h0bbit Wrote:first i wanted to just say Wow, and thanks! I can't believe I havent stumbled upon this skin yet. I have been looking for a SD skin for my xbox for some time that was just clean since i have so many xbox's setup for family members who are not technically viable.

This skin is EXACTLY what i have been looking for, and works and looks perfectly!

One question however. When using Default sources for movies and TV shows, is it possible to have the back button go to the main menu rather than the video source list?

hObbit,

As mentioned in an earlier post, v0.95 is VERY close to release so I'm not real keen on messing with things too much. But I will take a quick look at what I have got happening currently with default sources. I think I have already done something about this, but it's all become a bit of a blur as to what has been fixed (LOTS, I can't believe the number of bugs stomped in this version).

Version 0.95 Now available - wyrm - 2010-08-08 17:28

Hi Gang,

After a very long wait version 0.95 is now available. Hi-lite's include:

  • Updated on screen keyboard
  • New Music and Video info screens
  • Add-ons support
  • A new view "Banner" for TV shows with banner icons
  • Removing a number of old views (don't really fit with the skin)
  • Updated remaining views (most have media info in library mode)
  • Support for Subtitle selection in the Video OSD
  • Trainers support thanks to Cospefogo
  • Colour themes have had a major update. Can now change the colour of scrollbars and other gui elements
  • Clean up of a number of graphics (Thanks to hObbit for some, the good ones)
  • And numerous bug fixes (thanks to the beta team Smiff, nuzecast and hObbit)
See the [post=417901]first post[/post] of this thread for download instructions. Sorry a number of feature where pulled late in the beta phase due to time constraints, hopefully they will make an appearance in v1.0. Main feature of v1.0 will be to move the skins code to 720p as support in XBMC for skins coded in SD would appear to be numbered. This does NOT mean that you won't be able to use the skin in SD, just that I need to code the skin as if it was running in 720p (xbmc will scale the skin to whatever resolution required).

No doubt there are still one or two bugs left. If you find anything please post to the bug thread.

Smiff,

Thanks for waving the flag, don't worry about the xTV skeptics, as you said they are not the target audience anyway. I have held off getting it onto SSHCS and the other usual download sites as I had noticed a couple of small bugs that I have now fixed, but was waiting to see if there where any others. Have had one issue posted on xbmc4xbox site (fixed) and about to answer another one from this thread.

I noticed that you posted over at xbmc4xbox that in 720p things where less than perfect. Other than the seekslider image issue, what is the problem?

I will approach Bram77 and Craig in the next day or so when I'm sure I've hit all of the obvious issues. Stay tuned.

johnscrub,

Received your e-mail, nothing obvious in the log file (but yes, much easier to read that way). Could you please e-mail me a screengrab of the problem and let me know what theme you are using (white?) and I will see what I have changed. Sorry about the last minute problems, but things were a little rushed towards the end there and I missed checking a couple of things before release. As mentioned earlier in the thread, v0.96 is waiting to go. Just want to make sure that it is up to snuff this time.

johnscrub,

good to hear. Did not think I had messed with the keyboard since I sent you the teaser beta.

So you are running a modified .xpr file. Maybe when you have it sorted you can send me a copy. Just a note, if you are only changing a few of the images, just store the changed images in a .xpr file (give it a different name, eg. johnscrub.xml) and then select that file as a theme. Any image missing from your .xpr file will be pulled from Textures.xpr instead. That's basically the way that themes work. As a added bonus, make a colour default file (the ones stored in ../color directory) with the same name as your .xpr file and it will be loaded at the same time as the new .xpr file. Hope that helps.

Yes it does help and thanks for info!!!Basically all ive done is changed a few of the home screen icons to some other pics i had and made it a little more personal.....nothing worth noting but eye pleasing to me!!Great work!!


Version 0.96 Now available - wyrm - 2010-08-17 03:39

Have just posted a minor update of the skin, version 0.96. Have fixed a number of overlapping fields, Bookmarks and system info where broken and tweaked a number of the views a little. See the first post for download link. I will notify Bram77 and Craig of SSHCS to update their sites to show the new versions, hopefully you should see them appear on the sites within 24 hours.

Now, as mentioned before August is just insane for me in the real world, so there will not be any work on the skin until September. I need to do quite a bit of work to move the skin to a 720p code base, so don't expect another update for a while.

Just the same, PLEASE post bugs or suggestions for improvements to the bug thread. I only have a small beta test team, so there are a number of areas of the skin that just don't get tested. Chances are pretty good that I have no idea about your favourite bug, so if you don't post a bug report it won't get fixed.
