***ONLY*** have textures.xpr in your media directory. If you have all the other .pngs and folders and etc it will still work BUT it will be all slow and buggy.

so once again. for xbox users: you should only have textures.xpr in your media folder.

It helped me and the skin(rev3) is running smooth as s*** even with fanart.
Hope this helps.

As a general question, I'm hoping the games menu could get some treatment as well. I would love to see a multiplex view here where the "info" could be reviews from GameSpot or just general info about the game (Genre, GameSpot rating, Fan Rating, Age Rating, etc). Just throwing out an idea. Love this skin.

shokka9 Wrote:yes yes... (hi)

any ideas why when i am in my movies folder...my music backdrops appear

also, how do i set it up so that it shows me the nfo info when i pause on the movie??

I have all my movies in folders (their own) in a single movies folder?

help would be really appreciated.

paul Wrote:not too sure i know what you mean about the info, do you mean the plot info , the flags info or time left to run/time and end time?

paul Wrote:Upgrade xbmc to the latest Nightly Builds just google for xbmc nightly builds and you will find it easy enough and there only a small download.

paul Wrote:Cf2009 has just done a partial fix for his mod pack at my request have not tested it but i think it will work fine he has done 1 pack without submenu and 1 with submenu will test them and let you know.

"Full settings reset" - does that mean deleting the user gui settings xml file? I've done that each time I FTP the new skin over (after backing it up). Is there something else I should do?



Woa now nelly! Complete reinstall? I'm not that brave as I have a softmod and don't want to go through all that again. I just know there is some little thing somewhere that I need to blow out - but I'm a newb and don't know where to go looking.

I really want to get your latest and greatest in action! Any other thoughts?

paul Wrote:because xbox runs much better using thetextures from a compressed folder(don't ask me why)

shokka9 Wrote:yeah bro, this is what i mean, on the older Aeon (& MediaStream), when i was going through my movies, and paused on it, the plot etc would appear..

now it doesnt, i seen this screen shot and i cant get mine to show up, i know i must have something not set right..(this image is not the one i seen), you get the idea tho. Hopefully



Not sure about the backdrops in movies either? Other than this is works fine...like it.

Thanks Paul..

Paul, does this mean we'll have a release from you with cf2009's original sub menus? This is the only thing that has stopped me from using rev3, I test it but don't use it.

Also, in another thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=325012&postcount=9) you thought about incorporating a multiplex footer in showcase view. This would be an awesome addition or option to your version.

Thanks for your hard work! Much appreciated!

Cranial Wrote:If you've made sure you have Textures.xpr and only Textures.xpr in your media folder, then the next option is to do a complete overwrite of xbmc with the latest nightly or T3ch release, incuding userdata and skin folders, and start again. Can't remember when, but I'm pretty sure there was a change in Library, and I had to rebuild mine. Also, if you've at some stage gone from a newer to older release, you're .xbe might be corrupted.

Cranial Wrote:Ask me why!!! ha.

I believe it's due to the all the media wrapped up in the Textures.xpr being compressed into a format that's native to the xbox, requiring much less cpu and mem usage when rendering the images.

Disclaimer: This is just my take on it, if I'm wrong I'm sure a dev will spot it and admonish me accordingly.

paul Wrote:If you want cf2009's submenu download these patch files and overwrite your exsisting ones for now but the next release i will give you all two 720 folders then you have a choice of submenus though you would have to rename the folders. any way download here

paul Wrote:Yeh i am still waiting for the guy to finish his mod. then i will add it to the skin assuming djh's code doesent change too much to stop it from working which is why i pulled cf's mods out of my last release cos it stopped working corectly with multiplex....what a bummer

paul Wrote:I think your right just for a laugh have you tried using xprexpress to compress your textures using the highest compression setting it runs really well but the problem is it looks blloody awfull try it youl see
