Transparency! v4.0.5 for XBMC Eden 11.0

it's most likely caused by this bug in xbmc: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12279

but without a debug log i can't tell for sure.

Hi Ronie -

Just updated my AppleTV2 to Eden Beta-1, and was pleased to see T! as an available Addon.

I installed it immediately (of course), but now after switching to T!, I've found that that when the Shutdown Menu is invoked, XBMC hangs/freezes, and ultimately crashes (you end up in the ATV2 interface). This happens immediately after pressing 'Select' after the shutdown icon has done it's nice little animation. You don't even begin to see the Shutdown Menu bar of icons appear ...

I'd be happy to provide you with a crash log, except I did not have the log running at a 'debug' level, and in my infinite wisdom I had removed the 'Settings' option from the Main Menu (thinking I could always access Settings from the Shutdown Menu).

Now I'm wondering how I can (hopefully) manually edit an .XML file somewhere to restore the Settings option to the Main Menu. Where are T!'s Skin Settings stored (what directory/filename)?

If I can restore the Settings option, I will be able to set the debug-level log option (and also be able to switch back to Confluence, temporarily, at least).

Thanks!

no need to edit the skin, you can instead edit guisettings.xml in your userdata directory.

make sure you change this setting to 'false'.

make sure you change this setting to 'false'.

Code:

<setting type="bool" name="skin.transparency.Hide_Shutdown_Settings">false</setting>

FYI, this was the setting which restored the Settings option to the Main Menu:


I think the setting you specified above was related to whether the Settings option showed up on the Shutdown Menu.

I'll see what I can do about getting you a crashlog now ...

ah, you're right.
glad you've figured it out though.

Has this been removed, I've updated to Edan but am not seeing it, even when I delete the skin directory in user appdata

An uninstall and reinstall of XBMC Eden did the trick

I'm getting the same - but only if debug logging is switched off!
I guess full logging slows things down long enough for the script to initialize properly.

With logging disabled I get

Where is that? I looked in program files/xbmc/userdata, and in app data/roaming/xbmc/userdata. I couldn't find the addon.db file.
