Back to Beta - fredphoesh - 2011-06-08 23:53
Hi there Ronie,
I don't know if you remember me from the beta cycle?
I was one of the people who had been pleading for something like this for a long, long time, so your work on the LastFM script is massively appreciated.
I have not xbmc'ed for a while, and the script was not working, so I uninstalled from settings, then re-installed. It says it is installed but there are no images displayed at all. I seem to remember it working without much else to do... I am pressing TAB to go full screen, and whether I choose another visualisation or "none" there is no slide show.
Any ideas, could remnants of the beta files in my folders be messing with the release version?
Thanks again,
Mark.

not likely, but you never know.
you could check your debug log if the script does start at all.
what skin are you using ?

Hi Ronie, thanks for the response...
I'm using Transparency.
I will do a debug log next time I run xbmc...
AFAIRemember, I did not have to "start" the script, it was automatically started as a visualisation, right?

that's correct, the skin will start the script when you enter the visualization screen.
would that be T! 3.11.7 ?
if so, the latest update of the skin probably wiped the modded MusicVisualisation.xml file.

aah! yes, my htpc is not on, but there definitely was a transparency update in the last short while... but I re-installed it from the Add-ons in settings, so wouldnt that xml file have been re-installed? Or must it still be added manually?

still manually.
only the svn version of T! will have it by default.

addon repository - fredphoesh - 2011-06-09 16:44

the addon is available in the official addon repo, for both dharma and eden-pre
Hi Ronie,
I have looked on the xbmc.org site, and in the forums for something that is called addon repository, but cannot find it.
Do you mean the add-on function within xbmc? If so, I have installed there, but as you told me last night, I would have to copy the xml files to the appropriate directories manually anyway.
Sorry for being a bit of a dolt!
I do have the files i had downloaded previously, but dont know if they are they are the latest versions:
script.artistslideshow-3.zip
slideshow-transparency.zip
thanks again,
Mark.

yes, just use the addon browser in xbmc to install the script.
for the rest, all you need is slideshow-transparency.zip

Tx, I installed the script via xbmc last night and it did not work, so today copied the MusicVisualisation.xml into the 720p folder at C:\Users\mark\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.transparency\
and all is fine...
I will continue to do some testing WRT the slide show getting stuck on one artist at some point... If it happens again I will ardently try to figure out why it's doing that. It MAY have something to do with one of the large collections which is tagged Album Artist - Various Artists and the Artist tag is unique for each track.
speak soon, tx again for the fantastic addition!
Mark.
