I'll wager it was a simple typo somewhere...I do it all the time.

Great skin but I've found an issue, when you download an addon, le % does not appears. Other skins show this.
Thanks

All Fixed!

Hmm.. It appears that some special characters does not show properly in pop up menus. I use Swedish language and the character "å" does not show. The characters "ä" and "ö" shows as they should though.. Confused


- stoli - 2010-12-07

@Kalliban - that's a known issue and I am waiting for a new version of the font from the creator - someone modified the font to include that one missing character and may be able to provide it to you... I just can't distribute with the skin.

Edit: See this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=655686&postcount=115

Ah, sorry, maybe I should have read through the earlier posts first! Thank you for the link though!

Both logs show that it was hanging when trying to unload python and the skin had already been unloaded:

That "stop python" is the last entry in the logs. That's about as good as my debugging skills are in this case. Have you tried the same type of actions with the latest Night builds?

Thanks,

Hey Stoli,

I had this problem sometimes in Camelot, since then I upgraded to all beta's. I think the problem occurred since Dharma RC2. The weird thing I have been using Night for a 2 days now, and it has never happened.... since i prefer Neon above all other skins, this makes me sad Wink


- stoli - 2010-12-07

@VaLeN - the only python difference between Night and Neon is that I am using the TVTunes script and I don't think Night is any longer. Having said that, if you are at the home screen it would not be running any way. You may want to post the logs to the regular support thread and see if anyone else has something to offer. If it is indeed skin related, I'll do what I can to fix it...


- Kalliban - 2010-12-08

I have found another issue. In TV shows, I'm using the fanart view. It is really nice except for a small lag or freeze for maybe half a second when browsing past the "..". I tried the skin night (since it has the same view) and did not experience this lag there.

EDIT1: I tried to resize the backdrop image curtains.png from 1080 to 720 since I only have a HD-ready TV. I only did it fast to try it so didn't really think about file size and quality and so on. The file ended up being about 300kb larger than the original (!) but still loaded faster. Now the lag is almost gone, so maybe the lag comes from scaling the image to the different resolution?

EDIT2: I deleted the curtains.png file all together and now the lag is completely gone. The problem lies in something to do with how the skin uses the backdrop images. Just a thought: I have useddsfanart set to true, maybe that could have something to do with it? I don't really care if I have a background image over the ".." so I'll just keep the file deleted! I'm a sucker for speed Smile

EDIT3: Just had another thought. Maybe it's because you haven't compressed the media files into textures.xbt?


- stoli - 2010-12-08

I missed re-sampling those down in size when I did the other background images. I'll update them this evening.

Hi stoli. Cast on TV Shows (info screen) is messed up.
Thanks for your hard work on our loved skin.
