correct, although i'm not sure why the xbox is omitting the 'long' and 'short' strings.

edit: could you check some of the other Skin Settings pages, like Skin Settings > Icons
is everything displayed correctly there?

edit2: i assume the both of you did read the entire first post
and especially this part: you'll need a svn build (r21919 or up) of xbmc!

i bet that's your problem ;-p

edit3: and since the xbox branch is lagging behind a bit, make that r22038 for xbox users.

Hey ronie, wie geht das mit der Games Library wie in dem Screenshot? So wie ich das sehe ist das keine regulaere X-Box Game Library, da es Spiele ala Mirrors Edge, Metal Gear Solid etc gar nicht auf der guten alten Box gibt ^^
Waer schon cool wenn ich wenigstens einfache Eintraege reinmachen koennte, ohne das Spiel starten zu koennen/muessen whatever... Einfach meine kleine persoenliche Library erstellen

true, since i'm not a gamer, i just used some random game names....i never thought anyone would notice :-)
i can't tell you how to launch games, but if you want it to look like in the screenshot, here's what to do: put a fanart.jpg and a folder.jpg in the folder of every game....that's it.

there's also a FAQ entry (#13) on how to link the Game menu button on the homescreen to your games folder.

Ah okay, thanks a bunch mate

Did you use a plugin like Launcher or just the regular XBMC Setup??

EDIT: Ah found it out already Thanks again, this is kinda cool, even considering u cant launch any games

lol, don't ask me, i'm the biggest game n00b on this forum.
i'd say you can run games on an xbox....

Launcher plugin is pretty cool, i use it to launch firefox from within xbmc.
whether or not you can use it to run games or launch emulators, i wouldn't be able to answer. :-)

Simply top! Many thanks for this release, blood, sweat and tears.

Thanks for all the hard work on the new release, looks great!

Ronie just wanted to say thanks again for all your hard work on this awesome skin. It's simply fantastic, can't wait to try out the new version.
Cheers

Noticed my XBOX is doing the same thing. Im on 22485 of the nightly builds.

Other thing I noticed is that I cant play trailers. I did a refresh of my movie to see if that would enable it but in fanart view, I cant play the trailer. But if I go back into movie information and select trailer, it plays fine...not sure if you were aware of this or not.

Thanks, seems like i missed that topic. Should be a very useful option though

BTW: i wanna report that changing the backdrop for "Video Plugins" is working the way it should in v2.00, thanks for fixing!
