However, straight after I got a popup that xTV-SAF is broken and did I want to disable it. I said no as I've had a lot of these popups with Gotham (normally just after each time I update, it tells me all the PVR addons are broken and asks me to disable them one by one but I'm using tvheadend fine after ignoring that. I do seem to get repeated popups about Random Items script being broken though, not just after updating). I had to talk my brother through updating his Gotham over the phone yesterday and he told me he had these popups and I assumed they were just the same ones about the PVR addons, which he's not using, so told him to say Yes to them, after which he ended up with no xTV-SAF and only Confluence, so that must have been one of the addons it said was broken. It took much head-scratching as to why xTV-SAF had disappeared before I worked out that it had just been disabled and got him to go to Addons and re-enable it!

Anyway, after installing the repo on my system, I went into it to update xTV-SAF but it says "Dependencies not met". So I downloaded skin.xtv-saf.svn-1.3.4.981.zip directly, edited the addon.xml as you explained and tried to install from that zip, but I still get the same error, so any ideas what I need to do to fix that?

could be any of the following

PHP Code:

<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="4.0.0"/>
<import addon="script.xbmc.debug.log" version="11.0.6"/>
<import addon="script.favourites" version="4.0.8"/>
<import addon="script.artwork.downloader" version="12.0.11"/>
<import addon="script.globalsearch" version="1.1.0"/>
<import addon="service.skin.widgets" version="0.0.2"/> 


That is check that you have each one of the following scripts and the version numbers are at least that shown. You will also need to change "xbmc.gui" version="4.0.0" to read ="5.0.0"

other than than I can't really help (it maybe that any one of the listed scripts is not compatible with Gotham)

Yes this is for performance reasons as scrolling text really hammers the system in Frodo (and Gotham) XBMC due to dirty region code not being able to do its thing. Pretty sure XBox does not support dirty regions, but I'm sure it still is a performance hit on that platform to scroll text.

Hope this helps everyone. I have a few more things I want to look at and then I need to hunt thru the skin for untranslated strings and submit the changes to Transfix. So at this stage it will still be a little while before I make a push to the main XBMC repo.

this could help
i actually getting more & more low memory warning
but <include condition="Skin.HasSetting(autoscroll)">scrolltext</include> apperantly not working after i enable auto scroll

can you pinpoint the exact code that disabled it by default ?

thanks wyrm

Lipo,

Look in the Defaults.xml file, code that disables scrolling text is

PHP Code:

<scroll>false</scroll> 


Any tags you see in this file are used for the included controls, Unless you include another version of the tag in the control you are coding in another part of the skin.

Thanks but I tried build 987 and got the same error. I tried force refreshing the Passion repo as well but that didn't help either.

Really don't know what the issue could be. Have you tried to download the zip file from passion and install it from the "Install from zip" option in the addons menu? Other than that all I can suggest is that you post a link to a FULL debug log of a session where you try to install the skin and maybe that can give a hint on what is going on.
