I'm not, it's too complicated and adds loads of visibility conditions and includes.

Hitcher Wrote:Be careful though because both version will use the same userdata folder and could run into trouble trying to use an older XBMC when it wants to access the database.

my userdata folder is in the xbmc folder would it be best to

backup the xbmc folder, then install the latest svn of xbmc and then install the new skin.

after i have played and say i do not want to use the latest svn build delete all the xbmc folder then replace it with the backup i did to get it back to the way it was.

i would not add any more music,movies or tv shows to teh libaray anyway when testing it out is this the best way to do this ?.

does the latest svn install anything other than a new xbmc folder or does it install other programs in other places of the pc hardrive ?

thanks.

oh alos what do you use to get all your info for tv shows as the default one does not seem to get the running times in the info.

So you're running in portable mode then because it's normally in the users documents folder?

Everything is installed the XBMC folder.

quebert Wrote:Well Hitcher said to try adding the HD using the file manager, I will try that when I have a chance. But I don't think it's a wide spread bug because aside from you it seems to be working right for everyone else. Definitely something we should look into though. You said "had" did you end up fixing it?

I did a similar fix, i burnt the zip file to cd and ran it off the disk to do the initial install

Ok, again I'm either blind or something isn't set up right. 1.13 is out and mine's at 1.12. I have "auto update" enabled for add-ons, but it's not going to 1.13. And the update button's grayed out, so I can't even manually update it. What am I doing wrong here? Right now it looks like I'll have to uninstall Revisited and re-install it to get 1.13. Does the auto-update option not work yet?? I know I could uninstall and reinstall the skin to get 1.13 but that definitely can't be the right way to do it.

*EDIT* I uninstalled 1.12, restarted XBMC, re-installed and 1.12 still came up. I learned 2 days ago that SVN's don't give me the latest version, so how the hell do I get 1.13?

Hitcher Wrote:Updated now anyway -

1.1.3
Added: Custom buttons to Movies and TV Shows

Thanks for this very useful addition, however I found a small bug. It seems that the custom buttons are not showing up if every other submenu is disabled. If I re-enable at least one of the default submenu's (like 'New Movies') the custom submenus do show up.

yes, i am i thought it best to keep everything in the xbmc dir as i did not want it all over the shop.

is this the best way ?

oh also does your skin support order by date in the tv shows as i have some tv shows that have all the season from 1 to 6 and the specials at the end but in this mode there not in the right order as some specials are in between seasons.

i dont know if you have added this feature to this skin as the orig version does not let you select anything it just keeps it as name order.

eg 24 season 1 to 6 then a special then season 7 to 8 but as i view it now its season 1to 8 and special at the end.

is it possable to have a date order in tv shows like in movies ?

'Auto Update' checks every 6 hours if there's a newer version available and I can confirm it works as I have it on my HTPC. If you want to get it before it's been checked then simply 'Force Refresh' (context menu) on my Repo in the Add-ons settings.

Thanks, it was working ok for videos just not Music, Movies and TV Shows - I forgot to update them.

Fixed for next update.

That's nothing to do with the skin unfortunately, it's just XBMC.

Not really, the best way is to have it separate.

Its more of a personel preferance i prefer to run -p and keep everything in the same folder also means i can copy
that folder onto one of my other media players (I have three) and it keeps all the settings.
it also lets me play with more then one svn install.
