@Jeroen Would it be possible to add a file include tag at the bottom of https://github.com/jeroenpardon/skin.gri...cludes.xml ?

Code:

<include file="Includes_User.xml" />

And then add an empty file (but with a short comment of its purpose) Includes_User.xml to the xml directory ?
(To prevent an error message in the Kodi log of users not using this new file.)
And of course also add that file to your .gitignore file ( https://github.com/jeroenpardon/skin.gri....gitignore ) so that it never commits : /xml/Includes_User.xml

This way I only have to overwrite the empty Includes_User.xml in the /xml folder with my own version of the file, without having to edit Includes.xml.

I'm curious what you would put in that file...

Thanks for the info I wasn’t sure if it would count as a beta release and install with a different name. For anyone wondering I downloaded the skin as a zip file and it installed straight over the top.

If you're grabbing from the master branch, it will install over the official release, yes. Please note though that the master branch may contain unfinished or broken functionality.

I suppose that would be fine, however I don't think this will enable you to override existing includes if that is what you are after.

Sorry for the slowdown in development and activity. We've been busy with getting a new house along with other real life obligations. My goal is to get a new official release out in not too long as I will be on a holiday from mid december to the end of the year.

Been working on adding hubs to the video libraries. These would replace going to the movie / tvshow library root. They will be optional though enabled by default. You can add thing like recently added and in progress videos, but also online content acquired by the extendedinfo add-on for example. And of course you will be able to browse the "normal" library nodes.









All still very much wip.

No need to apologize, Jeroen!

We sure all know this is totally voluntary work in your spare time. Real life bites us all from time to time.

Good luck with the new house!

Nah, just many additions. Taking them out of my own addon’s windows/layouts. Thanks!
After this mod I might actually start using Grid as my main Kodi skin. It was/is a lot of work to merge the two.
Enjoy the new house. (Don’t try to redecorate it all in one go.)

Hi all,

first of all let me say thanks for the good work! I love using this skin.

I realized that in the tv epg, the plot info is missing, only the episode name is shown. Or am I missing something?

Can anyone tell me why I am unable to import music in Grid?

[Jeroen]

You'll have to enter the music directory first. This is not a skin function, this will work the same in any skin.

@VikkiXavier

That function you are trying to use is to import a backup of your previously scraped library. Not sure if that is your intent.

If you are trying to add music to your library for the first time, please follow this guide... http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Create_Music_Library

thanks you karellen
