Thats recommended, In Progress are those episodes one has started but not yet finished
Hi there,
First things first: Thanks for creating Box Skin.
First time user of your skin (in the process of finding my perfect skin or probably Frankensteining my own). Loving what I've seen so far.
As a long time xb... Kodi user I have a very clear idea of what I need&like in my skin. As it will always happen there is no perfect skin (for me). Some have one thing I like, others have more and some are nearly perfect but have some anoyances... I will say Box is in this last group.
One of the things I find weird about it is the TVShows widgets. One, with the time has come accustomed to widgets working a certain "consensus" way and I feel box doesn't go the same way.
For example, the InprogessTvShows lists shows not in the expected last watched shows first, but it seems to be alphabetical... I came here and found posts 328,329,331 and 333 in this same thread related to the same issue.
In the last one you stated that the intention is to show "episodes one has started but not yet finished". Is this right? What I feel I'm getting is the shows with unseen episodes but in alphabetical order.
For me it is more useful to have the list of shows I'm currently watching and have unseen episodes... but in descending last-played order.
As you mentioned in post 329 I when and adapted InProgressTcShows.xsp to my liking. In fact I only needed to add 1 line (the one with the order tag). I thought of sharing in case anyone else finds it useful:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
<name>InProgressTvShows</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="inprogress" operator="true" />
<order direction="descending">lastplayed</order>
<limit>20</limit>
</smartplaylist>
That way it's more useful for me. What would make it perfect will be for it to directly play the next unseen episode, instead of taking me to the seasons view of that series... But I'm guessing that's not your preferred way.
Anyway, again, thanks for creating Box.
EDIT: Forget about me... I found that intended behavior in RecommendedEpisodes (although I can't find the xsp file for that one to compare, but I changed also the order for InProgressEpisodes). Now I just would like to get more than 4 recommendations in the widget...
EDIT2: Forget about me again. I found that going down on the widget list I get more entries... I'll just shut up until I have done my due diligences...
