Slight tweak to this recently - if a file that is being checked already has a resume point in it, CPE will allow playback - the assumption being that you've previously said yes to allow the out of order playback for this file, so it's just irritating if it asks again.

Any chance of adding a window property when this is used so skins can change the design of the select dialog?

Thanks.

[bossanova808]

So just set a property (isCheckPreviousSelect, say) when the select is up, then clearing it on selection, is that all you need?

I can certainly do that ... Just checking that is all you mean...

[Hitcher]

Yeah, name doesn't matter as long as it's not empty before the select dialog is opened so skins can use !String.IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(CheckPreviousEpisode)) as a visible condition.

Many thanks.

[bossanova808]

Oh right, so the inverse really - not empty when not showing anything, empty when the select is showing.  Interesting....will do it as soon as a break in work gives me a chance!

[bossanova808]

Sorry - just to check again @Hitcher - is this what you mean?

At start-up, so it's always set (HOME_WINDOW = 10000)

Code:


HOME_WINDOW.set_property("CheckPreviousEpisode", "CheckPreviousEpisode")


And then when the select is raised - clear it, then set it again after?

Code:


HOME_WINDOW.setProperty("CheckPreviousEpisode", "")
result = xbmcgui.Dialog().select(LANGUAGE(32020), [LANGUAGE(32021), LANGUAGE(32022), LANGUAGE(32023)], preselect=0)
HOME_WINDOW.setProperty("CheckPreviousEpisode", "CheckPreviousEpisode")


It feels a bit the wrong way around to me - normally I explicitly clear properties with clearProperty when they are empty.

There is a test version here with the change - could you try it and let me know if I've been stupid or if it works...?

Sorry, I meant it should be empty unless the addon is used for a missing episode. Once a missing episode is found the property needs to be filled but this needs to happen before the select dialog is actually opened.

Hope that was clearer.

[bossanova808]

Ok this should do it then - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kwkznjo1e...e0weq&dl=0 - want to give that a try before I submit it?

[Hitcher]

Thanks, I'll give it try tomorrow.

EDIT: Did quick test to check I can use a different layout for dialog select and it worked perfectly.

Many thanks for adding this feature as it gives skinners an option to use a different design.

[bossanova808]

Great, I'll push it up the pipe then.

[Hitcher]

Just wanted to thank you again and show you the results.

Awesome! I didn't even realise that was possible with those sort of native dialogues.

(Which skin is that?)

[Hitcher]

That's my fTV skin.

See now I keep coming back to this and thinking 'wouldn't that look nice in Confluence'
