Thanks Smile
I've hacked around with the activity splash and can't seem to get it to work without crashing XBMC. I suspect some sort of XBMC bug.
When I get some time I'll see if I can't replace the splash with the activity indicator on the main windows.

Hi ruuk i've given forum browser v1.1.2 a real going over using frodo rc1 on a fresh install of xbmc and forum browser and all is well splash is working as it should ,I cant find anything wrong yet, but i'll keep trying. Big Grin Thank you.


v1.1.3 - ruuk - 2013-01-25

Version 1.1.3

Changes:
- Vimeo video links now work again (Vimeo plugin must be installed)
- Fix for some issues with skin modification installation and detection
- Brought back activity splash (seems to be fine in Frodo RC3)
- Added 'Disable Activity Splash' in settings:advanced in case anyone still has issues

On my REPO.

Hi ruuk
Thanks for the update Smile
I've done some testing today......

XBMCBuntu Frodo RC3 on live usb stick - V1.1.3 Forum Browser - Confluence skin.

Did a fresh install of XBMCBuntu & Forum browser, the skin mod worked ok.
Vimeo videos play a treat nice one. It pulled Vimeo addon and all it's dependencies, as I hadn't got Vimeo installed
(I used the Vimeo link from post 396)
The square activity splash is working nicely, and the deactivate button also works

There was an intial problem with the skin mod in that Xbmc wouldn't reboot after it installed
but I recreated another usb xbmcbuntu stick & the skin mod worked straight away.
Historically when I create a usb xbmcbuntu stick it can be problematic with addons
but once it creates correct everything works nicely.


I've just added a forum from the online database & noticed that after selection of the forum you are taken to the active forum main page
It would be nice to still be in the add a forum list once you have confirmed selection

An observation I made when browsing your repo, checking out your addons before any were installed
when pressing i button on the keyboard on forum browser then clicking the change log it says no info found
once Forum browser is installed I do the same and I can see the change log details

Tested onLinux box with Eden v11 installed and all worked ok aswell Smile

Could really use a search facility at some point.

This message was typed via Forum Browser.
Thanks for your time
John.

Well, the addon doesn't have Vimeo as a dependency, so I wonder if XBMC automatically installs an addon when when you open a plugin url. If so, that's a cool feature that I didn't know XBMC had Smile

I'll wait and see if anyone else reports an issue. Since you are the only one who does, that will surely save me from having to do anything Smile

Changed. It was an easy fix. In fact the current behavior is actually a bug, because looking at the code, returning to the list is what I intended, but something I added later made it exit. The change will be in the next version.

Yeah, the changelogs have to be uploaded to the repo separately from the addon zip. Maybe I can symlink from my dev folders to my local repo copy, so they update with my repo. I don't want to make manual copies of them every time because I'm trying to keep the process simple (as in less work for me). If that doesn't work I think I have another idea.

I'm not sure if you mean searching forums or the forum repo, but I'm sure you'd like both Smile I'll get to it eventually.
Right now, the next thing I'm thinking of adding is subscription notifications from a background service (as we've talked about in the past). This is mostly because it would be the most useful thing to me.

Thanks for your reply

Also would be nice to add reputation.

Yes I was on about searching threads posts & forums

yes the service idea will be a great addition

RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - hasselhof - 2013-01-26

What ideas have you got for the way you would be alerted to a new subscription
message? Obviously not to much in your way while watching a film.
What about a little square in the top right corner which the user could colour code
which maybe flashed for a few seconds.
so they could instantly decide to interupt thier viewing to read.

Or would you use the way Xbmc chooses to show that you have enabled an addon with a brief message at top of screen ?.

What if your away for a couple of weeks holiday and you restart your Xbmc
how would you deal with a lot of subscription updates in one go?.

Just interested you may not have given it to much thought yet.
Im sure what ever you come up with will be great.

At first I will just use the XBMC notification thingy while I'm working out getting the service working and the code that handles checking the subscriptions and PMs all together.
Once that is all settled I plan to make customizable options, and I have a few ideas running around through my head. I'll be doing some experimenting to see what is possible and works well.
For instance I might have an option that when no video is playing, a dialog would pop up asking if you want to jump to the post, which would save you from having to find and browse to it.
I'm thinking I'll have to add something (some sort of dialog or such) that you can bring up in Forum Browser that lists your notifications, otherwise if, for instance, you have new posts in 5 forums plus 3 PMs, once the notification happens, you might not remember all the forums. In fact in that instance it might be best to have one notification to say you have new posts/PM's and then when you open FB you could open view the dialog I mentioned to see what they all were.

Kinda covered in my previous comment, but I'll also say that right now it's just ideas, and the shape of things will become more clear once I start working on it. I'll get a clear picture of what I can/should do. I'll try some things and get your input on what's working and all that.

As you can see I've given it some thought, but I haven't by any means been exhaustive. It's kinda my work method. I have a basic idea, but I find it easier to work out the ideas as I go. But of course, feel free to mention any thing you think of. Even if I've already had the same idea, quite often there is something slightly different in the idea or how it's expressed that I didn't think of, or that leads to more ideas.

Hi henryperu77 for the developer to have a look he will need a lot more information for example a log, the hardware your using, the version numbers of both xbmc & forum browser, and possibly a picture/description of any errors you receive.This will make it more likely for him to investigate your problem & to pinpoint it quicker.


RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - henryperu77 - 2013-01-27

I tried it out and it worked fine for me. Since you say you had problems loading threads, I assume you used www.peruhardware.net/foros as the URL when adding the forum and were actually able to view the forums list. As hasselhof said, I will need more info to figure out the issue. At least the name of the forum you are trying to view threads on and a log. I'll try the accessing a specific forum item without a log if you post it, but if I don't get any errors, I'll still need a log.

EDIT: apparently I was writing this post as you were posting yours Smile

Thanks for the info. I can see the problem. You need to type in www.peruhardware.net/foros for the URL.

It's also on the Online Database now, since I added it after I got it to work.

Holy crap, there's almost 450 forums on the online database! Eek
