Update features/limitations/known issues on forum thread

[ghost]

The forum thread could do with an update. There's no signs of the missing API calls being implemented so these will never be fixed/supported.

Features:

• Manage Covers and Fanarts
• Browse XBMC video sources and search un-scraped files
• Auto-fix path for moved files

Limitations / Known Issues:

• Auto fix path (moved files) is not working
• Rar files are not yet supported
• Image (fanart and covers) upload is not supported yet (work in progress)
• Change thumbnail and fanart not supported for TV Shows
• Image (fanart and covers) upload is not supported yet (work in progress)
• Files tab doesn't work.

Updated installation instructions, the menus have changed a little in Gotham:

Installation Instructions

• Install XWMM:
  • Download XWMM
  • Go to System > Add-ons
  • Select Install from a zip file
• Enable web interface:
  • For Frodo go to System > Settings > Network > Services
  • For Gotham go to System > Services > Webserver > Services
  • Enable Allow control XBMC via HTTP
  • Set Web Interface to XWMM (optional)
• Access XWMM:
  • If you made XWMM the default web interface open your browser to http://xbmc_ip:port/
  • Otherwise open your browser to http://xbmc_ip:port/addons/webinterface.XWMM/

re Features limitations api calls being implemented.

thx, now I know what info to add will be done asap. Whats being done is ot what is done so we can mention what roadmap but also exactly what is supported.

Re: Install instructions

Install still via zip only since xwmm last I checked wasnt in xbmc repos, if that is going to change, then xwmm needs to be more stable and more fully working...

IMO you should submit to be the xwmm maintainer and then resubmit xwmm to the xbmc repos if you wish. idk what slash wants to do and given the lack of updates from him well, its open source, xwmm could do with a new maintainer, I only keep the lights on 💃

Ill update the rest and then close here as appropriate, see below.

This PR should reflect that xbmc is not in xbmc repo and not assume it is, and therefore the zip requirement cannot change, unless we do own repo and tbh I dont know how. thats the only way around xbmc repo.

if you update the pr on the install instructions and squash I will then merge and update forum thread.

thx

[ghost]

I forgot XWMM wasn't in the addon repo. I've updated the instructions.

[un1versal]

ya, you can remove the frodo instructions if you want, the frodo release is not encouraged anymore and I shant be backporting any more fixes to it. It hard enough handling a current dev and a stable release..

O ya rebase and squash...

[un1versal]

I have updated the forums thread and still somewhat a little work to do

Its not complete but its definitely all there. with some clean-up needed.

[un1versal]

have a look now, things are more cleanup in forums.

As for readme the frodo related changes can be dropped entirely.

[un1versal]

As I mentioned on #85 all the readme shoud reflect is references to wiki on this always changing portions.

• Move to wiki, install instructions, (under some faq style) Im sorta working on that.
• Move to wiki current list of features and limitations/issues etc. also working on that.

We would then on the readme make reference to wiki, which would make the readme more efficient and really only talk about project and important project things.

[ghost]

It's possible to add the wiki to the main repository:

git checkout master
git submodule add https://github.com/slash2009/XWMM.wiki.git docs
git commit -m 'Add wiki to main repository'
git submodule init
git submodule update
git push

Now the wiki repository is seamless integrated with the main repository and can be modifed/PR the same as the main.

[un1versal]

sure Ill have a go... lol thx for commands ill see if I can avoid breaking it...

[un1versal]

Done I think? Iidnt think that this was necessary but github must have updated the way wikis work? Sicne I dont have full access to xwmm main repo like settings etc idk really but mm as long as it works and we not downloading the docs with xwmm its fine

missing api

Well afaik that is incomplete and the wiki docs about json is also incomplete at very best.
Ideally look at source and see whats implemented or not, iirc everything including xbmc settings is exposed to json now. really I think all of those are implemented you can set art, but, I would suggest you talk to montellese and request any missing things be added, I knw MilhouseVH had a shit load added because of his script which handles almost if not all json calls.

[un1versal]

yea idk if this is ideal to download a copy of docs with the zip file idk if we need a gitignore to also pollute the addon source. mmm

Cant instead clone the wiki separately? git clone https://github.com/slash2009/XWMM.wiki.git

[un1versal]

also updated http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:XWMM for now.

[un1versal]

@Fyfe
Im not entirely sure that keeping the wiki on main repo is very practical to keeping it simple and easy to maintain.

[ghost]

Agreed it doesn't work as well as I thought it would. Removed in #96 along with a couple of other minor fixes.

[un1versal]

I will have to look more into this wiki matter so it can be handled like a repo (thats how I rememmer it), unfortunately @slash should allow full control of this project so I or you can more easily help maintain it.

[un1versal]

Ive updated the wiki, when you have a chance see if this is still an issue if you notice any discrepancies let me know.

Else feel free to close this issue or mark resolved (you can now do that as you are a collaborator same as me).

@UniversaI I've created some up to date screenshots for the forum thread. Can you update the forum post and change the gallery ID to mCYTe.

[ghost]

@UniversaI can the following be removed from the forum thread

Features section:

• Manage Genres, Covers and Fanarts Not supported/never will again
• Manage Cast (actors) On the to do list
• Browse XBMC video sources and search un-scraped files Not supported/never will again

Limitations section:

• Auto fix path (moved files) is not working Kodi doesn't support this (a never will/has as far as I know)

Kodi doesn't support these anymore (and it won't be returning anytime soon)

• Image (fanart and covers) upload is not supported yet (work in progress)
• Change thumbnail and fanart not supported for TV Shows
• Image (fanart and covers) upload is not supported yet (work in progress)
• Files tab doesn't work. (Support removed due to it being utterly broken)
• Scrapers dont work.
• Adding new media doesn't work. It does work :-)

[un1versal]

Wait... Genres? not supported?

Adding new media doesn't work. It does work :-)

It works but its incomplete. You need to press F5 on WIMM to refresh else nothing happens and person thinks nothing happened.

Ill update a bit sure.

[ghost]

Oops I missed that. Managing genres is supported but managing artwork is not supported.

I misunderstood the refresh one.

[un1versal]

_You know this_.... When you initiate a scan via WIMM new media is added, but you need to refresh the web interface else the updates dont show on interface side.

Its a bit of a bummer that managing fanart and such things will never work again the main point of the interface is to do what you can do in Kodi not just art but all content related management. Oh well.

On one you say it will never be supported, but on bottom says _wip_ for the uploading part.

[un1versal]

What I suggest is for the list of features/known issues is:

• Populate this (Update features/limitations/known issues on forum thread #69 (comment)) with a definitive list of features/know issues/todo list
• I will Link to that in forums thread, so only one point of management of such things exists and we dont duplicate things across different places.

***note updated forum thread a bit and also added your screenshots... thank you.
