Yup, progress is much slower lately with baby on board.
I’ll get back to you with some more details later so just a quick note - I’m relying on container.content for layouts. This means that in ideal case you are setting them only for movies, shows… and not in filter menus. Queue shoud probably use content(episodes) etc.
Not a biggy though, but it will probably look better.

yeah, my youngest has just turned one (I also have another 2 older ones), so i know what it's like to trying to juggle kids and a hobby at the same time.
Anyway (belated) congratulations

BTW, that makes two of us - I have 2 older boys as well, Anna is our third child :)
Amber (ex Quartz.Reloaded) is on my Git. Except for name change it features Plexbmc support including shelf. Pvr support is not yet finished. See Quartz.Reloaded thread for more info.
Feedback appreciated.
The skin looks really nice, is there something i have to activate in the options to get plexbmc support?
One thing i´m missing coming from Aeon Nox are the fanarts as backround on the main screen, is there an option i missed or is it not possible with this skin? Maybe you could add this option if it´s not there?

There's a Plex/XBMC switch under settings, labeled "Go Plex". That's all that is needed.
Fanart would not work with Plex without extra script support. Besides, I have a problem with that as I have quite a few not so nice fanart backgrounds in library. In XBMC you can set a folder with your backgrounds of choice that would rotate. I would love to implement same option for Plex but have no clue how as home items are dynamically populated.

Ok found it, thank you very much.
In Aeon Nox i used the fanarts from the normal xbmc database, maybe this would work with your skin?
Is there someway to hide photos from the main screen, i dont watch them with xbmc but have not found an option to hide them in the theme settings.
There is an issue where subs don;t get set correctly - this is fixed in a newer version (which I'm currently testing)
i'm looking at this at the moment.
Hey.
I have downloaded the last version from your git (3.2) and my local subtitles seems to work.
Well at the beginning it works, but always subtitles turn off after few minutes and I have to reload the movie from this moment in order to have subtitles back.
With this version (3.2) other problem has appears, I can't use "xbmc subtitles plugin" anymore : when i try to launch the plugin from a movie playing, nothing happens and when I leave the movie i have a little popup that says "XBMX subtitles - The video must be playing".
Thanks again for your work :)

I second this. Same thing with XBMC subtitles for me too... Any fix hippojay?
Would it be possible to make this addon scan Plex straight into the xbmc library?

I'm sure there is a script that exported plex items into a XBMC format (just created a load of .nfo files). - not sure where it is now.
Are you on about keeping the two in sync, or simply export/import from plex to XBMC? The latter is probably fairly straight forward, the former would be more difficult.

There's an undocumented Plex API (well, as in as far as it's not immediately obvious - all the API is undocumented!) I can hit which gives a long list of valid fanart paths to use for rotating backgrounds (http://ip:32400/library/arts). Not sure how to use it though with multi-image. I was thinking of getting the helper to set a window property every 5 seconds which might change the background, but no idea if that would work in practise (or if there is a better way atm).
EDIT: by the way, tried Amber. Looking good. I'm looking at altering the script to fix the multiple "shared.." entries (if you clikc the display shared as manu item setting), which are set per media type - so just need to consolidate them, but this means running a different skin argument (as I have no real way of know what way to display the shared sections). working on it now.

Right - let me have a look. I still haven;t been able to find time to test it properly, but I'll get it on my main TV tonight and see what happens.

Will you be using home rotating fanarts yourself?
Not sure I understand what multiple shared changes (do you have in mind filter screens between home menu and media content?) you're doing in the script are all about, but there's no problem with altering script arguments in the skin.

Thanks for having a look at this. I'm not sure if it's the same / related problem or not, but SRT subtitles are not showing up at all on my end.
- Using Raspbmc with PleXBMC
- Using myPlex credentials
- My own server, but watching remotely, not local.
- Force transcode set to On

I currently use both Plex and XBMC as clients. So I would need them to sync the watch status.
And... you can install Amber skin from the dev repository now:)
Have fun PLEXing it.

Thanks. Got some time set aside tonight to tweak a few things.
Can someone help me please. I got plex on one of my pc and xbmc on another. I am trying to get the plexbmc addon to working in xbmc. All I get is script fail.Can someone please help me to get this addon to wrking in xbmc,please and thank you
So Amber has Plexbmc support so you can add libraries to the start strip? If so I will be all over this as soon as PVR-support is added. Any rough time estimate when you might have PVR-support finished? Thanks for all the time you put in thus far!
Also do the Shelves work for Amber?
