Ah yeah, I forgot to change that to 'Currently' and also the pulsing ! was just a test that I forgot to change back.

I'll get them fixed for the next update.

Also, it seems that XBMC will not notify of updates for my repo (presumably because it's not in the official repo) so you'll have to manually 'Force refresh' on 'Hitcher's Repository' periodically. Unless someone's had the 'Update available' message of course but I haven't.

Hi Hitcher,
thanks for the hint. wall you looks fine now.

but there is still one problem outstandig:
when going into movie details, my movies all seem to have 1-3 minutes runtime. i remember that it was not like hat before when using an earlier alaska revisited version.

also: i installed youtube and apple trailers plugin but can't find these plugins in the alaska skin although they are set to "enabled".

any idea?


- Hitcher - 2010-07-10

Sorry, forgot to reply about that one - it's because XBMC now uses minutes only so you'll have to update your movies.

If you use EMM (and have the latest version) simply update the Meta Data only.

u r a genius. it worked. and it was easy with emm as well.

maybe u missed my edited text:

if i get this one running, the skin will be my chuck norris in my skin list Wink

Videos > submenu > Video Add-ons

Alternatively add a direct link to the Videos submenu for each one in the Settings.

EDIT: Video on how to do this in the first post.

humm, this skin is awesome as usual. Smile but i cannot find something specific..

when i am moving through my videos (not library mode) and i want to delete a folder/file and when opening dialog "DialogContextMenu.xml" i cannot find "delete" anymore.

i am not sure if delete was in this menu before ( i switched from appletv remote (pressing menu button long) - there was a delete) and no i do have a mce remote.

i know i am looking like a noob, but i really cant find "delete" Sad
any ideas?

It's in the Context Menu for me and the skin doesn't control what's displayed in it anyway.

EDIT: Have you disabled 'File renaming and deletion'?

i just installed Alaska Revised for the first time and I am running the latest night-build of XBMC. The png files for the frames look perfect in Windows, but inside XBMC they look "twisted" Sad

I'm really liking this skin a lot, I know the answer (hard!) but has anyone successfully added an item to the main screen in menu 1 mode? I love how that one looks, and if I could figure out how to add a few additional items to it I'd be in total heaven.

Hi Hitcher,

here is the addons.xml infos located to Spanish:

Worked like a charm!
Thank you very much.
PS: Just as a suggestion, maybe it would be best to mention this in the first post.

It's not a skin problem though it's a graphic card one -

You'd also see it with your fanart if you enabled compressed textured using this advancedsetting (although you wouldn't now you're using <restrictcapsmask>4</restrictcapsmask> of course) -

Not easy.

Why not simply make use of the custom submenu buttons - that's what they're for after all.
