It's probably $LOCALIZE[161] From Kodi's language strings. Without checking it'll definitely be in the file "IncludesVariables.xml" but may also be in the various "Views?.xml" files

Thanks for the reply. I found the following two lines in IncludesVariables.xml:

Line 596: <value>$LOCALIZE[161]</value>
Line 602: <value>$LOCALIZE[161]</value>

I deleted those lines and now the plot is blank for any items in my library that do not have a plot entered which is exactly what I wanted. Is that the correct way to achieve it though? Will deleting those two lines cause any issues for me?

Should be fine, it's just a fallback label for when there's no plot available

Hello Mudislander. I´ve just a problem to create a working submenu in music with a playlist. Everything seems first ok, but if I chose the submenu with the playlist it starts playing with the first item in the playlist and I cannot see any other items. Did I something special wrong or do I have to uncheck in something in the settings? The playlists works fine for Videos.

You need to expand your problem, as there are so many different possibilities I can't just answer your question, as I'd have to try and re-create your scenario to see if I get the same issue.

First thanks for your answer.

I created a intelligent music playlist for a few music albums.
If i view the list in the main menu I can see all albums and can choose one to play (hear).

If I create a submenu in Music with the my playlist entry (I follow the way to choose a playlist) I get a submenu with the playlist and the name I created.
I choose this submenu button and it starts immmidiatly to play the first entry in the playlist but it doesn´t show the playlist with the albums.

If I do the same for the video playlists it works fine - I did the same with the music playlists and its just playing the first entry and does not show up the playlist entrys as it do with the video entrys. I tried this on several systems but got every time the same.

Hope this will help??

So you want to browse your playlist, not play it? CCM plays music playlists but browses video playlists. You could still do it by adding a submenu item and right at the bottom there is "Kodi Command" choose that and in the popup window type something similar to :-

Code:

ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,special://profile/playlists/music/MyPlaylist.xsp)

Where the playlist is called MyPlaylist.xsp and is in your kodi music playlist folder.

Then in next popup name the submenu item.

Thank you. Its exact what I looked for.

On the exit menu, the color of the selected item is black. Can't i just make it blue like the normal Confluence?

I cant find a way to change this.

Thanks

It's black Have an idea on how to be able to change it, but it's way down the to-do list.

Ok, thanks...

It's just the contrast of black, with black it's not really good

Do I have to download this via Hybrid Repo or can I just install the zip from github:

Hey Mud,

Great work on the skin;
Any chance you could add a volume control for when playing Music? (i.e: when playing MP3 files).
~ I'm currently using 3.0.9 of CCM for Helix... if you've happen to added one to a later release, let me know & I'll update. :-)

Safer to use the repo, meets dependencies and auto updates, plus at the moment I think the github is actually behind the last release

Sure, I know of a few others who want volume control during playback. Just buttons like the previous CCM or have you got a better idea?

The repo version will usually move a little faster as the media folder in it will be packed into an .xbt file...

My setup:
Pi 2
OSMC
CCM - Helix

My question:
How do I get upnp favourites shortcuts to display their associated icons?

Upnp sources are pointing to my PlayOn server. Ive added Netflix, Amazon Instant, etc. to Favourites. My goal is to display shortcuts WITH icons on the home screen. I was able to create add-on shortcuts that displayed the link text but no associated icon.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Difficult one, as I've got no way of testing.
But as a very dirty ugly hack what you could do is edit your guisettings.xml while Kodi is not running -make a safe copy first

Make sure you know what number addon set and which one your short is (I presume you're adding to the addons ?) Also get a copy of the icon and place it where you can find it. Better not in the skin folder as any updates will overwrite it.

Look in the guisettings.xml for the item and edit the path to the icon as below - be careful not to damage the <tag>...</tag> structure.

Code:

<setting type="string" name="skin.ccm.helix.AddonSetOne.1.Label">PleXBMC</setting>

<setting type="string" name="skin.ccm.helix.AddonSetOne.1.Icon">C:\Users\Bruce\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.plexbmc-3.4.5\icon.png</setting>

<setting type="string" name="skin.ccm.helix.AddonSetOne.1.Path">RunAddon(plugin.video.plexbmc)</setting>
