I think.. But if you really can't wait for it , here it is compressed Textures.zip

If you happen to notice any other errors please don't hesitate to report them.

Thanks Joe but download doesn't work.

For the sake of including it to this project, do you guys want me to spin out the code to its own Viewtype_.xml file? Also, I did go ahead and code up the System Info and Library Stats panel using the Weather Forecast panel as a template. I baked it right into the IncludesHomeRecentlyAdded.xml file, but did not know how you guys wanted it triggered? I was thinking about putting a flag into the skin option and have it only come up when System is highlighted from the main menu, but open to suggestions.

Re the media view, probably would be best in it's own Viewtype_.xml file. I don't mind it in "ViewsVideoLibrary.xml" but it would make it more difficult for others digging around the code, at least if it's seperate everyone knows what it belongs to.

Re the stats minimum visible condition would be (Just have to check that the weather or addons don't try and come up aswell )
Code:
<visible>StringCompare(Container(9000).ListItem.Label2,$LOCALIZE[5])</visible>
+ probably a toggle switch, not too serious, as I'm not too happy with the current settings ATM so probably will redo them soon.




AW: Yet Another Confluence Mod - mad-max - 2012-06-07

@Bayside:
You can make a PR for each feature so that we can review the code...
That way we find the best solution together...if there needs to be done some cleaning, you can simply update the git branch...I think this is the best method as we all have code in front of us then...
But I would at least prefer seperate xml for the viewtype


RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - Mudislander - 2012-06-07

@Wilson.joe re the home screen colours - Sorry haven't done them yet - you're more than welcome to change them and the "Now Playing" stuff if you want.

On a related subject have been talking to mad-max about his idea of setting up the Git properly with a place to discuss stuff, track bugs, issues, milestones etc.
Then we can stop spamming the forum Smile
@mad-max - your inbox is full Big Grin Re the Git - go for it


RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - mad-max - 2012-06-07

Yeah I noticed it...inbox is not cleared...
Will set up GIT later on...

Do you have a full list of bugs, that can be assigned in the issue tracker?


RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - wilson.joe - 2012-06-07

No I haven't talk to him yet about the git.. Didn't realize I was suppose to, and your absolutely right the forum is getting cluttered with messages like this one. Which clearly shows that the
video and audio format images are not lined up right, and it does it in every view, the images
have been sized to the exact size of the original black and chrome ones which appear the same way, but not as noticable probably because of their color. I know you have been busy, its understandable, some of us have a life.. Rofl so I will look over the colors later on during the
week.. well I best try and get a few hours of rest its 4am and I have been at this most of the
night and have to get up early.

I don't have any problem with it either.. as you can see by my previous post
I have been messing around with ideas myself.

What about replacing the media flags with the ones I use in my MOD?
The default ones have that ugly grey background...I like it more transparent...
Any opinion?




RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - mad-max - 2012-06-07

Spamming the forums is over now...
Configured the issues, made two milestones and assigned a few issues to us for testing...
Head over here:
https://github.com/Confluence-MODs/skin.confluence-lite-mod/issues

BTW: I have set the next milestone for sunday as over the weekend a new release should be online...
Next milestone is due 14 days after the completion of milestone 1...
So to say a release cycle of two weeks each version...
Currently this is only a guess...if there has been enough new stuff and bugfixes in more or les time?
We'll see and maybe adjust the date...

cheers,
Max


RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - kevjs1982 - 2012-06-07

Would it be possible to add the BBFC and FSK (German) ratings to the mod as has been done on the main Confluence skin?

Based on

https://github.com/DeMoB/xbmc/commit/a102a08f593876874691fd14823b538be08c1677#diff-0

The changes I made were

In IncludesCodecFlagging.xml after the line
Code:
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,Rated NC)">mpaa_nc17</value>
Add the following lines
Code:
<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:U) + !substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:UC)">bbfc_U</value>
<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:UC)">bbfc_UC</value>
<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:PG) + !substring(listitem.mpaa,Rated PG-13)">bbfc_PG</value>
<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:12) + !substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:12A)">bbfc_12</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,UK:12A)">bbfc_12A</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,UK:15)">bbfc_15</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,UK:18) + !substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:R18)">bbfc_18</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,UK:R18)">bbfc_R18</value>

