techywarrior 688 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Looks pretty. Is there an option to show the "last added unwatched" and/or some of the other similar lists? I find that very handy after I add a movie it saves a lot of time searching for what was just added to watch. Those 5 posters below the main John Wick box, what are those? Is that the 5 latest movies, random movies? (there is no title so not sure). Also, The main box, is that a random movie, latest, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shot will have the most recent plus "because you watched" there will be a title above each explaining. We will hint at the next section by showing a partial part of it, you will scroll across the screen thru title buttons to execute a fast scroll thru, recently added, unwatched, resume, watched, critcally acclaimed(a user option to set the imdb score) and suggested titles. Thats how the layout will look for each of the option scrollers. It removes the second bar from the home screen and allows for a less cluttered more efficient browsing experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Perfect. That sounds really good. It was one of the things I really liked in Square so I am glad your idea is similar to how ST did it. Something that I just thought of, which may or not be possible, when I press "back" on the remote where will the focus be on this page? It seems to me that the focus is hard coded to be the main nav title (movies in this case) but in my mind I think it would be great if it could focus on what was actually clicked on. So if I click on my next up episode and then decide I don't want to watch it after all, I click back but I now have to navigate back to the big boxes because the focus is on TV in the nav. Just a minor pet peeve and not even sure if it's possible or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3093 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Navigation coding for WMC is a nightmare, but i see your point and it will just make me make it more polished. The good news is..... I have some behind the scenes testers that are constantly feeding me bugs and UI annoyances, so when its rolled out should be epic!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it doesn't delay the completion of the theme too much. This is most certainly looking to be the best theme for WMC yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pr3dict 33 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Ok nobody kill me BUT this is for MBC right? Isn't MBT the new focus project and if so will this be available for that? Also, this looks fantastic, I am still trying to figure out how everyone's HTPC look so polished and I guess these themes are the reason. Can;t wait to try it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techywarrior 688 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) It's for MBC. MBT is the focus for the future but it is currently undergoing a major rewrite (with one benefit being the ability to skin it). Not only that but a lot of people really like WMC, especially for it's live TV functionality so MBC won't be going anywhere for a while (in the homes of die hard users) EDIT: lol, seems Cheese was 5 seconds faster then me.

Cheesegeezer 3093 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Are we there yet? It's funny you should ask.... the answer is unfortunately no. Just got back from my work trip and have a ton of stuff to sort out. I'm hoping to crack on with it soon tho. Believe me I hate leaving things unfinished. Me and Shaeff were chatting about this earlier, we are about 85% complete now, so it shouldn't be long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesegeezer 3093 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Peeps, I have to be very apologetic regarding progress on this theme. I have been so tied up with work (office based stuff ) and home renovations, I really haven't had anytime to dedicate to this. I haven't even spoken with @@shaefurr for over 2 weeks. It also looks like i'll be heading to the Tunisian Dessert again for 4-5 weeks on the 20th April. As soon i can get stuck back into it I will, I promise. The only thing left is to rejig the Home screen and it should be out for full Testing prior to release. Thanks for your continued support and patience.
