@senna99 : Hello senna99, Alright then i am not very good with python but i will take a look in to it when i get home. Also i may have another solution for downloading images. I have recently been testing out something called wget. This allows you to download all images from any website and then save them to whichever folder you like. I have recently been testing this script out with my skin and it seems to be working okay. I have created a Program plugin called Wget that includes the Wget.exe and dlls and then launched it with python - then all images are saved in to appdata\plugin.program.wget\. It all seems to be working alright but the only problem is that anyone on a different platform to windows or linux then this script will fail and all the images will only get updated when the website is updated - which is sort of a problem if the website is not updated frequently. Anyway i will take a look in to wget on different platforms & i will also upload the plugin when i get back so you can take a look at it if you want. I might be including this in to the next update of my skin but it will be optional in the settings as some people may experience problems.
@empirewar : What version of XBMC are you running ? because i have found a little problem where XBMC will crash on Gotham when opening the context menu. I am not sure why at the moment but i am looking in to it and will try to create a fix asap. Also i will download plugin.video.polishtv.live when i get home and test it out.
@grote345 : That's great!
@grote345 : I have recently added an option in to the settings where you can toggle what bing searches - it can now either search your local library or youtube. The settings can be changed for the search on Charms bar, Dashboard and the bing plugin.
I will shortly be uploading an update will quite a few nice features!
here are some of them :
New friends section - using the gamertag script. You can add your own xbox friends and it will show them on your friends list!
New activity section - using the gamertag script. This section shows your name, gamerscore, activity, achievements ect. Also includes a new feature where you can toggle online/offline - this will turn all notifications on or off.
Completely changed around the Xbox Video section - this advertises all the latest movies & tv shows and now has a proper collection section that includes your tv library, movie library, pins, search, trakt.tv ect.
Added a much better way to access your library, you can now go to the Xbox video collection section, you can go to your tv&movies section and click on the collection button, or you can access your library from the charms bar.
Completely changed the achievements section - this now lists your recent achievements, % complete, gamerscore out of available gamerscore ect.
Fixed the snap feature and the animation
Fixed the trakt.tv section - changed the trailer button to the movie info
Added a little icon at bottom right of the dashboard next to the clock that will show up if your internet is disconnected there is also another icon that will pop up if you have an alarm enabled - if you don't want this feature then it can be disabled in the settings.
Updated animations
Cleaned unused code
Cleaned some unused textures
Fixed pins section
Added optional adverts - you can now pick what adverts you want on the dashboard e.g. you could have a new tv show on tile 1, a game on tile 2 and the new bing on tile 3. (You can pick between tv shows, movies, bing and games) - more will be added soon!
Added an optional games plugin - this will download game advertisements every day.
Improved some of the sounds
Added a new optional snap feature using python and autoit. - This little script will take a screenshot of your screen just before the charms bar opens and will snap it to the dashboard. Instead of showing a little icon of what you were last on on the dashboard you can now have a proper screen shot of what you were on . This is still a work in progress so you may experience problems, if so you can disable it in the settings.
I cannot upload any screenshots at the moment because i am out but i will be uploading some images in a few hours or so.
The download for the update should hopefully be uploaded later today or early tomorrow!
Also in the next update i will be working on colored tiles options, dashboard spacing, avatar section, help section and more
