Modifications/additions #2

[loggio]

Hello there,

Since I submitted changes/additions to the PVR functionality, I have made several changes to this skin to tweak things/fix things that I found myself needing or wanting.

If you have a spare minute, please have a look at these changes and consider adding them to the skin. Since I can't see myself finding the time to maintain these mods in line with your skin updates it would be great to see some of this functionality added for eg:

1. the ability to add media sources with multiple paths.
2. Changes to isVideoList expression to allow Genre, actors, directors etc...
3. Ability to enable/disable fanart and poster dim diffusion
4. The addition of "Score" and "Rating" to the video info.
5. Fixes to the file manager to show highlighted items
6. mini video player on all windows.
7. Allow View_Seasons and View_Episodes to work with video addons... Netflix etc.
8. Add PVR osd channels list, and dialog seek bar PVR modifications. (from previous git request)

See the below changelog

please see the attached zip file for the modified files. 1080i.zip

Thanks Loggio, I will consider your work carefully and it is very likely that much of it will be included in the next updates. I much appreciate the effort you have gone to.

I will need to review any changes to the views (e.g. issue #47) very carefully. As you've no doubt seen, the way Pellucid handles views is non-standard and quite fragile!

Cheers, Chris.