<value condition="substring(listitem.mpaa,UK:E)">uk_E</value>

<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,DE:0)">fsk_0</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,DE:6)">fsk_6</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,DE:12)">fsk_12</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,DE:16)">fsk_16</value>
<value condition="substring(Listitem.mpaa,DE:18)">fsk_18</value>
(Someone who understands the pattern matching might want to check why some of the BBFC have a ! in them - the U !UC ones are easy enough, but the PG-13 doesn't make sense to me)


Then in the folder "~/.xbmc/addons/skin.confluence.lite.mod/media/flagging/ratings/" extract the files from the zip file at:-

http://kjs1982.me.uk/3rdparty/xbmc/ratings.zip

Restart XBMC and Bobs your uncle (provided you spelt ratings correctly Blush )

As for licences:-
The BBFC ones are from the Confluence commit linked in git hub above
The UK:E one is from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Exempt.png and is under both the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License.
The FSK ones are from Ember Media Manager R and are under the GPL v3 licence

The obligatory screenshots
FSK 12

BBFC 15

(Hmm, does XBMC really need to include the overscan area in it's screenshots? Rofl )

RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - Bayside - 2012-06-08

@Wilson.joe... Thanks for the welcome. I have actually been an avid user of XBMC for over 2 years. I just never really wanted to or had the time to get into its guts. Nowing seeing you and the rest of the gents on this thread get into it has motivated me to do a few things and help out. Thanks also for the link to Gray (previously Gothic). Unfortunately, it did not go together with the background that mrmills gave us the link for as much as I initially thought. However, the background works very well with the Woody theme. So kudos.

@Mrmills... Thanks for the link to the background. I really like the way it goes from light areas to dark areas toward the top of the pictures. It makes sense given the way this skin is laying out. See links to the screenshots to know what I mean.

The spin-off of my new view from ViewsVideoLibrary took me longer than expected. There is quite a few more links and definitions required when trying to integrate a new view than I initially saw. The newbie schooling continues for me :-). Anyway, the new view is called Media List 2012 (not very imaginative) and the heart of the code is in its own file called Viewtype_MediaList2012.xml. Again, the System Info and Library Stats Panel is done and integrated into IncludesHomeRecentlyAdded.xml. I am learning GitHub in all of this so look for all code to posted there shortly.

In the mean time, how about some screenshots? Previous version has been fully updated and now sport a widescreen view. Yea!

Let me know what you folks think. Again, I will sort out my newness with GitHub and transfer the code shortly.

New business... A suggestion.
Playing around with all this left me with a nagging question. What could we potentially do with the Home Add-on Panel to make it really useful? Right now it feels like you have to make a choice between it and the other panels. So here is a suggestion. Maybe it makes sense to make it like a mini-launcher that is on the left-hand (or right-hand) side of the screen. Limit it to 3-4 add-ons but allow the user to define the add-ons by menu item highlighted. So it will show different add-ons if Music is highlighted versus Video versus Movies, etc. Again, just a thought.

RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - wilson.joe - 2012-06-08

For the likes of me im stumped here, and I don't see it .. why are the ratings of movies not showing for me anywhere.. notta in any of the viewsHuh

EDIT: My mistake they are only in one view.


RE: AW: Yet Another Confluence Mod - wilson.joe - 2012-06-08

I agree on the separation of the viewtypes, it makes it easier for others
to review the code etc..

Re Addon panel, that was more or less the original idea as per Confluence you put a few addons up per menu item, however I got lazy and just whacked on the ability to have an addon panel, don't mind re-thinking this, depends what there is a demand for. Personally I don't have the addons on screen anyway as my menu system is made up of playlists and I would still want the recent/random items up.

The whole panel set of toggle switches probably needs an overhaul, it's just been expanding as more stuff has been added. Will probably let it run as is for a while.

Re Git, we want people to use the fork and PR method, however if you're having problems send me your code and I'll put it up for review by the team.


RE: Yet Another Confluence Mod - wilson.joe - 2012-06-09

The git presently doesn't have any themes but the default blue one uncompressed.
Should we have a few in there for people to select from and put the rest elsewhere
for ease of getting to them if they so choose and which ones should be the defaults
in the git.. go with the red,green & blue and place the others elsewhere, or stick with
the default blue as is to keep the download light? any ideas or suggestions?

EDIT: on a quick note Im about done with every a nice set of themes based on the
transparency media files, and they are looking rather nice. Suggestions on themes
are welcome.
