So you want to install custom views as displayed in this screen :



So, first, you have to install views from :

System > Views

or

System > Skin > Views Activate / Desactivate > Add new view

Then you restart XBMC.

Go back to System > Skin > Views Activate / Desactivate and click to activate custom views installed before.

After that, you can go to Movies and switch to custom views.

Good Morning, you're a Master, I've followed your instructions and everything is OK, except for: The APTV crashes or stop of working I think is not a stable version, and I can't install the Music Label Cases, , I've donwloaded the CDart Manager, repetead the process with the views/enable etc, but nothing.
Anyway thank you so much for your help, if you can help me with this request? so many thanks.we're 20% behind toachieve our goal.
Best Regards
Santiago

Maybe that APTV is not powerfull enough to run Glass :S

Glass use a lot of scripts to get latest episodes, movies, albums, ...

Are you talking about Glass Album cases ?

So you have downloaded and installed it but when you browse your music and go to albums, this view is not available ?

When you browse your albums with standard views (Media Info for example), your covers are displayed ?

CDart Manager let you download cover, fanart and CDart.

To get CD art displayed on Glass Album cases view, your have to set your root folder in :
left slide menu > Options > Your root music folder

On my NAS, my music is stored this way :

\\NAS\Music\Artist1\Album1
\\NAS\Music\Artist1\Album2
\\NAS\Music\Artist1\Album3
\\NAS\Music\Artist1\Album4
\\NAS\Music\Artist2\Album1
\\NAS\Music\Artist2\Album2
\\NAS\Music\Artist2\Album3
\\NAS\Music\Artist2\Album4

So my root music folder is \\NAS\Music.

Post screenshots if you didn't succeed in installing this view.

Sarajac, same problem after installing Album case view on my HTPC.

We will have a closer look as fast as possible

[mikebzh44]

Finally, Album case custom view work fine on my HTPC.

But we have discovered an issue that can hardly be fixed.

If you use horizontal menu, by pressing down arrow, you switch to sub-menu and then to system menu to close XBMC and so on.

But, if you are on Music menu, by pressing down arrow, you don't switch to sub-menu but you go up to widgets. And then, you will never be able to go down to system menu, even if your are not on Music menu item

You have to restart XBMC.

Fmronan did not have time to correct it as he's working on GlassNox (a mod form Aeon Nox for XBMC 12.0 Forod) and he have to rewrite a lot of code to fix the problem, so we have to deal with it :S

[mikebzh44]

Custom view "medium resolution case" is available through View installer :



Cases can open automatically and moviesets can have case or not.

But cases cannot be opened manually

Hey there I have been meaning to sign up to give you a pat on the back for the great work you have done on this skin.

But i have a problem now

WTF is this thing, and how can i get rid of it so it never comes back? I was playing around with the settings trying to get RSS to work (ended up disabling that too), and then this stupid thing popped up



and now I cant use xbmc anymore. it has totally ruined it for me.

please help?

EDIT: By cant use xbmc anymore, i mean, it hijacks the focus and whenever i am trying go up and down through the menus i end up scrolling throuhg stupid mine craft videos

[mikebzh44]

Sorry but I'm can't help this week-end. My only internet access is through my mobile

I will have a look monday morning.

[mikebzh44]

Did you problem occur only when you are listen music ? I mean, if you start XBMC, you can do whatever you want but if you start playing music, the youtube widget is displayed and keep focus.
