[solved] Latest Media Handler - Skin settings - Custom latests items number (1 Viewer)

[ajs]

@catavolt @CyberSimian
Try with LMH Version, put LatestMediaHandler.SkinSettings.xml to skin or theme folder ... and ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <main>
     <latestscount>3</latestscount>
     <tvlatestscount>4</tvlatestscount>
  </main>
</settings>

One problem, play control for Latests only 4 by each type of latests ...
Ie for Music:

    public const int Play1ControlID = 91919997;
    public const int Play2ControlID = 91919998;
    public const int Play3ControlID = 91919999;
    public const int Play4ControlID = 91919901;

One problem, play control for Latests only 4 by each type of latests ... i.e. for Music:

I don't use MP for music (other than for testing), so I am not sure what is the significance of the play controls for latest media:

(1) Would a user want more than four for music? (I don't know the answer to this question. )

(2) If four is all that is needed for music, does it matter that the limit for music is different from the limit for TV? (I don't know the answer to this question, either. )

All Latests type - Music, TV, Video ... have 4 playing controls... If LMH skin settings set number of TV Latests to 5 then one control - without play and context menu future.

Playing control allows you to play the desired item directly from the home screen, change the type, update, etc.

I add to skin setting additional IDs if needed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <main>
     <latestscount>3</latestscount>
     <tvlatestscount>3</tvlatestscount>
  </main>
  <playids>
    <video> <!-- If latestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </video>
    <movingpictures> <!-- If latestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </movingpictures>
    <myfilms> <!-- If latestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </myfilms>
    <tvseries> <!-- If latestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </tvseries>
    <mvcentral> <!-- If latestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </mvcentral>
    <music> <!-- If latestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </music>
    <pictures> <!-- If latestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </pictures>
    <tv> <!-- If tvlatestscount more than 4 - add additional Play IDs for skin -->
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
      <id>NNN</id>
    </tv>
  </playids>
</settings>

If ID added, in log:

... Skin settings - TV, add additional ID: NNN

PS: Not tested

If needed more, I use the facade (up to 10) and that uses only one ID
I do this for all supported plugins except ongoing recordings. There I use the available properties we have so far

 

[ajs]

The opportunity is added, you can use it, but you can not.
As well as additional facades.

As well as additional facades.

Well THAT sounds interesting

This function is not fully verified, the @wizard123 asked for it, but whether it works or not I don’t know
