    This is probably an obvious one, but it's been driving me mad for best part of an hour and I can't see it!


    From the movie list how do I navigate to an alternative file location (eg usb storage, NAS storage) to view files there?


    Maybe related, or just another newbie question, what exactly does the Root Directory option in the settings do? It says "to remove the .. from being shown in the that folder" so I've tried changing it to various options to see if then the ".." option would appear in the movie list and I could use that to navigate around the system but it doesn't seem to change anything.

    This isn't a skin related question.

    Add bookmarks for them. When you're in the movie list just press the PVR/List button again to add/remove bookmarks with the blue button.

    In settings/configuration you can also allocate the coloured buttons to NAS mounts and bookmarks.


       

    ok just spent hours trying to work out why some of my screens no longer work.


    openatv, have made some skin elements mandatory. WTF.
    Its up to us as skinners what elements we include in the screens. Not forced to put a load of unnecessary crap because they say its mandatory.


    Warning: Skin screen 'LocationBox' rejected as it does not offer all the mandatory widgets 'fileheading, quickselect'!


    Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

    time for some hacks of putting things in a 0,0 and size 0,0. This is why for the last 2 years I haven't updated from 6.4.

    Just logged into github after my extended break.

    I see chaos is brewing again with my version numbers. Only been doing this nearly 7 years.

    I also just noticed quite a few other comments and requests that I will get to shortly.
    Got a huge backlog of work to get through, not helped now that I got openatv 7.2 on my box.



    ...and yes this thread is going to turn into a complete whinge fest while I sort all this crap out.

    And I suppose one day someone needs to teach me how to use gittags. And will that even work with my constant updates and past files.

    I've had a quick look on a repository say jedimakerxtream choose master to show branches next you will see tags and you can create a tag from here



    Although I could be completely wrong 😂


    Also I'm not sure how that would sync with OE Alience

    A guide to creating tags is here: https://docs.github.com/en/rep…-releases-in-a-repository


    The whole point is that there is a tag/version number where you can even attach ipks. People can then pick a specific version. The bitbake files used to make the plugins can then be adapted to use those tags in the version numbers.


    As a separate matter, we could even have branches where you have a main branch that people/distros can build from as well another develop/test branch where you make changes etc. Only merge in the changes to the main branch when ready. Allows you to park any changes without losing them. E.g the unfinished fixes you did for the Picon plugin. Other people will then be more able to assist/contribute . Perhaps you could also allow other people to be maintainers so they can merge, add tags etc.
