aaronjb Wrote:Fantastic stuff ronie - Transparency! just made a quantum leap forward IMHO, in terms of looks Now it really looks like it's own skin, with all it's PM3.HD heritage shuffled away to the background where it belongs.. if you see what I mean.

aaronjb Wrote:Just one thing - I was using 0.27 previously which worked flawlessly, but since switching to v1.00 XBMC has hard locked on me a couple of times when returning to the home screen. In fact, it did it the very first time I launched XBMC, and has done it once or twice since - sadly neither time has left anything interesting logged in the xbmc.log, and I haven't been able to reproduce it with debug logging enabled

Actually I'm not sure XBMC has locked, but it's stopped responding to keypresses (remote or keyboard) and stopped updating the screen (the clock stops) - but it's using 0% CPU.

aaronjb Wrote:I'm going to try a newer build of XBMC (I'm still using r21138 from Jun 19th) in case it's that, and if all else fails I'll nuke my guisettings.xml (nooo *cries* ) and see if that cures it, in case it's a holdover from 0.27..

aaronjb Wrote:I wonder if it's a problem specific to the Mac? Maybe even to the Intel GMA chipset in my Mini - I'll give it a bash on my NVidia MBP as well, just in case.

aaronjb Wrote:Oh yes - one last thing Not a usability thing and probably personal taste, but.. I find the switch from the pristine clean 'Movies' background to the post-apocalyptic desolation of the 'TV Shows' background a little jarring. Don't get me wrong, I like both, I just feel like a consistent 'theme' would work better from an aesthetic point of view.

Not that I'm particularly qualified to speak on that level

ronie Wrote:Each time you you enter the home screen, it runs the recently added script to update the 'newly added items' info on the home window. Not sure if this can bork things on the Mac but it might be something to look into.
If you can find a way to reproduce it, simple disable the three recently added options in Skin Settings and see if it fixes the issue.

Besides, there's still this topic if you think you can do better ;-)

ronie Wrote:seems fine to me. is the trailer button enabled in the movie info window ?

ronie Wrote:looks like there's supposed to be either a video or an audio codec icon in the empty space.
are you using native or skin based (.nfo studio hack) flagging ?

ronie Wrote:yes, use <enable>Skin.HasSetting(foo)</enable> instead of <visible>Skin.HasSetting(foo)</visible> and remove the slide animations you've added to the buttons below.

ronie Wrote:no, that's exactly how it's supposed to be. if you want videos in filemode, you have to select that option.

rudeboyx Wrote:Nice one on the new release. looks awsome. just getting latest SVN of XBMC and il give it a try.

1 question. has the 1st post (Download link) been updated with the little fixes in this thread. (I noticed that you have edited the 1st post today but it dosent say why)

junk Wrote:My guess is it has. i downloaded v1.00 about a week ago, and that v1.00 is NOT the same as the current v1.00 =)

I'm having problem with XBMC hanging up when trying to go back to home screen (someone mentioned this before I believe). Will look into it a bit more and see if it's related to the skin or to XBMC.

Also, fanart is not displayed when browsing movies in the new v1.00 (did in the earlier v1.00), but same thing there, don't know if it's skin related or XBMC related.

Anyways, thanks for a GREAT skin!

mfsav2 Wrote:No, it does not appear.
Do I have to enable some option?

mfsav2 Wrote:Well is a simple video with NO audio track. I think I'm using the native flagging.
I have the extract media information option enabled.

ronie Wrote:nope, for some reason xbmc is not picking up your trailers.
can't help you with that i'm afraid.

ronie Wrote:yup, that's native.
well there's probably no icon included in the skin for the video codec of that movie...
it's the only reason i can think of why there's an empty space.

mfsav2 Wrote:ronie,
do you use trailers?

mfsav2 Wrote:if yes can you give me an example of a folder structure so that I can try to understand what's wrong?

mfsav2 Wrote:the strange thing is that ALL videos (as they are all offline) have exactly the same format as I create all of them in the same way.

in other words
a.i. Artificial Intelligence.offdvd.avi
and
pipp.offdvd.avi

are exactly the same


So there should be something else... how can I investigate it?

dynamix Wrote:What platform you're on?

ronie Wrote:nope, it's just another download link...that's all.

in a day or two i'll add an update link that will contain all of the fixes so far.

edit:
before anyone starts to panic, that's updates only, not the full skin.

edit again:
modified first post, it now states the reason for my previous editing ;-)

ronie Wrote:hmmm... Transparency! v1.00 was released two days ago and there's been only one version 1.00 so far. ;-)



cheers, you can disable recently added by going to Settings > Skin Setting > Home window and disable these three options:
- Recently added movies
- Recently added episodes
- Recently added albums

about the fanart not showing up...are you using filemode or library mode ?
are your movies stored on a local or network drive ?
and indeed, platform and xbmc version would be useful info too. :-)
