How is it possible to use <visible> to show/not show the contents of a label, based on the flag: watched/not watched?

EXAMPLE:
<visible>!Control.IsVisible(50) + !Control.HasFocus(499) + [true | System.GetBool(videolibrary.showunwatchedplots)]</visible>

But in my skin (confluence) this doesn't work.
I need a more immediate and simple command based on the flag watched/not watched.



Thanks to those who will help me...

hm. some

for the whole container, i think it should be
System.Setting(hidewatched)    Returns true if 'hide watched items' is selected.


For list items there are a few, depending on use case, you can create some mix.
some examples

txt:
some common bools

[Integer.IsGreater(ListItem.PlayCount,0) + !ListItem.IsResumable]



based on (core) image detection 

String.IsEqual(ListItem.Overlay,OverlayWatched.png)

String.IsEqual(ListItem.Overlay,OverlayUnWatched.png)



new in nexus (for tv show/season items)

String.IsEqual(ListItem.Property(WatchedEpisodePercent),100)



pvr ( may not that correct in terms of watched state, but has some other benefits)

ListItem.HasEpg + String.IsEqual(ListItem.Progress, *maybe 100 ? idk*)

I think I have not quite understood how to use it.

I need it to hide the title of the TV episodes not yet seen, (to avoid spoilers).

So i use it with skin confluence, in the library section of kodi> tv shows
(The "hide already seen" indicator is disabled and I don't use it)


In this piece of code:

<include name="MediaListView4">
...
<control type="label">
                    <left>10</left>
                    <top>395</top>
                    <width>400</width>
                    <height>30</height>
                    <font>font24_title</font>
                    <textcolor>white</textcolor>
                    <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>
                    <align>left</align>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
                    <visible>!Control.IsVisible(50) + !Control.HasFocus(499) + [true | System.Setting(hidewatched)]</visible>   (?)
                </control>

How can i use the item you provided me with?

Thanks for your help

some examples - choose one , and test (may wished use case is covered)
    a) no title based on watchedoverlay icon
    <value condition="[container.content(episodes) | string.isequal(listitem,episode)] + String.IsEqual(ListItem.Overlay,OverlayUnWatched.png)">$INFO[ListItem.Season,s:,]$INFO[ListItem.Episode, | e:,]</value>
    
    b) no title if either NEVER watched - just good if you wanna rely just on playcount
    <value condition="[container.content(episodes) | string.isequal(listitem.dbtype,episode)] + Integer.IsEqual(ListItem.PlayCount,0)">$INFO[ListItem.Season,s:,]$INFO[ListItem.Episode, | e:,]</value>
    
    c)    based just on progress is maybe to viable thing you looking for, watched less than 10 percent
    <value condition="[container.content(episodes) | string.isequal(listitem.dbtype,episode)] + Integer.IsLess(ListItem.Progress,10)">$INFO[ListItem.Season,s:,]$INFO[ListItem.Episode, | e:,]</value>
    
    d) based on global kodi setting setting "dont show plot " for unwatched item - listitem.plot will return the 
        localized string id msgctxt "#20370" than which is msgid "* Hidden to prevent spoilers *"
    <value condition="[container.content(episodes) | string.isequal(listitem.dbtype,episode)] + String.IsEqual(ListItem.Plot, $LOCALICE[20370])">$INFO[ListItem.Season,s:,]$INFO[ListItem.Episode, | e:,]</value>

xml:


<control type="label">

    <left>10</left>

    <top>395</top>

    <width>400</width>

    <height>30</height>

    <font>font24_title</font>

    <textcolor>white</textcolor>

    <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>

    <align>left</align>

    <aligny>center</aligny>

    <label>$VAR[i_try_explain_via_variable]</label>

    <visible>!Control.IsVisible(50) + !Control.HasFocus(499)</visible>

</control>



<variable name="i_try_explain_via_variable">

    <value condition="[container.content(episodes) | string.isequal(listitem.dbtype,episode)] + String.IsEqual(ListItem.Plot, $LOCALICE[20370])">$INFO[ListItem.Season,s:,]$INFO[ListItem.Episode, | e:,] or whatever should be used</value>

    <value>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</value>

</variable>

@mardukL

Thanks for the code provided, I believe we are close to the solution.

I believe it is option A.
I've tried, even changing the code, but can't get what I need.
I made this picture scheme to make you understand better, I think I don't need all that code you provided me, I think the option is simpler.

Forgive me, and thank you for all the help you are giving me. 🙏

There are 3 photos in sequence, to try to explain myself better. see all 3 pictures...
I hope I have explained myself better.


How can i get the view as the first and second picture merged?
(without going through to comment on the code and then not seeing any title even for the episodes already seen)

I think @mardukL gave you the correct answer already. Use the Boolean expression String.IsEqual(ListItem.Overlay,OverlayWatched.png). That will be true whenever an item has been watched. Plot visibility for unseen items is controlled in the system settings.

xml:


<visible>!Control.IsVisible(50) + !Control.HasFocus(499) + String.IsEqual(ListItem.Overlay,OverlayWatched.png)</visible>

@QuizKid It works perfectly!!!
It is exactly this line of code that I needed. (I couldn't quite understand how to insert the various parameters between them).

Thank you very much @QuizKid 

Yes, @mardukL gave me many options, I was interested in option A, but I haven't been so good at knowing how to use it correctly. (I think also because something similar was already inserted in the code, but in a different form with a different result). @mardukL , I really thank him for all the options He has provided me, and for his time that he has devoted to me to be able to arrive at the solution. 🙏
I believe that the options he has given me can also be useful for many other users and I thank him for that.


Thank you both, this thread can be closed...

@"alberto1998" glad you got it working!

[mardukL]

@"alberto1998" also glad you figured it out.
( may my thinking about options is a bit complicated sometimes )
