smart playlist to select WATCHED episodes

$
0
0
I'm trying to build a smart playlist to select a ramdom bunch of previously watched sitcoms. But I can't get the playcount to work.
If I select playcount is 0 I get all of the unwatched items but I try anything else I get an empty list. I've tried
playcount isnot 0
playcount is 1
playcount greaterthan 0

All of these return an empty list.

Here is my complete smartlist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>sitcoms</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="genre" operator="is">
<value>COMEDY</value>
</rule>
<rule field="playcount" operator="greaterthan">
<value>0</value>
</rule>
<order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>

BTW, I first tested the genre selector by leaving out the playcount and it worked. It only fails when I can the playcount.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Strange Audio Issue using Laptop

$

Hi,

I've a new laptop running Windows 8.1 as my dedicated XBMC PC.

It's connected to my HDTV via HDMI, so I set this via my amplifier.

All TV & Movies play audio via HDMI as Stereo or DD 5.1.

However some trailers insit in playing audio through the internal laptop speakers and I can't establish why.

Any ideas?

w/Laptop, do I mirror screens or not?

Very new to all this.

Set up xbmc on a dedicated laptop attached to my beautiful Panasonic P65GT50.

Before xbmc, I had been streaming movies from browsers using the Panasonic as a separate screen (NOT mirroring). All had been fine, I was able to see full screen movies out of any browser by dragging the browser to this 'second' monitor. A bit clumsy and hands on, but worked.

However, with xbmc, since it's an application and not a browser, 1) I cannot figure out how to move the image to the Panasonic. And 2) If I mirror the Panasonic from my laptop, the image is there on the Panasonic, but smaller than full frame, with a black frame around it.

Please let me know if you have any ideas as to the proper work flow for all this.

I should add I've been using Roomie Remote for about two years and plan to have Roomie control xbmc when I figure out the screen situation.
thanks.

Audio rip music file naming not working

$
0
0
I just got xbmc working properly with my synology NAS. At this point, I wish to rip my huge CD collection into mp3. I'm then going to put the CDs in storage. Good plan, and I thought xbmc would make the ripping part easy with the built in ripper which scrapes data.

When I start ripping a disc, the ripping popup says it is ripping and even has the correct name of the track in the ripping status. In the end, though, the files it rips have nonsensical names (as does the album itself). I am saving these rips over the network directly to the NAS, if that makes a difference.

Examples of some of the names it has assigned files. All examples are from the same rip:
0PWK16~O
0RNLM6~Q
05. Rampal Stern Rostropovich - Divertissement No. 6, Op. 100 - D Major - Allegro moderato; Adagio
09FYCI~5


The album (folder) name:
ROWDC6~T


As you can see above the files follow a naming pattern. It seems to always be 6 characters followed by a tilde then another character. On some occasions it DOES name the file properly as you can see above. I don't see any pattern to the cases in which it names properly and which it does not.

This is the xbmc version eden running on ubuntu 12.04

allow more than 999 screenshots

Hello together

Please change the source code, so XBMC can store more than 999 screenshots!
OR warn the user or something.

But with the current source it just stores 999 screenshots and then stops saving them and the user doesn't get a notification or something like this!

I love XBMC but it pissed me off, when I had to find this out the hard way.

Kind regards

Favourite Items in customized main menu

$
0
0
I have customized the main menu by using Settings/Skin Settings/Customize Main Menu and added 5 Favourite Items under Favourite Sub-menu. But when I go to the main screen, I can see only 4 of them. When I switch to the custom setting page, the 5th Favourite Item is marked as "Item not Used" even though I have used that item. How can I make sure that all the 5 Favourite Items will be visible in the main menu all the time?

I also have an issue with the FF/REW/PAUSE/PLAY/STOP buttons that show up at the bottom of the screen when I play something. I have already customized setting to minimize the number of buttons. But there's an annoying feature of that is that one has to bring the desired button at the center in order to use it which is pretty tiresome. Isn't it possible to use any of the buttons no matter where they are rather than greying them out?

Widgets and weather issues

$

Ok, two questions.

1) Is there a way to turn off all widgets? I've disabled all widgets that appear in the widgets settings, but I still see them in a custom menu that includes DVD play button, eject, an advanced launcher for VLC, and a Chrome launcher for Amazon Instant Video.

2) Weather functionality appears spotty. I can only seem to use Yahoo weather across all skins in XBMC (the others are not downloading conditions and forecasts properly), but in MQ I cannot get forecast data. Only the 'retrieving data' message appears. I see forecasts correctly in Confluence.


Thanks

How the heck is that possible? Any ideas?

Thnx

Ember issues Scraping Sets & URL questions

$
0
0
I'm using the current build .18.

When using Ember to add sets, I get the following. Even if I delete the NFO and try again or remove all sets and manually add sets, I get this.

< set/>
<set> Star Wars Collection </set>

With no set, all my NFO files show this
<thumb />
</actor>
<set />
<fileinfo>

There is no other set tag in the whole NFO.

