It's not life threatening. I'll just wait for a better version of ALASKA.

Good luck with this, Hitcher. This could be the greatest skin ever made

Thanks Hitcher!

Maybe we should set up something on github or something so people can test and add fixes?

Sorry it's already here: http://github.com/Hitcher/Alaska/tree/master

Something else. I really hope that the first attempt is to finish the skin like djh intended to make. So let's try to keep the icons, interface the same. Once the skin is finished there's room for further improvements.

Is there any way I can browse for my video files in File mode (not library) until the MyVideo.xml is done?

I can access all my Library movies now, but I would like to browse and play video files too.

If you bothered to read post one then you would have seen the github link and you would know that it was Hitchers intention to continue creating the skin as djh intended Rolleyes

I'm more impressed than i thought i was going to be tbh it would have been a sin to let this fall to the waste side, Hitcher i have great faith you will do this justice. Smile

Very quick hackjob for those who want access to Settings. Uncommented & unformatted code, and some average looking button controls, but it's better than nothing ATM.

After downloading place files in folders indicated. Please let me know if it works for you (but also understand it's not by any means a final commit).

Mediafire: Alaska with Settings Menus

Edit: I know I should probably put this up on github or something, but I should be asleep so I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

How do I create my own viewtype...right now the landscape thumbs look great, or will when completly finished, but this obviously ruins the view for movie posters.

Don't judge the pic and the positioning of the focused thumb, I'm 80% done just thought I'd ask my question now so when I finish the view is good to go....

I've merged 'Empty' with this now so it's completely functional, if it little sparse.

Does that mean that the "Videos" view work?

Could you upload it here or on github...

I tried to add a MyVideo.xml myself but that didn't go too well Confused

I can see the list browser but can't move up or down... hehe
