It would be nice to add the Artwork Beef to the Context menu for easy access instead of going to Information.

There is already Artwork Beef in context menu, in 'Manage...'.

@guilouz:
Maybe you have overseen that during all the caretakter-discussion?  

Can't test this issue I have no PVR backend, I only use PVR Simple Client and I have no arts with that.   

Maybe you can use the existing Variables for DialogPVRInfo. I did a quick test with my PVR (VDR) and it is working fine. Have a look at these pictures:

used variables/INFO-tags:
$VAR[ClearLogoVar]
$VAR[BannerVar]
$INFO[ListItem.Icon] = ChannelIcon
$VAR[PVRArtworksVar] = Poster

Please change it a little bit to the way DialogVideoInfo looks like (without the actors)
BG is only blue btw. no Fanart
Thx 

 

 

Solo, have to agree with you. The current PVR Info screen could certainly do with a bit more love Is this the kind of format you are looking for? I created this a while ago:-



Guilouz, if you wish, I can send you my xml for this screen?     

I am not against improving the PVR info but I prefer to test my code before sharing it. The problem is that I do not have a correct PVR backend to do that.
If someone has something to share with me, I'm interested.

The number of steps to reach to Artwork Beef addon through Information, is 5 steps...

The number of steps to reach it through Manage, is 9 steps...

If you add it directly in the Context menu and place it at bottom of the list, it would be 2 steps...

The same you did in your discontinued skin of Kodi 17...

Yes of course I can share what I have with you. Check your messages for details.

It's integrated in 'Manage...' by addon not by me.

As i understand you could create a script to get the 'Manage' button into the 'c' context menu. A good idea, then less clicks is always user friendly.

This would duplicate those already present in 'Manage ...'. You can also press 'i' button and use Get all artworks button.

Hi Guilouz, thanks for your wonderful work. One question: is it possible to add "Random" order option to "Movies" item? (I'd like to press "Movies" menu item and list my movies in random order) Thanks!

Kodi core doesn't allow to do that. But you can do that with smartplaylist and point to this playlist in customize home menu, see : http://kodi.wiki/view/smart_playlists

I created the playlist, but how can I exclude the watched items from the list?

Just put a condition on Playlist

I think is "played =0"

Something like that :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Random unwatched movies</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="playcount" operator="is">
        <value>0</value>
    </rule>
    <order direction="descending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>

I can do something like this for PVR info :

Looks great, but when no coverart is available the picon is shown but scale is not oke.

Edit:
Something is wrong with the scaling of coverart (attached cover has a white bar on the top that is cut of)

It's the principle of scaling ^^ Try last git, I have replace scaling by keeping aspect ratio.
