Just wanted to add that I installed the repository app & went over to passion to get latest SVN of Neon, but it is listed as broken =(

Are you running a nightly xbmc build or 10.1? If you are using the svn version of the skin it requires a nightly...

Don't know then. Grab it from git - github.com/Stoli. (I think that's right)

I don't know why, but it has been listed as broken in the passion repository for a while now, even though you can manually download it from passion and install it with no problem.

While it is great that the skin works, it is a pain to have to manually download it when I would like to update the skin.

Do you think PM'ing ppic (I think he is the admin of passion) would help resolve the issue?

maybe? I'm not sure what flags it as 'broken'. On my win7 and atv2 it just updates normally, not indication of 'broken'.

I read the first page of this topic & followed Stoli & XBMC's instructions on Passion Repo.

I'm using Windows XP. I got a nightly build last night & installed Passion on it. 'Neon' skin was not listed as "Broken" for me. I have it installed right now without any trouble.

P.S. - If I could piggy-back on this topic & ask a related question: Is there a way to automatically update the XBMC nightly build itself?

Hmm, well I sent a PM to PPIC, so hopefully he can shed some light.

In the meantime, I deleted the passion repo, deleted the neon svn skin, restarted and turned on debugging. I then reinstalled the repo and attempted to install the skin to no avail. I then downloaded the skin from the passion website and tried to install it via 'install from zip' within xbmc to no avail.

When I checked the debug log for the second install attempt I get an error as follows:

It looks like the skin is reporting that it doesn't have the latest gui version. Is there something that I can do to fix this?

::EDIT:: Here is the full log for reference:

just for giggles, open up the addon.xml in the skin.confluence folder and see what gui version it is expecting... Should also be 3.0
