That sounds good to me. Although I rarely look at my games and applications while in XBMC. Other people however could use this feature.

I agree, it wouldn't hurt as an option, but hopefully those Gueax.net guys will write a python script for XBMC that connects to the DB too...

i thought about the python script for it today, downloaded the small ?tutorial? someone wrote on it. doesnt look too bad, but my question is... "Will XBMC provide the python script a hexid#?"

Just added a lot of XPort stuff tonight to the db.. including some custom mini-dvd covers that took all night to make.

. I needed to get other stuff done

Still ahve more homebrew to add, doomx, quakex, duck hunt etc.

Can't wait till BJ adds the progress bar stuff so this script will be great...

*hint* *hint*

I know what you mean, I'd use them for everything. IE, when a game loads it resources, etc.

well i just added a progressbar gosub to the script. Draws the box based on var that is set at each step. Its cude and not accurate right now because i just set the progress all the way down the script, but it might be worth using (?).

The progressbar would have to be dressed up and drawn outside the dialog too.

script on first page updated if anyone wants to see what i mean.

Why do you have SET _contentprogress 200 at the top, then soon after that you set it to 0? You don't have any GoSubs for it when it's at 200.

Also, I'm sitting here rewritting the entire script one line at time, trying to fine-tune it to perfection and I noticed this interesting thing I like to call WTF:

Pssssssst..... Ahem.......

1205 is now up. Let me know if this clears up some issues.

(Oh, has flattspott's internal.xml contribution, too)

lol exactly the reason they teach us to read top -> down and yet i still read the forums bottom -> up.

Edit: flattspott, if you intend to keep the progress bar in there during the re-write, use a range of 0-200 and the following progressbar layout, looks nicer and gives use a greater range to use for more frequent updates and better "movement"

replace all the "successful" messages with the progress gosub, wont slow the script and provides visual info.

true on using the ghetto stuff. but i would just assume go with ghetto till after the this version is released. Let BJ finish the PNP and other stuff he has panned, fix the bugs we find and still provide some kind of user info at the same time.

Everyone knows ppl are anxious for the next release and we know BJ can only do so much alone in so little time. which is why i say that.

just my 2 cents though.

BenJeremy · « **Reply #73 on:** May 12, 2004, 06:54:00 PM »

Yeah, yeah.... progress bar will be slick enough, I just want to get the PnP out of the way FIRST. The longer that stuff sits, the more my brain hurts and I worry I might miss something important.

Yuyu · « **Reply #74 on:** May 12, 2004, 07:45:00 PM »

Just wanted an update , I knew it was on the back-burner of all the ideas (couple hundred or so..??) floating through your head at any given moment...

Thanks for the update though...
