That's asking for trouble on more levels than one....

[xnappo]

How's that?

[Mr. V]

Hi i hope you can help me out...
I am using you skin on Jarvis and i have a problem.
If i use the Add-on:Categories (wiki) addon en setup movie addons Categorie i can use it in the widget if i first put it in kodi favorites. Oke its cool,..... but the skin sees this as a movie... and there are no posters on addons... so u only get Fanart as option... How can i make the skin so i can choose Fanart and poster and icon... so i get the addon icoons in the widget.
if you can tell me what xml i have to edit...?

I can do the same thing by using superfavo but you get an extra step when pressing back out of the widget.

Gr. Warez

Does the superfavorite shortcut end in ,return)? Mr. V will have to step in on this since I neither coded the widgets or use them myself...
For future reference I'd prefer you not PM with support questions. I will just ignore them. I do not provide support through PM.


@Warez
It wont be an issue in the next widget update.

[Debisky]

I have just installed Jarvis RC and the corresponding skin from Github and am just tweaking the home menus but for some reason it will not let me select an image from my pc to use as a background. Also the main menu doesn't scroll as smooth as it did on Isengaard but this could be a RC thing ?

Are the System video settings correct? Is the display set to output 24hz or something cause that will effect the scrolling "smoothness" or perhaps you are using low powered device with the snow effect enabled. Not sure if snow causes that much of a performance dip but there are a lot of elements onscreen with different animations...

Hi Mike, thanks for getting back to me and for the compliment! I've been having loads of fun working on my family video library and am currently doing a section called "nostalgia," where I'm setting up old family movies (some really, really old of my great-grandparents, etc.). It's a fabulous way to not only preserve a copy of basically priceless videos (to me at least), but also to easily access them. It takes a bit of work, but it's really a great hobby.

I don't have the blur setting, but using your suggestion, I turned off most options just to test, and I still received the toolbox script error when I launched a video.

Also, I have chosen the "expert" level and still no Debug option shows up. I tried a complete fresh reinstall, even deleting Kodi completely and sideloading it again, and still same situation -- I don't see "Enable Debug Logging," only "Enable Component Specific Logging." I do see it on my computer (where I've also installed Kodi with the same setup), but I don't see it on the Fire TV stick, and also I don't get the script error on my PC, only going through the Fire TV stick.

Also, I had Isengard and your brilliant skin (truly mean that) before the big update where we had to re-setup our menu/submenus, and it didn't do this then, so it's only started since that point in time. I don't know if that helps pinpoint the issue, but it's something I noticed. Also, it only seems to happen with the first video and then doesn't recur until restarting Kodi.

Regarding debugging, would there be something corrupt in my setup, something I still might be missing, or maybe another method to access the debug log for you? By the way, I think you should be called Dr. Mike because this reminds me of the doctors I work for who have to diagnose problems, often through a process of elimination. hehe

Thanks again!

Deb

If you do not see enable debug logging then something is not right... I can only think of one other way to enable debug logging and that way could be easy, hard, or really hard depending on your SSH/SFTP and advancedsettings comfort level.

Before we get to that...
I would try re-installing script.toolbox from the add-on manager in case it is just a simple missing dependency.

If that does not help:
First, you will need a way to copy and write to the Kodi folders on your Fire stick... More info on that here and if you need further help with that I suggest checking in the android section and, if needed, asking for help from fellow Fire Stick users that would know more than I do.

Second, you would then need to create an advancedsettings (wiki) file and follow these instructions to enable debug logging.

Finally, please post a link to the log here manually or using the Add-on:Kodi Log Uploader (wiki) and we can hopefully see what the problem is and find a solution

Hi Mike, I did a complete fresh reinstall of Isengard and the repository. This time I did find the option to turn on debug logging and have submitted a log at http://xbmclogs.com/plygjzrsc and I tried a second one, but I never received the ID number, so it is located at: http://www.filedropper.com/kodi_1 . The first one I had only tried to launch a live webcam via YouTube and received the toolbox script error. I had the component debugger on, too, with that one. The second time I launched a tiny video of my granddaughter, and I received the same script error. For that one, I didn't have the component debugger selected (only the main debugger).

Anyway, the error seems to happen the first time I try to launch any type of video, whether local on my network or via the Internet, such as a YouTube application (the app that comes included with the main Kodi repo). Literally, those are the only two items I have set up with Kodi right now as this was a completely fresh build just for testing. If I click on a second video, the script error doesn't happen again, but if I close down Kodi and relaunch and then try to watch a video, the script error pops up.

Also, just to test, I tried a fresh install of Jarvis along with the repository, and I received the same error.

