Just load the skin and as long as XBMC detects the output is 21:9 it'll load the relevant skin code.

ok?!? but how does xbmc detect it?
i have a 21:9 philips cinema gold tv but xbmc doesn´t seem to detect it...
is there a way to force xbmc to output 21:9?

I don't as I developed it using a windowed XBMC running at 1706x720.

The addon.xml uses -

Code:
<res width="2560" height="1080" aspect="21:9" folder="21x9" />

What are your TVs resolutions?

the tv can take every resolution up to 1920:1080...

Shouldn't it be 2560x1080 because 1920x1080 is 16:9?

i know that 1920x1080 is 16:9 but this is how it works,it cuts off the blackbars and then zoom to fullscreen

So what resolution does it run at when in playing 21:9 content and what is XBMC set to display?
Reply

the native resolution of the display is 2560x1080 but as inputsignal it only takes 1920x1080 and that is what xbmc is set to...
so i think the resolution shouldn´t be 2560x1080, it must be 1920x823 or something like a cinemascope movie on bluray

If XBMC is outputting at 16:9 there's nothing I can do but you could try forcing it to use the 21:9 XML folder by changing the addon.xml.

PHP Code:
<res width="1920" height="1080" aspect="16:9" default="true" folder="16x9" /> 

to

PHP Code:
<res width="1920" height="1080" aspect="16:9" default="true" folder="21x9" />

Hmm, 'public beta', does it mean code base is now stable and there will be only bugfixing without any big changes? I'm considering right time when to start modding.
Btw only supported addons will be these mentioned in first post? So no Global search for example?

It's not really a skin problem I suggest asking in a different section as the only way you're going to get the skin to use the 21x9 XML folder is to get your HTPC/XBMC to output at 21:9.

Can you add this viewtype in exchange for $20 in donations? :-)

I've set up a new repository -

Can you please add the TV logo view from Alaska Revisited? Thank you.


Think Hitcher has already answered that one! Wink

You could have a crack at creating a mod for it?

By the way... my Dark Knight avatar beats your Bane! Wink
