xTV (Apple TV take 1 replica/clone) skin is in the XBMC Skinning Project's SVN

Hi, I am new to XBMC in general but already love the XTV skin. It's by far the most beautiful one I have seen so far and also very useable (esp. compared to skins like MC360). Keep up the great work even though I personally don't see much room for improvement since it's almost perfect

If you refer to scroll control, i thought i have it too. I'll download it and update. I'll tell you later if it have worked.

Hi CHI3f,

I saw your log about removing the changelog script because it uses guibuilder. I hope you didn't mis-understand what was asked of you.

It is ok, and perfectly acceptable to include any script you want. Use guibuilder, edit it or whatever you want.

I believe what Jezz_X and I meant was to not put that stuff in the main trunk. Offer it as an extras package. I see the skinning svn doesn't have a extras or some other folder for that. Maybe that could be added to the scripting svn.

I think the changelog script that you modified for your script was and is a good idea. Scripts like this I believe (I have no say in the skinning svn) Are accepatable in the main trunk.

Also, you committed a thumbs.db file in one of your last commits. I know you know that can cause conflicts, just pointing it out.

Good luck.

When you upgrade do you overwrite the skin or do you delete it and replace with the new one? I do not suggest overwriting cause it can cause some adverse effects.

And about the player time overlapping is fixed now. Good eye, I probably would not have noticed cause I don't ever use library view.

When I upload to my xbox I always switch to a different skin and and complete delete and then transfer the xtv folder.

I'll try making a whole new svn and doing an update just incase something didn't transfer properly. I'll let ya know if that fixes the wrap view issue.

Thanks again, I love the simplicity of itv and having it on my xbox is even better!

for anybody haveing trouble with the scrool bar in the wrap view, have u even checked ur skin setting in settings??

all u have to do is uncheck the box that says [use scroolbars]!!!!

anyway, do u know in PMIII when u press the white button at the home screen while listning to music it shows the visualisation in the background

well the feature is not available in xtv but it would be cool if u could make that button bring up this view:



just a thought, i think it looks deadly!!!!!

That's no a solution, there are views (for example list or files view) that need scroll bars (at least for me).

For those folks who have the scroll bar in wrap view. Try the following.

1 - create a new xtv checkout folder.
2 - do and UpdateSVN - just to make sure everything is there.
3 - switch skin to something other than xtv
4 - delete xtv folder on xbox
5 - upload new build to xbox

This worked for me and I no longer have the scroll bar in wrap view, I'm guessing when I was doing just the updatesvn something got corrupt and I needed to download from scratch.

Love the skin, one small bug I just found: I am not able to scroll the plot text (if it is too long to fit on one screen) when viewing IMDB imformation of my movies. If I switch to the actors view, I can just press "up" and scroll the actors list but this does not work with the plot.

there should be a spin control off to the lower right hand corner of the plot. just press right then A to spin it down.

Dude! Awesome skin!

One minor gripe I have is the window with View modes and Library toggle when I press left while on the left side in a window. I can handle it, but my technofobic friends tend to panic, because they think they broke something.

Is there any way of changing this behaviour?

Also, I was wondering if I can get my lists (in listview) to appear more to the left. I display music as %N %A - %T (number, artist, title), and with the current list-width and position, I almost always just see the artist and have to wait for the line to scroll to read the songtitle as well.

I like this skin a lot, thinking of making it my new standard, as the fonts in Clearity and the new PDM look weird and small on my tv. I also like the simple look, it's sleek and highly efficient.

Keep it up!
