jm since i use xbmc build of today (jan 26) all my custom made options are a mess (skin.hassettings stuff), don't know what you changed, but i didn't changed anything. also you used the wrong date for the new stuff you added in the changelog (25-01-2001) :lol:

jm any chance the fullscreen codec & aspect information could be combined? under the usual select button? say leave aspect information where it is and put the codec information at the bottom so both on screen at once?
this would leave the info button on the remote free for some nice video information thumbs, title, time etc...

another thing is always making me mad is in the video osd, regarding the the audio and video settings.
in videoosd.xml 2 buttons activate 2 windows using:
<execute>xbmc.activatewindow(123)</execute>
and
<execute>xbmc.activatewindow(124)</execute>
respectly for video and audio menu.
the conditon window.isactive(124) is never true, is always active the window 123.
i know it's made it this way to have just 1 xml to make both windows, but at least give me that condition true so i can use different textures.
cheers.

ok, i'm back.
first the ! problem is fixed, as is the <onclick> for the button scroller.
second, i'll have a think about the control.hasfocus() thing - i'm unsure how to handle it at this point though (one way could be to expand it in the code, but this is messy, so i'll have to think whether there is a better way). no guarantees on that front, as really it's just a time saver, and you can always do it once in includes.xml.
third, i'll take a look at adding visibility conditions for the codec info (as i don't think it's using player.codecinfo in the video window atm, and this will fix the issue i think?)
hardc0r3: will take a look tonight if i have time.
sollie: not sure how easy that would be - i agree that it's consistent with the other list types, but it's not a high priority at this point.
kotix: fixed in cvs.
if there is anything else feature-wise that would be useful, please let me know asap so that i can get version 2.0 stabilized and out the door.
cheers,
jonathan

jm,
are you including the ability to launch a script with an action?
i really really really want the ability to launch my homecontrol script when i start a movie.
(is there enough really's in there?)

not how you want it - it's not really got anything to do with the skin imo.
rather, what you are after is a generic "on this thing happening, please also do this" type thing.
this can be accomplished (for instance) by passing more of the messages on to python. currently we only pass some messages (onaction events, onclick events etc.)
you can look into it if you like - you need to look into the python message system and see how (and which) messages are being passed. there is onplaybackstarted and onplaybackstopped/onplaybackfinished for instance. i'm pretty sure they're all sent to the python message handler, but are probably filtered out at that point (am unsure - please investigate).
cheers,
jonathan

jm,
that is idea (thought i lack the c++ skills to do anything about it) but i'd be happy with a simple add on to the existing controls... a tag like <script> added to the control or allowing multiple <execute> attributes so we could use both xbmc.activatewindow and q:\scripts\homecontrol\homecontrol.py at the same time.
can you just have it parse two commands when triggered?

sorry jonathan but the fix you made for video osd doesn't seem to work properly, because now window.isactive(124) is always true when window 123 is active too, i mean that they work in the same time, just like if one is the copy of the other one.
but what i need is to know when audio or video menu is individually active, 123 for video and 124 for audio.
tnx again as usual.
p.s. did you fix also the includes.xml and the slide effects problems i told you?

fixes for the slide/fade issues are in (that's for kotix and hardc0r3).
kotix: yeah, i know that it's not right still (didn't have time to test the changes i made) but i'll fix it tonight as i know exactly what's wrong now. includes.xml is working fine for full controls for me - i used it in some xml files i did up for the mc60 skin and they work fine - perhaps you can send me your includes.xml and a file that's using it and i'll try them out.
affini: this is not what you want. the list control has no onclick or execute action - you'd only want it to run when an actual video or audio file or whatever is started - not just when the control is clicked! thus my suggestion.
any other requested things i've missed?
cheers,
jonathan