What the heck is the < set/>? It's stopping XBMC from finding the set. I didn't have XBMC set for sets when scraping, but I do have Ember moving them. Is there an easy way to just have something scrape my NFO files and kill it? I don't want to take 9hrs scraping again.

#2 Also, in Ember, if I have a file it can't figure out, it just randomly scrapes 1 single cover for each movie it doesn't understand. This cover is of some Asian porn movie. It doesn't matter what my title is, I get this cover. Any way to stop that from happening? I'd rather get NO cover than have to scrub each file down to make sure they're family friendly. I see that this is a known issue and is being worked on. Hopefully in the next update.

#3 Do I need URLs for anything in XBMC? If my NFO has no URL info, what happens? I scrape the actor thumbs, have 1 fanart, and 1 poster. Is that good or does XBMC require the URL for something reflecting to the thumbs? It seems that most of the time, when I click to NOT save URLs to my NFO, there are always a dozen URLs anyway. Most are fanart thumbs or actor thumbs. Ideas?

Thanks!

Working with Roomie Remote

Have XBMC on my mac laptop. I've successfully gotten Roomie Remote to control PLEX but I want to move to xbmc for many reasons. xbmc is working fine on my laptop but I can't get roomie to control it.

I'm using the same ip address i used for Plex so that should be no problem. I've tried on both port 80 and 8080 as indicated in the room forums and tried both the server and JSON command set. it won't appear automatically so I'm don't it manually, but the remote just won't control (talk to) xbmc. Again, Plex is working fine.

Any ideas??

Hi
I've just started using XBMC and have read through the forums here and done a few searches, but having recently put a Crystal HD 70015 into an Apple Tv1 which has the latest Firecore software and XBMC 11 I've been experiencing terrible playback with 1080p files.
In the XBMC settings I can see the option to use the Crystal HD and I've selected it.
With 1080p H264 files, either stored internally on the ATV1 or streamed from my NAS, which is on a 1ghz switch, the playback is terrible- really stuttery and unwatchable.
I'm considering going down the Openelec or Crystalbuntu road, but wanted to ask if :
- I should be getting decent playback with the card installed but without openelec or Crystalbuntu
- If the card isn't properly installed in the ATV1, would I still get the option to select Crystal HD in the XBMC settings?

Tomorrow I'll try and find the log file and upload it here, but based on how playback is right now I think it's possible that the card isn't seated correctly ( I didn't put it in, my brother in law did as he's more tech savvie than me)

Also, am I right in thinking that I should have 1080p selected for video output in the Apple TV settings?

Thanks very much in advance if anyone can help / advise!

Regards
Herbie

cdArt and central music db

$

Hi,

I'm storing all my music files on a central NAS and also arranged the XBMC music database to be on the NAS. Main reason is, that I want to maintain the database (updates etc.) via my PC-XBMC while using it also via my mediacenter-XBMC. Basically this is working out fine.

Currently I try to add fanarts etc. to the library via cdArt manager. While storing my music in //.../music/albums/, I directed my fanarts to //../music/fanart/. As far as I understood, cdArt manager also creats a database for the fantarts etc, I assume locally with the XBMC installation. Is there a way to have a single fanart database centrally on the NAS, which all the XBMC-clients can use?

Best
harry

PS: I'm using Frodo 12.2 and standard Confluence skin.

Add new menu item

Hello,

I nearly searched 2 or 3 houres and It still doesn't work.
In sources I added a path \\diskstation\Kids where I put all those Kids movies.

Now I want a new Menu Item on the Homescreen with the name "Kids" (this part works).

But when I open the menu "Kids" it gave me a blank screen.

This is my sources.xml

Code:
<sources>
    <programs>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
    </programs>
    <video>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>Films</name>
            <path pathversion="1">smb://DISKSTATION/Films/</path>
        </source>
        <source>
            <name>Series</name>
            <path pathversion="1">smb://DISKSTATION/Series/</path>
        </source>
        <source>
            <name>Kids</name>
            <path pathversion="1">smb://DISKSTATION/Kids/</path>
        </source>
    </video>
    <music>

        </source>
    </pictures>
    <files>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
    </files>
</sources>


This is a part of my Home.xml

Code:
<item id="19">
<label>Kids</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,Kids)</onclick>
<icon>-</icon>
<thumb>-</thumb>
</item>

I already tried to work with a Smart playlist but it gave me also a blank screen. So is it possible when I click on "Kids" that it's a Shortcut to Video's --> Kids and it show me the content?

Update to 1.3.18 or 1.14beta?

Hi there,
just a short question: what would you suggest - updating to 1.3.18 or 1.4 beta?
I still use 1.3.17 and it gets annoying with the small fanart-pictures...

And if 1.4beta is the better solution, is there maybe a howto for the update. It's always a little exiting if the sources and all the rest are still present after updating. Tongue