This script error never happened before the major change where we had to set up our menus and submenu items again.

I hope that my attempts at getting the log reports to you worked!

Thank you very much for helping me with this, and I hope it doesn't take too much of your time.

@Mr. V

tried to add a widget for a German daily TV HighLight...
So I add to the Widget settings, what was not the problem... until this step everything worgs fine...
So now you can add it to every Mainmenu-Item...

But to ge get all Propertys for the OnInfo-Window I need to run the script this will be normaly done in the
Include of the widget in the Includes.Widget.xml...

Code:

<include name="TVHighLightsContent">
    <item>
        <property name="channel">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Channel)]</property>
        <property name="comment">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Comment)]</property>
    <property name="genre">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Genre)]</property>
         <property name="country">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Country)]</property>
         <property name="year">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Year)]</property>
         <label>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Title)]</label>
         <onclick>RunScript(plugin.program.tvhighlights,"?methode=set_details_to_home&detailurl=$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Popup)]")</onclick>
    <logo>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Logo)]</logo>
        <icon>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Logo)]</icon>
        <property name="extrainfos">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Extrainfos)]</property>
        <label2>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Time)]</label2>
        <thumb>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Thumb)]</thumb>
        <actualicon>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Logo)]</actualicon>
        <visible>!IsEmpty(Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Title))</visible>
    <visible>!IsEmpty(Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Title))</visible>
        </item>
    <item>
        <property name="channel">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Channel)]</property>
        <property name="comment">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Comment)]</property>
    <property name="genre">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Genre)]</property>
         <property name="country">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Country)]</property>
         <property name="year">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Year)]</property>
         <label>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Title)]</label>
         <onclick>RunScript(plugin.program.tvhighlights,"?methode=set_details_to_home&detailurl=$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Popup)]")</onclick>
    <logo>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Logo)]</logo>
        <icon>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Logo)]</icon>
        <property name="extrainfos">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Extrainfos)]</property>
        <label2>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Time)]</label2>
        <thumb>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Thumb)]</thumb>
        <actualicon>$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Logo)]</actualicon>
        <visible>!IsEmpty(Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.2.Title))</visible>
    <visible>!IsEmpty(Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Title))</visible>
        </item>

after Run the script there are some more propertys like Plot and Rating...
But with your great widget-system I don't have a <onclick> there is a <oninfo> but <oninfo> didn't work to run the script..

So any ideas to solve this...?

[BobCratchett]

@sveni_lee - Forgive me if I'm going over details you've already sorted, but let's start at the start with how you'd go adding this script (unfortunately it's not a plugin in the Kodi sense of the word, which wouldn't need special integration) as a widget.

First job is to add your static list content in its own include - that's the code you've posted there. The only thing that needs changing are the &'s - which should be &amp; - the onclick is absolutely valid for a widget, so don't worry about that - we'll get to fixing that in a minute

Next is to add it as a widget -presumably you've done this too, but just to be clear, you're adding an extra line in skin.aeon.nox.silvo/shortcuts/overrides.xml - in the <widget-groupings /> element. Something like the following, though you may need to play with widget= and widgetType= to get the correct artwork choices and appropriate infolabels, for example:-

Code:

<shortcut label="TV Highlights" condition="System.HasAddon(plugin.program.tvhighlights)" widget="addon" widgetType="tvshows" widgetTarget="video">$INCLUDE[TVHighLightsContent]</shortcut>

The widget is now selectable and will display correctly.

OK, the onclicks. Clicking the widget will now run the script, but 'set_details_to_home' doesn't appear to be a valid function of the script (at least its not documented, and I can't see it in the code). What is really easy to do, though, is to run it so it pops up its own info dialog. The onclick for that would be:-

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(plugin.program.tvhighlights,"?methode=infopopup&amp;detailurl=$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Popup)]")</onclick>

And you should now have a fully-functioning widget. Just remember to backup your changes as they will be lost when the skin updates.

[sveni_lee]

Hi Bob,

first thanks for your help...

I think the addon on the Repro ist not up to date... it was discussed at the German Forums and there was a lot of changes. I think Tobias will update the
Repro in the next days...

First job is to add your static list content in its own include - that's the code you've posted there. The only thing that needs changing are the &'s - which should be &amp;

you mean in this way?

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(plugin.program.tvhighlights,"?methode=set_details_to_home&amp;detailurl=$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Popup)]")</onclick>

Next is to add it as a widget -presumably you've done this too, but just to be clear, you're adding an extra line in skin.aeon.nox.silvo/shortcuts/overrides.xml - in the <widget-groupings /> element. Something like the following, though you may need to play with widget= and widgetType= to get the correct artwork choices and appropriate infolabels, for example:-

Code:

<shortcut label="TV Highlights" condition="System.HasAddon(plugin.program.tvhighlights)" widget="addon" widgetType="tvshows" widgetTarget="video">$INCLUDE[TVHighLightsContent]</shortcut>

yes, right... that have I done...

