Just included something new (and cool) to the script...

Possibility to add a "sort alphabet" so your views to quickly jump to a certain letter...

Excellent one ! Definitely something I have to implement in my designer ! Great job (as always).

Is this different to pressing shift+1st char or shift+first 2 chars when in a view?

nice...
any chance to implement this also for non-english letters?

No, it's the same except that you don't need a keyboard but instead you have the alphabet listing on-screen.

I don't think so, it uses the "smsjump" builtin command to jump to the letters.
As far as I can see that command only supports A-Z but I can be wrong on this

Got you, cheers Marcel. I never fully understand the great things you keep adding.

Very cool, was able to get this working in just a few minutes. Going to provide a skin setting so users can choose between the standard scrollbar and the alphabet listing. Thanks!

Hi marcelveldt,

You never cease to amaze me! Thanks for your work!

I'm always thinking of adding something new to my mod to make it look better (like you do with your script ). I'm already using the option:

Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Music.TrackList)

...to show a list of the songs of an album at the back of a mockup cd case but, would it be possible to have an option adding the song's duration after the title of every song? something like this...

1 - What I wouldn't do - 3:58
2 - New heights - 4:13
[...]

I don't know if that's possible or even if you're interested in coding that... anyway thanks again!

Marcel,

That's it dude, I'm having your baby. I have been trying to add this to my skin for years and you just come along and drop it in my lap.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Will be adding this to my skin ASAP.

Marcel,

Have tried to use another piece of your wizardry and while it works after the initial problem (initial launch leads to a script error). Using you percentage function called in my home screen for a shelf widget (code attached)

PHP Code:

    <onload>RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=getpercentage,count=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(Movies.Watched)],total=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(Movies.Count)],skinstring=movieswatched-percentage)</onload>
    <onload>RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=getpercentage,count=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(TVShows.Watched)],total=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(TVShows.Count)],skinstring=tvshowswatched-percentage)</onload>
    <onunload>Skin.Reset(movieswatched-percentage)</onunload>
    <onunload>Skin.Reset(tvshowswatched-percentage)</onunload> 


I thought there was an issue with my calling of the script (I tried clearing the skin string before calling the script to help with the error message that was thrown in the debug log) but the first time I enter the home screen I always see the attached error lines in the debug log, I don't see then the next time I enter the home menu, only on the first entry.

I'm pretty sure its something I'm doing, but I can't figure out what the issue is, would you care to point out my error.

Well, that's simple. At that time the property is not yet available (so is empty).
A solution could be to check if the property has a value before calling the script or even better if the value is empty use a timer to launch the script.

Something like this:

<onload condition="!IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(Movies.Count))">RunScript(blah)</onload>

<onload condition="IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(Movies.Count))">AlarmClock(count,RunScript(blah),00:05,silent)</onload>

Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Music.TrackList)
...to show a list of the songs of an album at the back of a mockup cd case but, would it be possible to have an option adding the song's duration after the title of every song? something like this...

This is added now on Git. Remember to flush the cache if you want to test it.
For now I've just included it (without additional option), if requested I can make it an optional setting or different property later.

[Mike_Doc]

can you make it a different property Marcel? perhaps SkinHelper.Music.Tracklist.Duration ? You'll know best. I use .Music.Tracklist and would prefer to just have tracklist only like it was.

Hi Marcel,

Just a quick question, got the latest from GIT and tried plugging this in, it is working but if I select a letter it always jumps to the start of the letter before i.e. select 'E' jumps to 'D'

Any ideas why?

Edit: think it might be connected to having movies beginning 0-9?. If I'm on the first movie in my library, '71, then if I select any letter it does not jump, if I'm on first film with 'A' and select 'F' it jumps but to 'E' so I guess the 0-9 movies are connected? if I'm on 'R' and select 'A' no jump?
