Is there any setting that can be changed in the fanart grabber to force it to update every X seconds? Just thinking from the point of you of family users who will be used to look at shelf now for new episodes but if the shelf doesnt update automatically then they would think their was no new episodes.
I think the issue here is not that it's not refreshing, but that the items are not sorted properly. Basically the shelf is a "window" into your library. So, the content you see listed when you set the shelf to "new episodes" is the same you see when you go into your library, into "recently added episodes". Except there, it's sorted ascending by date by default (which is what you want when you always want to see the latest episodes first). Unfortunately there is no way (yet) to use content targets AND set the sorting method.
Which is also why I addded 'In Progress" as a choice for the shelf. Big advantage to me is that it will always show the most recent unwatched items, per tv show. So if you have multiple unwatched episodes per show, it will show the oldest one every time. Plus you'll won't have the same fanart coming by multiple times. The big disadvantage there is that it will not lead you straight to the unwatched episode, it will lead to the seasons node of the tv show in question and you still have to navigate further manually. There's nothing I can do about that unfortunately.
That said though, I will look into using the library data provider add-on to provide a recommended episodes list. Hopefully that will provide more satisfying results. It's possible it will come with a bit of a performance hit though.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add...er#General
So would that be the local media location? Would I do something like this?
PHP Code:
<texture>Stringcompare($INFO[ListItem.Art(clearlogo),path_to_media_location])</texture>

If you look at the top left, the letters of the alphabet, for research, they affect the info "Movies (movie) title. Therefore I think it would be a single shift to the right a little. How I could do? if you do not change you?
thx
The window title should hide when the sortletter is showing. Fixed, thanks.

Yes, I may have some small adjustments to do here and there. But there will always be a chance of posters getting cut of though because the movie posters provided by themoviedb.org are 1000*1500 and the posters provided by thetvdb.com are 680*1000 (so 1020*1500). And because I want to have a uniform look I set the aspect ratio to scale. I could set the aspect ratio to stretch so they aren't cut of, but then the images will be distorted. I rather have them cut slightly than distorted.
, but when I watch Refocus the family, they say "oh there is a bug " I really think that little detail makes the difference with other skins and I'm sure to see Refocus that will become this year the best for all skins on all Gotham install. I can put my balls cut if i not know if to be truly this one . ha ha ha
