Moved userdata out of the way to let it create a new one and sure enough the default skin was touched, i.e. <skin>skin.touched</skin>.

Both files had a bunch of other references to the skin listed as the default, so if you edit the <skin></skin> tag then you'll probably need to update the other references too. My guisettings.xml had 58 lines mentioning skin.confluence.

thx for that check ... that points directly to the problem ... we'll investigate...

hey y'all,

I'm new to this, did a clean jailbreak and latest xbmc nightly install on my atv2 - everything is working just fine, except that i'm also stuck with the touch gui. tried editing the guisettings.xml, but everytime i then start xbmc on my atv2, it reverts back to the original guisettings.xml with the "touched" entry, no matter how much i changed it to "confluence"....

what am i doing wrong? any help is greatly appreciated :-)

I had the exact same issue. Editing guisettings.xml didn't fix for me either. I even deleted the XBMC folder completely and installed the Sep 26 build; same issue kept happening.

I finally had to do a complete XBMC uninstall, including XBMC.frappliance, and that finally fixed the problem.

That's odd, maybe you edited guisettings.xml with XBMC running? That's likely to cause problems... try exiting XBMC and editing the file again.

Or maybe you only edited the one skin.touched reference? Make sure there's no other ones lingering in guisettings.xml, easiest to replace them all with skin.confluence.

Hi,

this might be unrelated, but did anyone notice that the option to add video sources is missing when Choosing "Videos -> Files"?

This used to be here in previous versions. Not sure if I am missing something here or the option is just missing due to some error?

Thanks for any tips on this!

This is already in the internal discussion. Its not there when no sources are added yet. Click on Videos directly for adding sources for now. When discussion is finished something will be done there i think...

Out of curiosity how did you fix the navigation issue as I did a new install on an ATV and used the OCT 4 build but can not navigate using the remote?

Thanks

The issue is you have "touched.skin" as the default and you want "confluence.skin". There's basically 2 options:

1. edit guisettings.xml in the userdata folder and change all instances of touched.skin to confluence.skin, there could be dozens of them

2. if you haven't customized your settings much, I'd exit XBMC, delete the userdata dir, install the latest nightly, and launch XBMC so it'll recreate the userdata dir and the guisettings.xml file with confluence.skin as the default
