I have one video add-on, that does not let me choose any View Type besides "List" on ReFocus. The same add-on allows me to choose among many other views in Confluence, including "Thumbnail" which is much more appealing for its content.
Is this something Skin related, or should I contact the add-on developer to work something out?

It's because the add-on does not provide a content-type (which isn't necessarily a bad thing to do). A bit hard to explain, but I tried here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1686771

Oh, I think I see what you mean. I'll play around with the add-on XML files then, see if I can find a content-type that works in this case. Cheers!

I'm not sure if this is intended behaviour, but...
- Main menu, going into "TV Shows" and then to "In Progress"... I get the shows in progress. Good!
- Going back to Main Menu -> "TV Shows" -> "Browse"... It takes me back again to the shows in progress, instead of "all shows" and it takes me quite a few remote clicks to achieve that.

For Movies however, everything seems to be working. "In Progress" shows me those movies and "Browse" just shows me everything.

I get the same behaviour for both? Which is the way it should be as there's no difference in the way the respective windows are opened, code wise at least. Do you go back to home using back or by escape / exit?

I'm pretty sure that I'm using the back key, I'll have another look when I'm at home and maybe make a screencap of what I'm seeing as well.

Scrolling trough the "TV - All Channels" list (before actually selecting a channel and watch it), the green progress bars of the before a lot wider than they actually are. On my Mac it's almost unnoticeable, but on the lowered performant RaspPi it's easy to spot the green bars becoming bigger while scrolling. It's not a huge deal, just thought I could mention it.

I noticed this too. I'm not sure what is causing this. Code wise, the progress bars are the exact same size anywhere they are used in the PVR. I am (re)using a texture that is bigger than the size it is displayed at here. My guess is that while scrolling the texture needs to be resized for every line that is scrolled, and it can't keep up so to speak.
I'll look into it. The PVR window will be getting an overhaul in XBMC soon and I'm holding big changes until that happens. If it's an easy fix though I will put it into a Gotham bugfix release.

Yes, that was what I thought as well when I saw it, especially with the RaspPi, it couldn't keep up.

In the TVShows widget, pressing "Enter" on a show will take you to the list of episodes of that show, which is nice.
With Movies, it starts playing the movie directly. It would be nice to be able to play the trailer before going into the movie. Maybe the "i" key could be mapped and show information of that movie? That would allow us to go watch the trailer, cast, etc...

That's not possible unfortunately. All key mapping (with the exception of direction buttons and back in some cases) is handled by XBMC internally. Buttons like info are only available in the actual library windows.

Got it! So it's not possible to map the button...
Is it possible though to make it open that info screen after pressing the OK key, instead of playing it?
Not saying that this is something you'd like to do, just wondering if it's technically possible

Reapplying my settings and noticed the option 'Enable media overlays' but can't seem to figure out what exactly it enables!
Sorry for such a silly question, but does anybody care to explain?

It enables the "now playing" overlays in the top right of the screen.

Not my question originally, but I'm also wondering what this is while translating the skin strings.
Do you mean the "notifications" that might pop up while watching a video? I can't remember if that's something XBMC-wide or skin related, now.
Or is it some sort of message that appears on the home screen only?
