Hi,

The Amber skin got automatically updated to version 1.2.5. In the past I would edit the includes.xml file to change the standard movies button to point to a self-made playlist. This was achieved by editing the includes.xml to:

Code:

    <item id="4" description="MyMovies">
        ...
      <onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,"special://skin/playlists/movies.xsp",return)</onclick>
      </item>

With the new updated skin this is slightly changed and the MyMovies part in the includes.xml now links to a new CustomMoviesHomeButton.xml file. This gives a nice new feature to change the behaviour of the standard movies button, but as I have tested it not exactely like I want it (I would like it to open directly a specific playlist, not all playlists). Is this correct?

If this is not possible via GUI configuration, could somebody give me some guidance in how need to incorporate the above in the new CustomMoviesHomeButton.xml file?

Thanks

Just do it the same way you did it earlier - don't mind CustomMoviesHomeButton at all.

Hi Pecinko.. just had a look at the new version and saw that you had implemented this.. Almost does what i want but not quite.. thanks for the change though

Edit : Would it be possible to add and option to go to a specific UNC path or favorite?

Hi Peckino, thanks for the suggestion, works like charm again.

The request from danmedhurst although would be very helpful (currently I have disabled the auto-update feature for the add-ons

Hi! Amber looks great, thanks for the skin. Are you going to implement language icons? I got my movies either in english or german and some even with both language tracks, so an icon would help out there!

I've just tested 1.2.5 and vertical alignment looks good now but I've still had to revert back to 1.0.9 because the Arial No Caps font is still a lot narrower than the Arial font used in 1.0.9. One of our XBMC systems is running on a 24" screen in a bedroom and the Arial font (as well as the default all caps font) is just too narrow to be comfortably read from a distance, while the 1.0.9 Arial font is easy to read at the same distance.

Here's an offer - you edit Arial no caps to your liking and I will include it in the skin.

Edit Font.xml from skin.amber/1080i - section <fontset id="Arial nocaps" unicode="true" idloc="31391"> ONLY

Put a keymap.xml file in ../userdata/ folder with the following content:

PHP Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> 
<keymap> 
    <global> 
        <keyboard>  
            <f5>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</f5>
         </keyboard> 
    </global> 
</keymap> 


and you will be able to refresh skin with F5 key so you can test your changes on-the-fly : Increase font size in Arial no caps section, save changes, hit F5 to see the change in the skin.

I've downloaded 1.2.6 from Github but when I install it from zip it doesn't seem to work.

Here is my log file:

Nevermind. Subtitles work fine, I *wasn't* on the frodo branch.

I haven't asked for repository version update yet as I have couple of other things in the queue.

Seems like update is being processed, old version gets unloaded and then XBMC reloads old version instead of a new one.

[danmedhurst]

Has there been a change to the Recently Added widget? It seems like it's not showing posters for anything that i've got local content for.. But if i let XBMC scan the internet then it displays them... I have to change the poster art manually and then it shows up... any ideas?
