Hey Everyone,
<rant>
Another one of my semi regular BITCHES about the lack of feedback.
The reason that I release this skin Mod to you lot is that it's my way of giving back to the XBMC community. I don't particularly need my Ego stroked (I'm quite comfortable with my place in the world), but it would be nice to have some feedback on bugs or features that people would like to see fixed. Thus far ,the last release of the skin has had about 600 downloads and I've had about half a dozen comments posted since then (and than includes a couple lost to the lightning strike). And to the people asking, "Yes I'm fine thank you, just a bit sore still. I'm on the mend, just slower that I would like, thus the grumpy attitude".
Now this would not really be an issue, but yesterday I again found a section of the skin that could cause XBMC to shutdown (crash). This was caused by the layout of that particular screen changing since the skin was first written, so XBMC could not write out some information that it needed to and thus crashed. No big deal (now fixed), but I can't believe that this has not been spotted by at least one person from the 600 downloads that the skin has received.
PLEASE post any bugs or missing features to this or the bug thread so I can do something about them.
Also please note that I live in Perth Western Australia (the other side of the planet from most of you), so there will just about always be a delay of at least 12 hour between a question from users and an answer from me. If you know the answer to a users question, by all means jump in with an answer it (that's the way you can give back to the community)

If required a FULL debug log can now be submitted from the skin in settings->skin settings->support. Or follow instructions
here if you can't access skin settings.

Great skin my girlfriend always did love this skin and now that you have deservedly given it the title xTV SAF she agrees and loves it more lol.
Anyways few little probs at the moment I have with it is that I need to be able to access the raw video files from the home screen via a button. I know I can do this by not linking the Movies and TV Show buttons to the library but would still like a direct way of doing it from the home menu.
The next thing is that I think it would be great if we could have media flags on all the content in the library's.
Another problem may be a bug is that the title and text on the info screen when playing a video is not shown on the bottom panel and is floating between the video itself and the bottom pane.
Cheers for this great skin

only a tiny mod. i need to go back to my list of ideas i had before, the ones that didn't make it into .90
but anyway i've found this skin pretty solid overall... most of the problems i have with xbmc (streaming video drops etc.) are not skin issues :/

we have "user script on homepage" - why not "user plugin on homepage"?

Hi, thanks for updating this skin to work properly with the newer builds and adding features; very much appreciated! I use this skin on the xbox connected to an sdtv; not many skins now support this.
Can I ask for a feature? there are watched overlays in aeon (used on my htpc connected to a hdtv) in the file mode. It puts a tick at the side of a watched item. It would be nice to have this in xtv, as it is not that practical to use library mode on my xbox.
Or is there an easy way to add this myself as a mod (of a mod hehe)?

^ that sounds like a great feature. i also don't use the library.
which reminds me.. the windows version has the very nice feature of generating thumbnails for every video. i realise this is probably excluded from the xbox branch for performance reasons.. but has anyone asked Arnova if he can do a "generate thumbnails for videos when idle" function? slightly OT sorry.
