Here is a list of random things that appear to be easy fixes. Once these are clear, my XBMC will be perfect. Let's see if we can destroy a few so I can get on with paying it forward.
FILE INFO:
1) Last week, I deleted my Textures file & all my artwork. I had a lot of incorrect .nfo info, and I wanted to be sure it was all clear. I assume that's the only way. Is there a way to wipe/clean all data or just update existing without having to hit each file? If I just remove the source and let xbmc do a full scan, will that always update all NFO files/pics or must I delete the TEXTURES & PICS FOLDERS? I hate doing that... I was hoping for an Add-On.
WIDGETS:
2) Since the delete above, I have 1 TV show that won't scrape artwork for covers or episodes. I deleted it, deleted the source, rescraped, and nothing.
3) My RANDOM MOVIES BACKGROUNDS will no longer load on their own. If I click on the RANDOM MOVIES "Widget" the backgrounds pop up. If I let it sit on it's own, the background just goes black for the main XBMC background. I've deleted the widgets, I've deleted the add-on, and I've changed each setting. I can't get it to work now.
4) Is there an IN-PROGRESS EPISODE widget or setting I can get? I have an option for IN-PROGRESS Shows, but it only takes you to the SHOW, not the episode. Even if I could get a RECENT widget or something. I hate having to stop the show then not remember which one.
FUNCTIONS:
5) When I hit PAUSE, sometimes the movie or show skips ahead a whole chapter. I then have to PAUSE and push chapter down to get me back to where I was. What would be causing this? Could it be only a remote issue? I use a Time Warner Cable remote for everything. It doesn't seem to work the cleanest when scrolling, but this is the big problem I seem to have. May be an XBMC error?
6) Is there a way to speed up REWIND? It seems like my rewind feature goes VERY slow and sometimes jerky or stops. Forward is fine, but not rewind.
CODING:
7) Is there a way to remove the SIDEBAR from all menus? I accidentally pop it out while scrolling a lot, and it's annoying. I see that KIOSK mode locks it from TV & MOVIE menus (which is amazing), but can I stop it from anywhere else?
ARTWORK:
8) Where does MOVIE SET Art save? If I make custom set artwork, then wipe my box, it seems the settings file doesn't fully save the pics. Unless, maybe I need to keep a folder of the pics for it to reference back to? I want a restore to bring back what I had listed, but don't know how.
9) Can anyone point me to a good set of GENRE ART? I've searched all the forums. I found 1 I liked, but it's missing genres. The other was tough to look at.
I think that covers pretty much everything else I don't get about XBMC. Any help would be amazing! Thanks!
