tungmeister Wrote:another issue I've noticed is that once media has finished playing, be it film or TV, the fan art will disappear and not reappear until l the view is reloaded, I checked through a few other skins and this issue appears to be reFocus dependant.
I have not been able to reproduce this using 0.8.8 or my dev version on Dharma Beta 1.

I'm running reFocus 0.8.8, Ubuntu 9.10, XBMC Live Dharma Beta 1.
Selecting an episode of a show I was previously watching, the menu pops-up asking if I want to resume from where I was when I stopped. I select that, the video starts playing, and the popup menu stays on top of the video. In about 3 seconds, XBMC crashes and restarts itself.
Would you mind posting a debug/crash log in the general support forum section? I have not seen this behavior on Dharna Beta 1 but I am running on Windows 7 so I'm guessing it's XBMC Live or ubuntu specific.

One request that I have would be the ability to change the time between transitions on the fanart slideshow on the homescreen. The current timing is a little too quick for my own personal preference. Being able to edit this in the skin settings would be sweet.
Thanks for your awesome work
I'm not keen on making a skin setting for this.
Firstly because there is no good way to go about this at the moment. Ideally you would want to have a spin control for this so that the user can set this value exactly to his liking (up to the millisecond basically).
However. the skinning engine currently does not provide a way for the skinner to use spincontrols for skin settings. This would mean that I would basically have to make three (or so) skin settings and give them values like for instance "short", "medium" and "long" where all three would represent fixed amounts of time. Which would give no guarantee that one of those would fit your preference completely. Plus it would take a relatively large amount of code for something that is really trivial to change manually in the xml.
And secondly, I just can't provide skin settings for everything.
One idea I have had in mind is to move certain settings and configs to a separate simple xml file which would consist of just one-line variables with documentation and would be very easy to edit.
The skin settings would still be in the GUI, but some of the more "obscure" preferences would be editable in that simple file.
Like an advancedsettings.xml, but for the skin. That is post 1.0 though.