OK, the onclicks. Clicking the widget will now run the script, but 'set_details_to_home' doesn't appear to be a valid function of the script (at least its not documented, and I can't see it in the code). What is really easy to do, though, is to run it so it pops up its own info dialog. The onclick for that would be:-

And you should now have a fully-functioning widget. Just remember to backup your changes as they will be lost when the skin updates.

Code:

?methode=set_details_to_home

that part will set the Property without open the Info dialog... (change of the new version)
I tried to get in the way that <oninfo> starts the script so that I coult use the Window(1199) for the detail infis...
so tried to find a way to run script by pressing info on the Mainscreen...

[BobCratchett]

I think the addon on the Repro ist not up to date... it was discussed at the German Forums and there was a lot of changes. I think Tobias will update the
Repro in the next days...

That makes sense. I'm looking at the git version, which appears to be v0.1.1. I can see 0.1.5 on the KodiNerds forum, but it requires registration to download so I won't be looking at that

you mean in this way?

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(plugin.program.tvhighlights,"?methode=set_details_to_home&amp;detailurl=$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Popup)]")</onclick>

Yes.

Code:

?methode=set_details_to_home

that part will set the Property without open the Info dialog... (change of the new version)
I tried to get in the way that <oninfo> starts the script so that I coult use the Window(1199) for the detail infis...
so tried to find a way to run script by pressing info on the Mainscreen...

If you want to run the script oninfo you need to first add a property to each of the static list items:-

Code:

<property name="TVHighlightsToday.Popup">$INFO[Window.Property(TVHighlightsToday.1.Popup)]</property>

Then head to Includes_Widgets.xml, and find the two includes OnInfo1 and OnInfo2. You need to add a new <oninfo /> before the ActivateWindow(1199) one. For the OnInfo1:-

Code:

<oninfo condition="!IsEmpty(Container(8001).ListItem.Property(TVHighlightsToday.Popup))">RunScript(plugin.program.tvhighlights,"?methode=set_details_to_home&amp;detailurl=$INFO[Container(8001).ListItem.Property(TVHighlightsToday.Popup)]")</oninfo>

You'll then need to edit window 1199 to display the window properties

It's also worth noting that the upcoming Mr. V's widgets v3.5, the container ID's are generated dynamically when the main menu is built. So you'll need to make multiple edits to the skin.aeon.nox.silvo/shortcuts/template.xml to pass through the correct ID as well as edit the OnInfo include itself when those widgets land (though I don't believe there's any ETA at all).

[sveni_lee]

That makes sense. I'm looking at the git version, which appears to be v0.1.1. I can see 0.1.5 on the KodiNerds forum, but it requires registration to download so I won't be looking at that

If you wish, I could send you by PM...

Will test all your instruction... and come back to you...

Sven

[sveni_lee]

thanks Bob...

that works graet...

one more question, would it be possible to run the script every time if one of the static list items gets focus...
so if I go from one item to next the script shoud run again... :-)

[BobCratchett]

one more question, would it be possible to run the script every time if one of the static list items gets focus...

Possible? Yes. Easy? Well...

The individual items in the widget don't have an <onfocus /> tag. The container that they're in does, but that only gets called when the whole widget gets focused, not when the focus changes between the items in the widget.

The only workaround I know of (which isn't to say there aren't others known by those more skilled than I, or necessarily that this workaround will in fact work for you) is to put a button control into the <focusedlayout /> of the panel container, and use its <onfocus /> to run the script.

That means heading back to the Includes_Widgets.xml file, and adding a button control to every <focusedlayout /> in there (there's a few as they have to cover all the different widget layouts/artwork styles - and it's probably a good place to use an include so you're only editing the button control in one place) with the conditional <onfocus />. Then cross your fingers that it works!

I wish you luck

Hi mike

Great skin, sorry if this has been asked before but is it possible to add an intro video on this skin

Thanks

[sxmdim]

Hi Mike,
I am getting this in episode view

[Mr. V]

Hi mike

Great skin, sorry if this has been asked before but is it possible to add an intro video on this skin

Thanks

I believe this has been done. It is working from the Jarvis Repo. Not sure with Isengard.

[pjcanales]

Helo not sure if this is the right area to post this but does anyone have a copy of swim box silvo avenger version for Jarvis. I Google and attempt to install but didn't succeed, I suspect they were for the other one before Jarvis.
