Night 2.0 - Eden Development

I'm very disappointed to see I can't use this skin with XBMC Eden. Night is one of the best skins out there!

Why is there an "eden development" thread, if this skin hasn't been updated for over a year?

There is nothing stopping anyone from updating it, it's just that no one has stepped up to do so.

Install it, post what doesn't work and I am sure you will get assistance in getting it Eden compatible.

From what I understand mcborzu is working on an entirely new skin and this has been moved to the back burner for now.

Regards,

I've got a few bugs:

• The volume graphic no longer works, shows 100% no matter if it's turned up or down.
• When I launch the PseudoTV script from the home screen then stop it, I can't navigate, have to hit a shortcut button on my remote to do anything (not sure which is responsible)
• No support for movie set management.
  

I actually came here to post a thread asking why I can't find the Night skin in Edens 11 Add-On browser and now I guess this answers my question.

However, the skin is perfect for my setup so I'm willing to downgrade XBMC to accommodate it. Can anyone tell me what's the absolute highest version of XBMC to still support the Night skin?

Also, I need the version that has a port for the Xbox version of XMBC as well since that's where I'll end up using this skin the most. Just using PC to test setups right now.

Thanks!

Any idea what that may be? Night is fav skin as well.

OK, I've corrected the first 2 bugs you've listed. As for movie set management, I don't use that, so I'd need more info before I do anything about that. I'll upload Night 2.0.0 on my repo today, so look for it in the next few hours.

I've also corrected the bug related to the use of Logo Panel, listed here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1065223

edit - Ok, Night for Eden is uploaded in my repo (see sig). Here's the thread if you want to list bugs, etc...

Everywhere I look everyone is saying that the skins are available in the repo. Try as I may, I can't see them. I'm on stock EDEN install in Windows7. Am I missing out on something here? Is the repo not the one that comes pre configured with XBMC? Am I supposed to add a different one?

If you're talking about my repo, it's not the same as the default XBMC.org repo. Look at my sig and install the repo file (http://xbmc-repo-balinus.googlecode.com/...inus.zip).

For installation... go in XBMC, then settings, then "Add-on". Click on install from zip file and locate the downloaded zip file. Then, "Get add-ons", then "Balinus repository", "Skin" etc..

Why, yes! Yes, that was the issue. Now I finally see what I've been doing wrong all this time. Thanks for the tip.

I LOVE this skin but found an issue. I couldn't play files that had commas in the path. The following solution was suggested

Hope it makes more sense to you than it does to me...for now

So I found how to fix it if you dont want to wait for the master version to be fixed

Edit the following lines in the following files....in each case, change to

C:\Users\_your_username_\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.night.eden.svn\720p\Di​alogVideoInfo.xml
Line 741

C:\Users\_your_username_\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.night.eden.svn\720p\Vi​ewtype_Slide.xml
Line 110
(and Line 109 if it is likely trailers have commas in them)

C:\Users\_your_username_\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.night.eden.svn\720p\In​cludes.xml
MANY lines (search for "PlayMedia" without the quotes) though as I dont use those functions I havent bothered to change them

Hope this helps anyone who got stuck as I did
