It's not the same lowlist as in v4. I got rid of the onright action to show extended info as I hate hidden navigation and there's no logo in right corner as thats redundant with the poster. So its basically the same as tripanel except it shows fanart more

I like it a lot! I still remember that LowList was the reason I install xbmc.
On episode level, can you switch to episode thumb instead of tvshow poster? It seems more fit for an episode view. Cheers!

My main motivation for the poster was that the episode thumb size is too small. I'll have another look.

Just like to point out that live tv submenu tv channels points to radio channels. I suggest that also that the order of live tv submenu gets rearranged so tv channels first than radio channels.

Thanks

Will fix that.

I have finally figured out why the overlays in the recorded tv do not work properly is that OverlayWatched.png and OverlayUnwatched.png must be located in the media folder as soon as I added the two files in media folder and regenerated Textures.xbt the overlays worked.

However if you click on recording that has a watched overlay and try to mark as unwatched it doesn't mark it as unwatched until you go to another recording and mark it as watched or watch a recording it will mark the recording unwatched. That is one weird behaviour.

As soon as I find a way I can test recordings without having live tv, I'll see if I can incorporate some of your stuff. It looks nice

@BigNoid

I am using Plexbmc and would like to add support for the 'recently added' videos / music like we get via skin widgets.
Would you be able to explain how (if it's possible) to add some extra 'fake' widgets to support this?

I have the skin xml's that show the recently added items, but need to link them to the main menu items so that they show up when the relevant category is selected.

I think that I need to edit custom_1124_WidgetCustomizer.xml and add something like the following;

Code:

<item>
    <label>Plexbmc Recent Movies</label>
    <onclick>Skin.SetString(ItemToEdit.Widget,<Plexbmc_Recent_Movies.xml>)</onclick>
    <onclick>Skin.SetString(ItemToEdit.WidgetLabel,Plexbmc Recent Movies</onclick>
    <onclick>Skin.SetString(ItemToEdit.WidgetType,1)</onclick>
    <onclick>Dialog.Close(1124)</onclick>
</item>

I'm not too sure what should go into the <Plexbmc_Recent_Movies.xml> part.. can I specify a skin XML that will just get included and displayed on screen when the menu item (Movies in this case) is selected?

No, the widget string is the content that is loaded. If you have a spl or a plugin you can use that.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but the version I have saved on my NAS is preview 8. The first post is beta 4. Am I way outdated?

Also, I'm I saw someone post asking if media cases were enabled. I can't find it now though but I'd like to +1 it unless it makes the skin heavier than you want.

No cases for now.

Is it possible to hide, play, forward , backward and pauze buttons in video player when to movie is paused.

Shouldn't be visible when pausing. If you use a mouse, then no it cant be hidden

The paused screen uses clearart instead of clearlogo in the lower left corner, would it be possible to make it user selectable? I personally prefer logos over clearart. Just thought I'd ask.

Thanks for your hard work!

That is a setting that would only be useful for a handful users, so I'm leaving that kind of stuff to edit by the users themself.

Hello everyone, I read all the posts of this thread but I can not figure out how to hide submenus in the home of xbmc.
Always remain visible (even if the submenus are empty).
I added all the scripts recommended but I can not find "script.skinshortcuts" in xbmc.
Probably this is the problem but i don't know how to solve it.
Can someone help me?

Thanks!

If you mean the texture of the submenu, its intended to always be visible.

Hi, I'm a new OpenElec user. Great skin in Raspberry!
I dont understand how I can see the disc art as in the first page, screen number 4.
Can you help me?
Thanks.

That was an old screenshot. I removed it as i found it becoming irritating to see the disc art popup and it had some glitches when teh scrollbar was focused.

Minor suggestion: instead of showing as 1.6:1 or 1.78:1 for aspect ratio in video information, could we get the more common 16:10, 16:9, etc?

Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Makes sense, if a pr for that will come on github I'll have a look

+1 for episode view

Seems silly but I am staying on Frodo & 4.0.9 just for this view in hopes it will be added to Gotham before the official 13 release.

+1 for episode view too

Same situation for me, I'm staying on Frodo because I use this view everywhere.

Anyway thank you for this beautiful theme.

Why are you not adding this view ? It is easily the best view on this skin for TV episodes because it overlays all episodes with a very simple and clean look with no clutter of other stuff like plot or other information that just clutters up the screen. Hell I even use this view to list my movies sometimes. Please don't kill this view to me it was one of the best features added to the skin when it was upgraded to Frodo.

I only add views (or addon support for that matter) that i use myself. How can I make a good view if I dont like it myself?
