You'll need to 'Force Refresh' the repo as XBMC only checks a couple of times a day for updates.

Tried updating the skin, got an "update failed" instantly, and a downloading 0% dialog on screen, left it to see its if changed, now just a solid white screen... uh oh.
Do I need to be in another skin to update Alaska similar to old MQ2?
Cheers

I had to log into my XBMC box, delete Alaska skin folder, reboot in Confluence and resinstall. Only took couple mins but if anyone else freezes up or crashes this fixed it for me.

This is a know XBMC bug when updating the skin you are currently using.
It's best to switch skins first and then update.

I love the new views. Everything looks great for the time being.
I just don't understand all this talk about the fonts. It is, indeed, confusing

Ah, I thought it was only an issue within Aeon MQ2.
Glad to see TV Tunes

strange .. fresh install .. the download is stuck in 0% for 5min now .. tried to close xbmc .. but not luck .. i'm going to restart the system..

Hm, but what good is the hide option then when it doesn't work anymore? I don't get it.

couple of things in the new version
1 in wall poster view there is no fanart in the background which i think should be added as it looks a littile boring. Also have a look and night skin the wall view on that is top quality would love to see this sort of view added here its very smooth to as yours seems to be abit clunky sorry about what i said but just thought i would put my point a view over
2 the 2nd profile i have you can not hide the music view or tv shows view, you could hide anything on the older version now you can not which i am not to happy about.
why can you not have the same options to hide what you want like you can in the master profile you could on the older skin.
3 you still can not lock the 2nd profile without locking the first or master profile. why do you need to lock the master profile when you just want the 2nd profile to be locked as i dont want the master profile locked. i dont know if this is a skin thing or xbmc
thanks
oh version i am using is 2.2.1
Some things for 2.2.1 - ykmercurio - 2011-01-03 11:05
Hi Hitcher.
As this is my first post here - thanks for the great skin. I think I have tried all of them but still nothing beats Alaska revisited in cleanliness and style. Here's what I have found for the version 2.2.1:
1. If I turn off plot for Info/Fanart views in skin settings it does turn off for movies, but doesn't turn off for tv shows.
2. When going from Info View to Movie information screen I notice that poster dimensions/aspect ratio changes - i.e. the poster is getting "slimmer" which I think is not good. I have scaled/cropped all my posters as your posterframe.png (538x772 pxls)
3. I understand your reasoning for making actor thumbs small, but in my case I have spent a lot of time looking for hi-res images of actors and processing them (Alaska revisited is the only skin that allowed for hi-res actor images and could diplay them prperly) so if possible could you make an option to show actor thumbs just like in 2.1.2?
I keep testing and will let you know if something comes out, but looks very good so far!
