Script to Download, Install and Update Git-hosted Aeon Skin/Mod(s) (Version 20091006) - patkhoo - 2009-08-16 Script to Download, Install and Update Git-hosted Aeon Skin/Mod(s) This script is targeted at "Ordinary Users" who just want to get a copy of these skins (and keep it up to date) and who do not make any personal mods or develop code on top of the skins. Quick Info * Downloads, Installs and Updates Aeon Showmix, Aeon Auriga, Aeon Hitched and Aeon Phil65 skins for XBMC * Already includes everything you need - fonts, git, etc * Works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X * Even updates XBMC to latest SVN (Windows only) Quick Start Instructions - How to use: 1. Copy all files in this package (or if this is a self extracting package, unextract it) to a new folder (eg. "C:\Program Files\ASMUpdate" or "~/asmupdate") 2. For MacOS X Users, install the latest Git from http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/ 3. Edit the file "ASMConfig.bat" (Windows) or "asmconfig.sh" (Linux or MacOS X) in the folder and set the options correctly: * Step 1: Configure Path to XBMC Skins Folder * Step 2: Choose the Skin You Want * Step 3: (If Needed) Configure Path to Git 4. Double-click on "ASMUpdate.bat" (Windows) or type "./asmupdate.sh" from your shell/terminal prompt (Linux or Mac OS X) Instructions for Upgrading and/or XBMCUpdate Integration: Please see the README.TXT file Latest Version: 20091006 Windows Download Linux / Mac OS X Download Most Recent Changes: * Added Aeon Phil65 (thanks Mouton!) * Added Error Messages to error conditions - users know where it went wrong * Use "asmconfig" file to set configuration options - easier setup for new users * Changed Windows script to use functions - easy to add new skins or other mods in the future * Standardised operation between Win/Lin/Mac versions of scripts - common script logic * Updated Windows package to include xbcmupdate 0.7.9 * Should now work more seamlessly across Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 * Removed "asmusb", "ASMUpdateExclude.txt" Anyway, I hope users will give it a whirl and help to see if there are any bugs or problems.

Thanks, I do hope it is useful especially to plain ordinary users.. Please do give feedback if there is a problem, and I hope someone on a Mac can test this out as well.. - jeebus112 - 2009-08-16 i have a mac and am willing to test it out, but i don't know what you mean by point it to git binaries. of course i am still half asleep. if anyone could help me out, i will give it a go - patkhoo - 2009-08-16 jeebus112 Wrote:i have a mac and am willing to test it out, but i don't know what you mean by point it to git binaries. of course i am still half asleep. if anyone could help me out, i will give it a go Hi Jeebus, well, first, install Git for MacOS http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/ Then, get the Linux version of this script, and un-tar-gz it somewhere.. /usr/local/asmupdate or something.. I don't know what works best for Macs.. Edit the asmupdate.sh, and on the line where it says "GITPATH=`pwd`/git-linux", change it to "GITPATH=......" where the git binaries are installed.. (/usr/local/git/ ?) i wish I could give more specific instructions, but I don't know enough about running git on a mac, sorry.. - jeebus112 - 2009-08-16 well, the directory is /usr/local/git apparently it is in the rootand i couldn't find it until i broke down and broke out terminal. I have it all set, but when i go to run it xbmc doesn't see it as an executable script, i just get a list of files. I will look again to see if i did something wrong - logictester - 2009-08-16 i don't think you supposed to run it from within xbmc or am i wrong? - jeebus112 - 2009-08-16 Oh for crying out loud, i guess it helps when you read the readme file...geeez.. yup, works (or at least i have it downloading right now) thanks! - kri kri - 2009-08-16 For people running Vista or Win 7, I think you need to point the script to: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\skin I tried with Program Files but I kept getting a Access Denied, even with UAC and running the script as Admin - jeebus112 - 2009-08-16 one more thing, i had to change the directory for skin folder to /user name/library/application support/skin - zwat - 2009-08-16 i would install programs that being updated alot with other software outside the program files folder if using vista\win7. its easyer to deal with then. - ashlar - 2009-08-16 Thanks for this. Really, an heartfelt thank you. I am on vacation right now and can't test it. But the idea is great and it helps in making me want to give Aeon a shot (before I was kind of terrorized my all the different versions and mods). - uncola - 2009-08-16 for Windows 7 64 bit I had to set a line to set XBMCFOLDER="C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\skin" that's if you install xbmc in portable mode.. - paul - 2009-08-17 Thank's for this a great piece of software, a lot easier to use than the official github software. - patkhoo - 2009-08-17 logictester Wrote:i don't think you supposed to run it from within xbmc or am i wrong? Correct, at the moment, this is meant to be run from a cmdline or terminal or scheduler/crontab. That said, I'm sure someone can add an option to a skin/etc to trigger this script as an external application.. Although, one problem is if you are using the skin that it is updating.. sort of like XBMC trying to run XBMC update.. |
