c0mm0n Wrote:- how do you remove the xTv startup logo ? (i got the intro video set up)
- how do u change views when browsing media ? (using the xbox remote)
- where's the library gone ? how do u manage it ?
And last, I upgraded to a recent and clean version of XBMC (16/6/8) but I don't have a sources.xml file anymore ; where does xTV store sources infos ?

1 - Sorry, not sure.
2 - While browsing a media list, press left/right (up/down in some view types) and the settings panel will slide in from the side of the screen.
3 - Library is there, in the skin settings page there is an option to link the movies option to library and also an option to have a TV-Show button, update the same way as with other skins.
4 - Use the GUI to add your sources (XBMC) will auto generate a sources.xml.

Problems - richgnoe - 2008-09-03

Help I cant seem to get this skin to work

I have downloaded the last XBMC build and the lastest skin from svn,

I ran build.bat to create the xtv folder.

Un rar the lastest xbmc build and copied it to the apps directory on my e:\ drive

Copied the new xtv folder to e:\apps\xbmc\skins folder

Rebooted the xbox. The system rebooted fine and loaded the default skin. I changed the skin to the XTV skin and it came up however on the main screen it has no letters on the menu

You just copied on your xbox the xTV folder that was in the BUILD folder right ?

Support for xTV to get its own Subforum - neoanderson2002 - 2008-09-05

Hey xTV team,

Great skin! I can't wait for the new version.

I just want to rally support for xTV to be added to the Subforums above. Then there wouldn't be this super long thread!

Cheers,

The reason you're having these issues as I can see is that you have the xbox booted into XBMC and have XTV selected as your current skin.

To resolve, boot to the default dashboard, (i.e. avalaunch, unleashx, etc.) and FTP to the XBOX, and transfer the XBMC in its' entirety and upload the xTV skin as well and you shouldn't have any issues anymore.

How do I boot to the default dashboard?

Go to System > Information > File Manager.
Go to the C Drive
then launch the original dashboard, not the xboxdash.xbe
Once it boots, FTP should be enabled, if not, enable it on that dashboard you booted it.
FTP your data in.
Again, this is the easiest way to put XBMC and xTV in together.
If you simply want to load xTV, then just change your skin to PGIII, FTP xTV in to the skins folder. Once it completes, change the skin back to xTV

it will of course vary with your method of softmod/hardmodding, and what dashboard you chose to install.


Great job xTV Developer Team - livewire2002 - 2008-09-10

xTV Developers,

I must say...you have created one amazing skin. I've been monitoring this forum for quite some time now, and only now recently actually created an account here.

I wanted to send out my many thanks to you guys for developing this skin, it adds a very clean, bold look to the XBMC, and together they have both absolutely transformed the way I listen/watch my media.

Thank you again, through and through we all appreciate it.

Just wanted to say thanks for this skin, i stumbled upon xbmc (plex actually) when I was trying to find something to play 1080p stuff on my hackintosh HTPC. I had played around with other media center apps before but basically gave up, they were either too flaky or too complicated or too ugly, but this is great!

I have a couple noob type questions, apologies if these have been covered before, I did read the entire thread before I posted this and didn't see anything.

Is there a version of xTV with hi res icons being worked on? I saw mentions of a new version but wasn't sure if updated HD icons were part of that. I did manage to figure out how to replace the generic drive icon with a 512 x512 pixel version (took me awhile to figure out that I had to compile the build on a windows machine, but I got that sorted and it looks pretty good) the thing is I don't want to spend a bunch of time replacing graphics if a new super great version is right around the corner - any hints? weeks? months?

Oh and in the main page there is kid of a "glow" or light coming from the top right corner - is this part of a png image or can one turn this off in a menu somewhere? I prefer an all black background.

Anyhow it works great so far and looks fantastic. You guys have all done an amazing job.
