I absolutely LOVE the VideoExtras plugin! It's my primary reason for moving back to XBMC after struggling for over a year with MB3's poor handling of extras.
On to my question: Is there any skin other than Aeon Nox Gotham 4.1.9.9 (for Gotham 13.1), that indicates the presence of extras on the movie or TV show list? That is... built-in support, without editing xml files? I have no problem editing them... I just don't want to have to constantly redo them when the skin is updated.

Hi Pagali,
Thanks for the kind words.
I'm not completely sure if any other skin supports the "overlay" support fo rhighlight the existance of extras.
There is always the confluence patch that could be applied - confluence is "normally" only updated when XBMC is updated, so you should be OK, and will only need to re-patch confluence after you do an entire XBMC upgrade.
Thanks
Rob

The TvShowTitle is set for play all:
Code:
# Start by adding an option to Play All
anItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(__addon__.getLocalizedString(32101), path=path)
# Get the first items fanart for the play all option
anItem.setProperty("Fanart_Image", files[0].getFanArt())
if tvShowTitle != "":
anItem.setInfo('video', {'TvShowTitle': tvShowTitle})
I have also added a change to set the title as well, in case that helps
Code:
if extrasParentTitle != "":
anItem.setInfo('video', {'Title': extrasParentTitle})

Hi Rob.
Sorry about the late answer. I have been busy updating Rapier for Gotham.
Thanks a lot for the help and patch once again.
Unfortunately it didn't help and the ListItem.Path and ListItem.TvShowTitle still turns up empty. Also the ListItem.Title doesn't get displayed when Play All is focused.
Let me explain in detail what I do:
I use the ListItem.Path to set a clearlogo, and when Play All is focused, no image is displayed.
I use the !IsEmpty(ListItem.TvShowTitle) to set the TV Shows breadcrumb and the IsEmpty(ListItem.TvShowTitle) to set the Movies breadcrumb. But when Play All is focused, the Movies breadcrumb is displayed at all times (which means the ListItem.tvShowTitle is empty at all times).
But actually it's not a problem for now. I have removed the Movies and the Tv Shows labels from the breadcrumbs. It probably wouldn't be ideal anyway, as I also need a breadcrumb for Music Videos, but I can't think of a way to determinate the path.

Hi Gade,
I didn't know if you were still looking for this - I think it's possible we were talking about different screens, I was talking about the plugin screen, and I think you were talking about the script generated screen.
Maybe try the following:

Capfuturo just pointed me at the script screen with something that sounded like the same thing you were asking for.
Thanks
Rob

Hopefully the following patch will do that:
https://code.google.com/p/robwebset/source/detail?r=469
Note: In the case where the Extras are stored on a completely different system (using "Use Custom Extras Location" setting) then this will actually be a "Virtual Path" located under the directory that contained the Movie/TV Show. This is so that addon's like TvTunes can work out relative paths to support playing themes from "parent folders"

Hi All,
With the release of XBMC 13.2 I thought it was time to publish the latest work for VideoExtras. Change log as follows:
Code:
v1.1.5
- Update Playall menu item with Path and TV Show Title
- Update Confluence patch to include Extras icon on Video Info Screen
- Update Confluence patches to Gotham 13.2 (Confluence 2.2.20)
- Set default Icon Image for plugin extras list
- Add scrolling plot to the extras list screen
(Give it a little while to work through the system)
This includes upgades to the Confluence patches to work with the latest XBMC version (also available via the Wiki - Section 10.2)
Enjoy!
Rob

If you post all the graphics you need to look nice, I can have a look when I have some time.

Hi uNiversal,
If you are referring to the overlay images and icons to show that an extra exists - that would be brilliant! (I am rubbish at the graphical design stuff).
The two images used are:

Thanks

Thanks Tangata Manu,
I have updated the icon in the source repo.
If you didn't want to lose all the DB information you can delete the following directories to force a refresh of the icons
$userdata\addon_data\script.videoextras\movies
$userdata\addon_data\script.videoextras\musicvideos
$userdata\addon_data\script.videoextras\tvshows
Thanks
Rob

Im referring to all of them
but if these two are all you want you should have them before long, matching confluence of course,
