GOOM visualisation in Transparency on Dharma2 - kaas - 2010-10-13

Hello,

Ive userd the Transparency skin with pleasure on the Camelot version and Iv downloaded it to my Dharma beta 2 release but I see that the GOOM visualisation is missing. Can I add/download it?

Thanks! Laugh

Hi,

I had the same problem with Dharma RC2 and just wanted to share.

To activate Gloom all I had to do was to go to:
/usr/share/xbmc/addons/visualization.goom

Code:
sudo nano addon.xml

and add:

Code:
<extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

    <platform>linux wingl</platform>

  </extension>

Not sure why but this addon has the platform information inside its description.xml file instead of addon.xml so xbmc does not know if it is compatible with your platform our not, in our case linux. So it ignores it.
I am really not sure if the description.xml file is necessary at all.

Anyway, I think Gloom is the best visualization for xbmc on linux and thought it would be nice to share this info with the rest of the people around here, as I love xbmc and wanted to contribute something back.

Good luck,

Pedro A.
