Should have told him to read all 69 pages and then ask again. Wink

Going back a few pages. What is the issue with end product skin size? Why may I ask is everybody going nuts if it is over 300MB+? I Don't see it as an issue unless you are worry about bandwidth on the repo going over budget! I Don't mind downloading 1GB for a good looking product. And I am sure not many else will. Lets face it. It's only 1 torrented (don't tell me you don't do it) movies worth when you think about it.

As you said, getting it in the official repo is the issue. I don't think most people would have an issue downloading a large file (except Canadians, apparently) but the exposure and "officiall-ness" (feel free to use that word, I made it up and its licensed open source) are very attractive ways to get exposure for the skin.

Otherwise, if the size keeps us out (my guess is a bandwidth issue for the xbmc mirror) then we would have to look at an unofficial repo (passion-xbmc comes to mind) or just releasing it as a straight download.

But, as ronie pointed out, we are quite a ways from release and plenty to happen between here and there.

What about finishing the movie/tv/actor/director parts, and releasing that first, then doing music and pictures later?

/sneaky attempt by a video-only user to get the skin sooner...

- ppic - 2011-02-23 17:53

nice try, but i think you can keep the line Wink

Nice try

but there are lots of parts that still aren't finished in the video section.

Besides, I know everyone has been waiting on this view to be finished... Wink

AND... we are packing SO much good stuff into the music section, maybe we will get a convert Wink

Finished, art to ronie.

There is a script somewhere that downloads banners, right? I don't have any to test out and really don't like the idea of going and manually getting them for all 300 some odd of my shows.

As far as I am concerned, when it comes to wondering if an addon exists, I like to use the phrase, "PPIC has a script for that" Smile
