Not sure about the "option 3" needs if bulk runscripts works. Also if <onselect> allows to Run setconstant (a script launch in a running script ? That's some weird implementation I'm careful with ...

That said, there's no rush, take your time ... if you're looking that way, I know now where to continue and it's going to save me A HUGE amount of code.

Did you see this?

Not that you don't have enough requests to be going on with, but another one for you to please consider

Regarding animated artwork, the saving in the database is working well apart from one aspect - the path that is saved is to the locally cached version and not, like all other artwork in the database, to the original internet source. This means that when using a shared mysql database the image that is linked to doesn't exist, and the texture cache maintenance tool can't be used to pre-cache the image.

Is there any possibility of having the remote path saved into the database instead?

(My ultimate aim with both this and my previous request of having a way to trigger a scan for all artwork is to be able to use the animated artwork on lower-powered devices with a relatively lightweight skin. My ideal is for that device not to be scanning for and downloading the artwork as the library is browsed, but to trigger a scan -which the user will therefore know will be comparatively cpu/network intensive- or use another machine to actually get the artwork, then only deal with displaying it when the user is actually using the machine.)

Thanks once more for your consideration of the request, and your continued efforts on an essential script.

Well, I'm afraid not.. the animated artwork doesn't work with an external path only with a local path.
That's the whole reason I decided to download them to the local thumbnails folder.

This script should check for existance of the local artwork btw

That's a shame, but thanks for the info. I'll have another think about how best I can achieve what I'm after. (And there's no need to be afraid )

Hello,

I've recently started noticing a lot of errors in my log being generated by this script. I'm using version 1.0.68. Should I post up a debug log or is there an update for it coming soon that will fix it?

Thx

Yes, there is an update coming up. In fact, current version is 1.0.82
It can't harm hoewever to share your log so I can check if the errors are all caught now.

Marcel do you remember the FR about toggle kodi options?
I'm needing this since I'm always switch the gui language (my skin is support both rtl\ltrf alignment)..
kind of tired to do that from kodi settings... for now I made a workaround with my poor python skills

Code:

def toggleKodiSetting(settingname):
    #toggle kodi setting
    #curValue = xbmc.getCondVisibility("system.getbool(%s)"%settingname)
    if random.randint(1,2) == 2:
        newValue = "resource.language.en_gb"
    else:
        newValue = "resource.language.he_il"
    xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue","params":{"setting":"%s","value":"%s"}}' %(settingname,newValue))

Code:

<F3>RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=togglekodisetting,setting=locale.language)</F3>

but I always stick to your latest git and need to rewrite it..

Hi Marcel,

Is this available in lists?

Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.MovieSet.X.DiscArt)

If not is there anyway to get the movie set discs in a list?

Hello,

I felt brave and installed the version in this threads first post from github. Now it looks like all of the errors are gone. One issue that's new tho is the Next Aired widget... now it always reports that it is busy. I'm not seeing anything in the log tho pertaining to that, but I will keep looking.

thx

Be very carefull with installing from Git! Do NOT install the zip file you download from Git because than you will have the addon doubled on your system.
You must manually unpack the contents of the zip and overwrite the addon's folder.

I will include an option to set a Kodi setting value later today

[badaas]

Can the script read the state of non boolean kodi settings, ie. for default select action in video library; play|info|etc !
