Kodi bug maybe ? The script doesn't have impact on what items to show in that filebrowser... It just shows whatever Kodi decides what should show up. This has always been that way... I do not know better than you must add some sources to the file manager...

Yeah, looking into this I think something might be off with my development machine. Although it's strange nothing have ever appeared before...

Thanks for getting back so fast Smile


EDIT: It has nothing to do with this amazing script. Sorry for the confusion.

Would it be possible to create more fanart background options?

I would really love these:
  • SkinHelper.AllVideosBackground: movies and tv shows
  • SkinHelper.RecentVideosBackground: movies and episodes
  • SkinHelper.InProgressVideosBackground: movies and tv shows

Or something similar.

This would allow me to replace several scripts with this one.

Cheers
Gade

marcelveldt, let me join the others in saying this is an awesome script! I'm looking into replacing my custom window with your color picker. I'd like to use a colors.xml to customize the list of colors and I would like to display them in a particular order.

Is there a way to format the colors.xml so the colors are displayed in a particular order? I've tried flipping their order in the xml, changing the names, etc, but I can't figure out how they are ordered. Nothing seems to affect their placement in the dialog.

Thanks!

Edit: Looks like they are presorted by their color value? Any way to just display them sequentially from the colors.xml file?

Marcel, I know you said earlier on that opening a tv show for either "because you watched" or "tv show in genre" works correctly...but I am afraid it does not. I delved into the code and noticed that for both Movies and TV Shows you are passing the "file" attribute as the url to the listitem.

This basically results in

Code:
smb://DISKSTATION/share/TV/Band of Brothers/
for tv shows and

Code:
smb://DISKSTATION/usbshare1/movies/Howl's Moving Castle (2004)/Howl's Moving Castle (2004).mkv
for movies

So for movies everything is great and it plays the movie, however for tv shows it is not.

Looking further into the code you have some parts where a call to ActivateWindow is used eg.

Code:
tvshowpath = "ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://tvshows/titles/%s/,return)" %str(item["tvshowid"])
                tvshowpath="plugin://script.skin.helper.service?LAUNCHAPP&&&" + tvshowpath

which seems to be the ideal thing to use in the above cases...unfortunately that does not work as there seems to be no LAUNCHAPP entry point.

I could keep on debugging but you mentioned it works correctly for you is that still the case?

I fixed the above for both because you watched and genres by using:

Code:
tvshowpath = "ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://tvshows/titles/%s/,return)" %str(item[1]["tvshowid"])
        path="plugin://script.skin.helper.service?action=LAUNCH&path=" + tvshowpath
        xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]), url=path, listitem=liz)

There's a couple of others in there using the non existent LAUNCHAPP (favourites etc)

If you want a PR for this let me know.

Cheers

Could you please check latest Git ? I've put in a small check to not presort the colors if the list is provided by the skin...

Aha, thanks for spotting this. There was some old code mixup in there. It should now all be fixed on Git, can you check ?

Latest git works great! Took me a while, but here's what I came up with. Thanks again!

Edit: One issue I had, I couldn't get the texturenofocus for the buttons to show up when customizing the skin.
