Announcing a new mod of xTV - xTV SAF
Aim:
xTV-SAF is a AppleTV inspired skin for XBMC. It provides a very light weight minimalist gui while also allowing access to a number of advanced XBMC features not available in the original AppleTV interface. All this in a simple, Spouse Acceptable form (Factor).
Skin now available thru the XBMC Eden repo(1.2.2) ,XBMC Frodo repo (1.3.5) and XBMC Gotham repo (1.4.5) , skin wiki page is located here.
Download links
Google Code - xTV-SAF v1.2.0 XBox (Xbox only version of the skin). Development for the xbox has been taken over by aadc over at the Xbox XBMC forum ,please direct support questions for the XBox skin there.
To install on xbmc4xbox, unzip the contents of the zip file into the skin directory.
Development version of skin is available on the Passion Repo (Frodo and on only). See this post by ppic (thank you for adding the skin to the repo) for details on how to add the repo to your repo list. Once you have the repo installed on your system, navigate to the passion repo and then navigate to skin addons thru the settings/addons menu. Skin is listed as xTV-SAF (SVN). Hint this is the very latest version of the skin (skin updated each night at 2am French time), so there may be a few bugs but generally pretty stable.
Old Builds
Old builds that may be of use if you are running a very old copy of XBMC
