Hey guys,

for those who do not check the github commits, here are some new things from the upcoming release 1.0.8:

1)
Of course bug fixes...but that is not so important...

2)
I prepared on option the install new views that can be downloaded just like you install and addon via zip (thanks to fmronan and mike from passion xbmc)



3)
Support for mike's lastandrandom items script, so that you will have also recently added for smartplaylists
with this comes a new home button for documentaries that should nearly work out of the box for you...



4)
You will have quick access to system and MOD settings from the shutdown menu...

So far so good...let's wait until the next version is coming...

I think on one ATV I have installed a long time ago the previous releases and I had an option to enable TV Tunes playback.
I installed on another ATV the latest one you have and this feature is missing.
Is still working on the old one but is missing from the skin setting and I can’t enable it on the latest release.
Can you add it back please?

Thank you for a great skin.

Can't reproduce this on Windows...is this iOS specific?

I did not have the Favorites issue when running on windows either, so it is likely that it's only an iOS issue. Does anyone have any ideas for things to try? I tried modifying animation timing thinking it might be a timing issue, but that didn't seem to do it. I would love to use this Mod if this issue is fixed. Anyone have any ideas for things to try?

@rugbymad:
You might enter a new toggle-button in the skin settings(custom_ModSettings1114.xml) at line 816:

Code:

                    <control type="radiobutton" id="402">
                        <width>750</width>
                        <height>40</height>
                        <font>font13</font>
                        <label>Kids-Profile</label>
                        <textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
                        <focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
                        <texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>
                        <texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>
                        <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(kidsprofile)</onclick>
                        <selected>Skin.HasSetting(kidsprofile)</selected>
                    </control>

In your son's profile activate this setting in your's not...
Then hack the visible condition in your button in home.xml

The button for your profile should then have a

Code:

<visible>Skin.HasSetting(kidsprofile)</visible>

and the one from your son should have

Code:

<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(kidsprofile)</visible>

Then it should be ok...

Hope this helps you guys...

cheers,

Hi Max,

I'm having a bit of trouble with this button issue, I have installed the code at line 816 as suggested, but for the rest of it i dont know what you mean. Is their a idiots guide for me, lol. Danke

[proiettile]

If someone is interested, i've changed the MusicVisualisation.xml and the Font.xml to have the full screen playback in music like this:



I've added the header.png below "party mode" text, added the weather/date bar, removed the "playing" text, changed the way Artist, Album and Title are displayed in MusicVisualisation.xml and added a font type in Font.xml.

@catmanx:
Might be a bug that it is not visible...will take care of it...

@pezcore:
It might be an iOS and not a skin error...can you post a log to pastebin?

@protocol:
You can C&P this into the original ViewVideoShowcase.xml and save it...ready to go...

@rugbymad:
Will send you a detailed instruction via PM later on...currently online with my HTC, so coding is a bit difficult...

@proiettile:
Looks good from the screenshot...might be worth a toggle setting...
Saw your PR on github...will merge your changes later on...thanks for your collaboration...AWESOME!

Is it possible to hide latest albums but retain latest moves and tv shows?
Also for Concerts how do I add files to it? It is blank no option to map a folder to it.

Im really liking the mods of this skin, thanks for taking the time to make it and share.

Question - is there any way to remove the posters from the rightlist view? Or alternatively make the size of the posters smaller?

I love having the rightlist view, but for the TV shows, the size of the poster takes up almost 1/3 of the real estate, hiding the fanart in the background, and having an option to either disable the poster, or alternatively being able to make the size of the poster smaller

Thanks in advance!

Version 1.0.8 available...

Changlog:

Code:

- added toggle option to hide info in view 509 (albums info)
- added links to "system" and "MOD-settings" to the shutdown menu
- added toggle option to make menu bar in home transparent
- added toggle option to choose between clearart and logo
- added support for "Recently Added" on SmartPlaylists (thanks mike (passion xbmc))
- added Documentaries as own category based on mike's "lastandrandomitems"-script
- re-added toggle option for TVTunes (instead of always enabled)
- re-added the "CommonPageCount" and "CommonNowPlaying"
- fixed position of date and time in home
- fixed case sensitive issues (thanks proiettile)
- fixed overlapping xbmc logo with lower menu
- fixed alignment in ViewVideoLandscape.xml
- fixed "Neon-Showcase" (got lost after GIT merge error)
- fixed display issue with fade in/out of CDArt (thanks proietille)
- redid the whole season fanart stuff to work properly and view-independent

The custom view installer needs some more tweaking and some more hours of coding to have some viewtypes ready...so this will come in 1.0.9...

If I missed something, just tell me...I'm just a human being ;-)

Have FUN!

Currently there is all or nothing...
You can delete the control for albums in "IncludesRecentlyAdded.xml"...

Question - is there any way to remove the posters from the rightlist view? Or alternatively make the size of the posters smaller?

You have to delete the control manually...
You'll find it in ViewsVideoRightList.xml...
Line 432:

Code:

                    <control type="image">
                        <posx>0</posx>
                        <posy>30</posy>
                        <width>300</width>
                        <height>400</height>
                        <aspectratio aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
                        <fadetime>IconCrossfadeTime</fadetime>
                        <texture background="true" diffuse="movie_mask.png">$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</texture>
                    </control

Thank you very much for adding this option.
I would like to request more......sorry...
For people that use a full remote like Plex Media Center, can you add an option to enable a number key to play trailer? (Just simple press Key "3") instead of press down.
In the view where you use showcase that I am able to play trailer (plus can you bring the trailer to the front? now is playing in the back of the thums), after playing trailer the skin is losing focus on the thumb and I have to get out of the movies and get back in. Sorry, one more thing...can you add infos too in the showcase?

Can you start the skin with the focus on "Videos" instead of "Music"

Sorry for being to demanding...I luv this skin is doing exactly what I need.

No problem, a beer is always welcome

This is not possible as the Statements in the skining engine gives me commands like <onup> or <ondown>...
Will see if there is a <onbutton3pressed>, but I don't think so...

Damn, I knew I missed something for the update...will take care of it...

Can you elaborate? I don't know what info you mean?

Already possible...check MOD-settings for custom startup focus...

cheers,
