mac mini is not that powerful, it's not an imac or mac pro but 50% cpu usage is a bit strange but i dont know really, maybe somebody with a mac mini can give us a hint, on my imac late 2012 it's 20 %



with NOX 5 it's 3-4 %

confluence: 3%

Aeon MQ5 : 6-7 %

Library watchdog plugin tends to use a lot of CPU power. If you use it, try and disable it and see if it makes a difference.

MacMini 2013:

[Surlias]

you have to change the Viewtype_AddonWall.xml...
it's quit easy: change line 573 into

Code:

<!--colordiffuse>FF727171</colordiffuse-->

so you don't get the "diffuse" looking... So you habe the diffuse effect only on the covver

and line 613 into

Code:

<!--animation effect="zoom" center="90,134" start="100" end="140" time="160" tween="cubic" reversible="false">Focus</animation-->

to stop the zoom effect...

I don#t like this changes but it's you choise...

Ok so I tried this and it doesn't seem to be working. Doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

I decided to do a find and replace all entries dealing with either a zoom effect or that particular color diffusion, and that worked, but I'm sure that it will have other undesirable consequences.

I think I will leave the zoom effect active, since when both the dimming effect and zoom is removed, you can't really tell what movie is selected (other than by what appears in the info panel).

So, I guess I just need to figure out which line to change to get rid of the dimming effect, not the zoom effect. Any idea which line it actually is?

For all they want test it... Includes_WidgetLayout.xml

Does this include the modifications made in here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=195249 for the Cases mod in other views?

that's only cases on widgets... not more...

OK then, would it be possible to get the specific changes to the file Includes_WidgetLayout.xml for the cases on widgets mod? I ask because if I use the other mod, the same file is used, so I will lose those modifications if I use this one. This becomes very complicated to follow! lol

Anyone know if it would be possible to add a "filesize" flag to library views?

Is there somewhere to tell custom widgets on the home screen to update?

Yes, there is a menu related to widgets in the menu customizer. Go the category with the custom widget, hit enter and choose the selection related to widgets (next to the Smart Playlist Manager). From there, you can set the widgets to update on a timer or whenever you access the home screen.

You need to enable Backend Mode in skin settings and install the extended info script. There is also a script related to movie sets. I'm not sure if that is necessary. I'm also not sure if you have to re-scrape your movies or run the artwork downloader after these scripts are in place, but those are the prerequisites to make that animation work. Make sure you have all of the necessary scripts installed by checking the section related to scripts in skin settings; they are the ones in green.

"watchdog plugin" Should be in add-ons / services. If you didn't install it then you don't have it and you don't have to worry about it.

I don't know if someone has mentioned this yet, but I believe he also needs to have run Artwork Downloader with "disc art" enabled (which itself requires movies be sorted into individual folders AFAIK). I didn't know about the individual folder requirement initially, so I had to reorganize my library accordingly. Using Files2Folders sped things up for me.

_______________________________________

Now, I also have a question about the movie set showcase view. Everything seems to be working well, except I can't seem to change the layout "style". It seems stuck in the "Fanart" layout, and trying to change to either the "Posters" or the "4 Thumbs" layouts doesn't do anything:



Any ideas?

[LEDFan]

I don't know how LEDFan have enable this flag language in episode info (NFO file ? Modifie database ? Add metadata in XVid file ?).

For MKV, it's easy to add language flag with MKVMerge.

It comes from NFO file Mike. BTW thanks a lot for the changes. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Mike, would you have an idea on how to also add the audio and subtitle languages flags in the widget?




Oh, if someone could figure out how to display the correct MPAA certification in the widget, that would be nice. Actually, it displays Not Rated but this certification shown there should be TV 14.

I tested it and as I though it doesn't work if I use the other mod here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=195249

If I use your file Includes_WidgetLayout.xml for the audio cases in the widget, I lose my cases in the widgets for the movies! SO, it's like either use one to get some features and loses the other ones! That's exactly why I'm asking if it would be posssible for you to just tell us what to add in the file Includes_WidgetLayout.xml for audio cases in the widget.
