Luke 42077 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 As far as I'm aware of there's no need to create the collection folders yourself, MediaBrowser will do this for you out of the box if you have the boxsets plugin installed on your MB3 server. In the mediabrowser addon for Kodi there's a setting to "collapse" box sets, I believe it's enabled by default but I might be mistaking here. @@Luke please correct me when I'm wrong here. This is the way it is supposed to work right ? correct. there's a user profile setting for this as well on the server. ideally you shouldn't have a client-side setting and not even worry about it on the client and the server will take care of it.
e123enitan 275 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Thx Guys I will review and reset my server settings and report back
marcelveldt 736 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 correct. there's a user profile setting for this as well on the server. ideally you shouldn't have a client-side setting and not even worry about it on the client and the server will take care of it. Thanks for the reply. And if a user doesn't have the boxsets plugin and just organizes movies in folders, should that work to ? I mean, like mentioned here: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/9255-titan-mediabrowser-skin-for-xbmc/page-53&do=findComment&comment=174550 I'm curious if this supported by MB3 server and if so if it's a bug in the kodi addon that the artwork isn't displayed.

As you suggested I have installed boxsets addon, in the server, yet makes no changes, I strongly think something is missing between server to client in the way they communicate, If it wasn’t an issue in the past and It appears in server with no issue why is not displaying in client (Kodi) ?

blublub 10 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Yes, it should work out of the box with latest skin releases. Just press the button "video extras" in the info dialog Hi ATM my Videoextras arent working at all and I did not change anything - I guess it is a Kodi 14.1 issue. I will report back when I get it to work again
bob808 2 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 If the go to MB mode for movies and select a film I am part way through (in panel/thumbnail view) I get a small pop up asking if I want to resume or restart. If I press resume I then get a big popup in the middle of the screen asking me again to resume or restart. Is this a skin bug?
reluctantflux 39 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 In the kodi video settings, you need to select resume as the primary "select" option. 1
StealthDefender 29 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hi @marcelveldt: every week i give your skin a try, looks pretty nice! Good job so far !! :thumbup: But i don´t know what it is, i have big problems. First i dont understand the meaning of Films and AllFilms (Series, AllSeries) in the Home Menu. Isn´t it the same? The biggest problem is that every time i go to home menu the skin or plugin (don´t know which one) load new data? In other skins there is only loading when i enter a menu like films or series. Sometimes it took one or two minutes to load. Sometimes when i go to the settings it means i should activate the mediabrowser plugin?!?! It is, the whole time. It´s a mess, i would use your skin because its beside 1080xf one of the most impressive themes around there. But with all the errors/problems i have it is unusable for me. Greetz Stealth

Greetz Stealth Hmm, that's not good as it should run fantastic now, even on low power devices. First; to turn of those loading messages simply turn off "show load progress" in the addonsettings. I will take a look in the code to hide the message by default on the homescreen. The message appears because the widgets load content from the addon to fill the lists like "nextup episodes" etc. What I really don't understand is why this takes 2 minutes in your case as it should only take a second or so to load this info. Or do you have a very large limit on those lists setup in the addon maybe ? It refreshes the data once you enter the homescreen, this should also be seamless and without user interuptions. Fo now I'd suggest you to turn off the load progress in the addonsettings, in the meanwhile I'm going to take a look at the skin's code again if any optimizations can be done. Your last problem report I don't understand. What do you mean with activate the addon in settings ? Could you make a screenshot maybe ? BTW: for your comment about the redundant "movies" and "all movies"; this is already on my radar, see http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/17868-mb3-preferences-not-respected-by-kodi/&do=findComment&comment=175646 Basically this happens because I add the nodes from MediaBrowser in the menu by default AND the default "all movies" and "all tv shows" from Kodi are still shown. I'm going to remove the redundant ones from the default skin setting. Edited February 9, 2015 by marcelveldt 1
StealthDefender 29 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hi, thank you for reanswer my problem With the activate addon problem i mean that the skin dont let me choose which library mode i will use! This is the section where i can activate plex and netflix and mediabrowser. Could also be another problem, plugin related in any way (put an question in the plugin section as well! I try the way you tell me to deactivate this setting. What do you mean with "Or do you have a very large limit on those lists setup in the addon maybe ?" Something seems to be wrong in my case, maybe i have to reinstall the whole system. This is the thread i started after a while to tell what´s going on. Maybe yo see something in this. >LINK Greetz Stealth

When I installed the MB add-on, after I configured it, it notified me that it was enabled, but when I went to the Titan skin library section, the Mediabrowser libraries were all greyed out. I then went back to see if I configured something wrong, and found that my MB add-on was disabled. I enabled it and then everything worked great.
StealthDefender 29 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Yes i am sure it is configured and enabled, use it since 6 month !!! Look in the link above where i post ma other problem, maybe it is another problem i have with my nuc´s standby/shutdown. Greetz Stealth
tube82 73 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I have a question regarding the homescreen tiles. I have them show random backgrounds from their respective sections on a rotation. This works as expected, but I would like them to be on different/delayed timers. Currently all tiles update their image at once. This kind of feels like a full refresh all X seconds. I would prefer "incremental" updates of the tiles. Is this possible? Edited February 9, 2015 by tube82

Currently all tiles update their image at once. This kind of feels like a full refresh all X seconds. I would prefer "incremental" updates of the tiles. Is this possible? This refresh is done by the addon in a background worker and you're correct they all change at the same time. Making them change all at a different interval would not be too great for performance I guess. You can already change the default interval for the refresh; MediaBrowser addon settings --> artwork --> background art refresh rate
marcelveldt 736 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Yes i am sure it is configured and enabled, use it since 6 month !!! Look in the link above where i post ma other problem, maybe it is another problem i have with my nuc´s standby/shutdown. Greetz Stealth Yes the problem is definitely related to your shutdown/standby issue. The modded skins rely heavily on the background threads from the addon which set all kinds of so called window properties where the content is named, located etc. If these background threads fail the info is missing and so the skin looses all the items for MB3. Why not use shutdown instead of the standby ? The startup time of a openelec/kodibuntu system is that short my personal feeling is that a standby is no longer needed
StealthDefender 29 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Ok seems clear. But i think the nuc goes to shutdown, because i see a short time the kodi startup screen. This means the system starts new or not? You are right startup time with openelec is very fast.

Isn't this a problem where the network connection is not ready yet at startup ? I had this issue with one of my own httpc's in home and added a delay somewhere in the startup routine to get the network running at startup
