showing what features are in use. (how to create free Imgur gallery: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1461374 )

...working on increasing submenu items to 10 per submenu set.

Wow, this could be cool - it certainly is a sort after feature. I guess this means the size ill be reduced a little bit to fit them all in? Or will there be 2 rows?

I also update the summary with a couple of things, and to get it on a current page.

That would be cool Also anyone want to try set up a wiki page ? I don't have the time + wiki code is evil

Scrolling submenu with 5 items visible at all times, ATM 2 drawbacks - the alignment, just needs fine tuning. Secondly using a wraplist which unfortunately if there's only 1 item in the list will show it five times. Might leave it at that to get it working & then adjust afterwards, once you guys have had a chance to test and comment.

I came across this, and wasnt sure if it should be added here, but regardless Ill let you consider it since someone already wrote the code. Its for the next version of Trakt.tv (2.4.0), which is not yet released, but is committed on github.

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1466680

I modded Confluence skin so It can use the new feature of context menu (github version) that nate just commited.
I added a button "Trakt.tv" at the side left menu. When you click on it the context menu appear. Works with Movie and Tv-show library

[thebearnecessit]

just had a thought, something thats bugegd me for years.

when i click on a music track to play, can we have xbmc go straight to the music fullscreen view?

[Mudislander]

Interesting idea, will add maybe with à switch

Sorry but was talking from memory as away on phone, but that is the one I thought you wanted. What about the "Show Video OSD Menu" toggle - which hides everything?

Yes, this option hides info bar in pause; but now even if I click "i" button it doesn't show the info bar! Can you please fix that?

Thanks

Must have misunderstood what you wanted. The "Show Video OSD Menu" toggle was a previous request & works as intended

MY WISH;
Hi
As you know audio streaming from different sources (Online videos, audios, ... ) have different loudness
and I have do always bring Volume Lower or Higher
Any possibility to control with an option for constant Volume play from any source (like options that available
in televisions (ie. my sony tv.)
this will be very useful
thanks a lot for great skin
still I wish my last wish posted to have ( video description at to of screen like Hybrid)

By default, when you hit pause the info bar pops up. If you select not to show "Show Video OSD Menu", the info bar will not show up in pause; but in this case even if you hit "I" button you will not get the info bar. Is this on purpose?

Thanks

To help bring in more users that arent aware of how powerful and customisable CCM can be, can some other users please take the time to make a gallery this weekend? Please? Good efforts will be added to the 1st page of this thread

...anyone want to try set up a wiki page ? I don't have the time...

Is anyone willing to take this on to help Mudislander? Unfortunately its not something I myself can commit to.

Lets all help keep/make CCM as the most popular and supported modified version of confluence.

Nice job I will try to post a gallery this week-end. Just out of curiosity, what addons are you using for live tv, especially French tv?!

Thnaks

[jmh2002]

For Live TV I have the following AddOns installed from the XBMC repo: World News Live, NZ On Demand, and the biggy: FilmOn (in fact, for me 'NotFilmOn' - see below)

Naturally there are other ways to get various channels, like the Live Streams AddOn, etc, but most of those require more work and channels come & go it seems.

FilmOn has a big selection of channels, and since the streams are coming from a real company (http://www.filmon.com/) they do all the work keeping the (legal) streams up and running. You can also subscribe if you wish to get HD streams, etc.

Language wise it includes English, German, Italian, Arabic, French, Russian, Latino, and Asian channels. Not a huge selection but normally similar to what is available 'free to air'. UK has a large number of good channels.

In French I am only getting Arte, France 2, France 3, France 5, iTele, M6 Boutique, and TV5 Monde Europe, but its enough for me or sometimes guests.

Additionally the AddOn called 'NotFilmOn is also available from an alternative repo (PM me if you need details), which is basically the same AddOn, by the same developer, but without any geo blocking. Useful for those of us living in foreign countries

Where are you located? Hope this helps
