3 quick questions if anyone can help me out...
1. Is there a kiosk mode?
2. On my 32" screen I really struggle to read the text in the tv/movie information ie the synopsis.
3. i have a smart playlist on my home screen but is there a way to make xbmc play the playlist instead of showing its contents?
1. No
3. Set the smartplaylist as a favourite and then add that favourite to the main menu, script.favourites addon will ask if you want to open the playlist contents, or start the playback. But there seems to be an issue with the window order, this dialog seems to open in the background at the moment. Will fix.

Will probably change it.

Download it from phil65's Github account and extract to your addons directory then open an infodialog for a movie, tvshow etc.

A minor summer vacation update is available in the repo.
Quote:1.0.8
- Set video nodes as main menu and submenu items
- New more lightweight busy dialog (credits to Pecinko for the inspiration and for the background graphic)
- Option to automatically activate fullscreen when music playback starts
- Fix artist slideshow not exiting properly when used as home background
- Added a reminder to configure Artwork Downloader when extra artwork is enabled in the skin settings
- Skin code parenthesis fixes
I have no way of testing the busy dialog, hopefully it's less cpu intensive on weaker machines. It's a bit lighter on a Core 2 Duo with dirty regions algorithm 3.

+1 - thanks, toiva! The new 'working' spinner (well, lack thereof) definitely reduces delays on tasks it's displayed on. Makes a difference on the Pi.
I'm also wondering if it might be worth using a little bit of motion in the dialog to indicate activity (as per MilhouseVH's suggestion) if doing so has negligible CPU-usage impact...
Glad to see you're still busy with this awesome skin :-)

Cannot be skin related.
There's something wrong with your library, it will disappear from the main menu and the skin setting will be greyed out if you don't have any music video content in your library.

Is there a way that I can add MPAA rating show up in Fanart View option in Movie library? If you look at 13th picture from the 1st post (Avengers), it shows 1080, H.264, DTS, 5.1 etc. I would like to add MPAA rating somewhere around there.

Open IncludesCodecFlagging.xml and delete line number 55 and it should show for movies.
I never noticed that the MPAA flagging is not working, so the MPAA flags from Confluence do not quite match the rest of the flags that are from PM3.HD.
