Translation of the skin is now handled on Transifex. A huge thanks to all the translators for the great work - it's really appreciated!

As far as I know, PVR is not changed for 13.2. The updates for Gotham are mostly bugfixes.

PVR is changed for 14.x Helix. Is that what you mean?

And can you explain more about the context menus? Does that concern 14.x Helix instead?


RE: [MOD] Rapier 6.0.0 for XBMC 13.x Gotham - IAmTheDude360 - 2014-07-24

Hi Gade,

Many, many thanks for the Gotham update, XBMC feels like home again Smile

There is some small features/fixes I would like to see in Rapier, they are not big or important though.

I use smart playlists to separate my library and use the skin to define the playlists as home screen categories and define them as TV or Movies.

I lose a couple of cool little things by doing this::
  • The widget on the left hand side "xx TV Shows Today" - (TV Guide/Next Aired Addon?)
  • The "In Progress" widget becomes "Featured"
  • The "Recently Added" widget shows items from the whole library, not confined to the section the playlist is pointing to.

eg, My Smart Playlists are "TV Shows" which is "/xx/xx/TV Shows" and "TV Other" which is "/xx/xx/TV Other"

The widget for TV Other will show items for TV shows

Same for movies, "Movies" which is "/xx/xx/Movies" and "Stand Up" which is "/xx/xx/Stand Up"

Stand Up items will appear in the Movies widget

I hope that makes sense!

I only notice these due to playing around with other skins (I know, I feel so guilty...) but like I say, not big or important.

Other than these little things, Rapier and XBMC are running like a dream on all my PC's & devices Big Grin


Thanks again for keeping Rapier going, its been a favorite of mine for many years. I had a blast at skinning back in the early years of Xbox and it is certainly a skill I do not have so there is much appreciation from me!

Hi IAmTheDude360.

Thanks for the nice words - really appreciate it Smile

I lose a couple of cool little things by doing this::
  • The widget on the left hand side "xx TV Shows Today" - (TV Guide/Next Aired Addon?)

I will consider adding the TV Shows Today widget for custom panels on custom categories, although it probably will require a lot of additional code.

The regular Movies and TV Shows categories use service.skin.widgets add-on to define recently added and in progress titles from the entire movie and tv show library.

The custom categories have to use the script.randomandlastitems to define the titles from the playlists. The only possible options from that script is Last items and Random items, which is why you get a panel saying Recently Added (Last items) and Featured (Random items).

You have to define your playlists for the custom panels in the skin settings: Home -> Add more categories XXX -> Custom XXX -> Custom Panel. If you select Movies or TV Shows, you will get recently added movies from your entire movie or tv shows library. If you select Playlist (Movies) or Playlist (Episodes), you can define your category smart playlist and you will get the titles from that playlist only.

I hope this answers all of your questions Smile

Only if you feel like tinkering with it, it isnt a biggie. Im sure some rest is deserved while everyone gets Rapier downloaded Smile

I have little knowledge of the inner workings of the widgets so that makes perfect sense!

Done and done. I never realized that is what they were for. I had set them to this at some point in playing with customs, but clearly wasn't patient enough to let them populate on the home screen. I just saw no widget and thought it was wrong.

They are all there and working perfectly!

And some. Learning something new while having a perfect setup is always a good feeling Smile

Much appreciated Cool


RE: [MOD] Rapier 6.0.0 for XBMC 13.x Gotham - Gade - 2014-07-24

Glad to hear you got everything working!

Nice with a happy customer Wink

If more people would like the TV Show Aired Today widget for the custom category panels, please let me know and I might give it a go.

As far as I know, PVR is not changed for 13.2. The updates for Gotham are mostly bugfixes.

PVR is changed for 14.x Helix. Is that what you mean?

And can you explain more about the context menus? Does that concern 14.x Helix instead?

i checked the version.txt in my xbmc source git directory and it is indeed 14.0. sorry for that. i was confused due to an incoming git change bumping to version 13.2. seems i'm stuck with the ugly default skin as i do not want to go back. the current alpga of 14.0 works so much better than then anything else before. I'm alsway running latest git because there is always something broken in xbmc though it improves slowly^^.

beside of that with your sceen when i open the context menu for anything (a movie or a song) i just see the frame of the context menu window croped down to a single empty line. this happens so far only with your skin,

i'll try to upload a screen shot later or tomorrow.

Cool, nice to hear we got some things to look forward to in 14.0 Smile

Do you use XBMC 14.x with Rapier for XBMC 13.x? This version of Rapier is made for 13.x, so if you do, I don't think can't help you very much. A lot of things are changed regarding the skins with every new version of XBMC.

A screenshot will still be very helpful. Which other skins did you test the context menus with?


RE: [MOD] Rapier 6.0.0 for XBMC 13.x Gotham - Gade - 2014-07-26

Hi all!

I have made a new version with a great deal of bugfixing and minor new features! Please let me know if you experience any bugs etc.

DOWNLOAD RAPIER 6.0.1 HERE!

Available through official XBMC repository!

CHANGELOG FOR 6.0.1:
Code:

Thanks a lot, a_user.

Just to be sure: this is not XBMC Gotham, right? This is Helix?


RE: [MOD] Rapier 6.0.1 for XBMC 13.x Gotham - a_user - 2014-07-27

right. but other themes, refocus, aeon nox, conq, bello and others do not have this iissue even on my current git build (helix).

though of course because you provide a gotham theme this is nothing to worry much, at least for now.
