WIP Retroplex for XBMC
#1
Hello,

I began working on porting the skin Retroplex on XBMC. Here's a couples of images and below you have the info to download the svn working copy (will be on WIP skin repo when it's slightly more finished).

Big thanks to the original Plex skin creator "se.bastian".

Awesome, I always wanted someone to port this over to xbmc. However, I have a problem downloading the skin. Some of the studio flags can't be found and because of that the download enters some kinda loop so that I can't get the whole skin. Any solution for that?

The the git repo : https://github.com/Balinus/retro-xbmc-skin and click on "ZIP" icon. Should work.

It's up-to-date also. I'm still unsure between svn and git.

Indeed, took that version as a base. Recently added items were already coded! Smile

This is very nice. Unique and stylish... except the weather screen.

Great work Balinus.

Cheers

Thanks! Merely porting what is already there.

Indeed, I'm not a fan of the weather screen. I'll probably change that!

I've signed up for these forums just to say thank you. I've been coveting this skin for a long time, and it's great to finally get to use it with xbmc. Thank you!

(Also, a bug for you to squash: If I exit a list of episodes and open up a new show, the episode image carries over to the new show.)

Thanks!

I can reproduce the bug. I'll look into it. The cover is shown on the ".." item right?

EDIT - ok, it's fixed in latest git commit.

Awesome, thanks, that fixed it.

I feel like there's an incredibly obvious answer to this, but... is there a setting you can change from within the skin to access music or pictures from the home menu?

nice looking skin... Will definitely give this beaty a try when i get an evening on my own, where the TV is not being used by my wife Big Grin

Quick question, does it support PVR? if not, will it in the future?

Sure, look in skin's options.

I don't plan to add PVR support, sorry. I don't use the skin, mostly adding the remaining missing dialogs and fixing bugs.

Not sure I'll have time to complete the skin. There is only a handful of xml files to add, so if anyone wants to learn, I could help them complete the skin.
