[User 49598]

I updated to the 12/11/2009 Mediafire version

XBMC crashes when I try to change wiewtype (both movies and tvshows). Once this happens, just every time I enter the movies/tvshows section XBMC crashes again = unusable.

Only way is to start over with a fresh guisettings.xml
... but only till I change viewtype again.

Latest alaska from git and XBMC

[moontan77]

Anyone using an acer revo with the alaska skin? If so, is the rss feed very jerky (seems like its about to stop at some stages especially on the home screen)?

Im using the latest alaska from github and xbmc 9.11 beta1

Ths skin itself just doesnt seem fluid but on my asrock ion its fine. Both are dual core and running at 1.6ghz with 512mb towards video.

2. In the program plugin, when some list item name scrolling, it seems show as two label contain the same text. one labe at the bottom is stillness, and the other one on the top scrolling.

I find the problem come from Viewtype_Files.xml

line 208-218:

Code:

                <control type="label">
                    <posx>690</posx>
                    <posy>0</posy>
                    <width>720</width>
                    <height>120</height>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <font>Font_ListTitleBigger</font>
                    <textcolor>ListTitleF</textcolor>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
                    <visible>Container.Content(files) | [IsEmpty(ListItem.Title) + !Container.Content(artists) + !Container.Content(albums) + !Container.Content(songs)]</visible>
                </control>

line 296-319:

Code:

                <!-- Programs -->
                <control type="group">
                    <visible>Window.IsActive(1)</visible>
                    <control type="label">
                        <posx>690</posx>
                        <posy>0</posy>
                        <width>720</width>
                        <height>120</height>
                        <aligny>center</aligny>
                        <font>Font_ListTitleBigger</font>
                        <textcolor>ListTitleF</textcolor>
                        <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
                        <animation effect="slide" start="0,-15" end="0,-15" time="0" condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.Label2)">Conditional</animation>
                    </control>
                    <control type="label">
                        <posx>690</posx>
                        <posy>75</posy>
                        <width>720</width>
                        <height>25</height>
                        <font>Font_ListTitleBig</font>
                        <textcolor>ListTitleF</textcolor>
                        <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label2]</label>
                    </control>
                </control>

that labels visiable at the same time. the first one will scroll, the second one don't scroll.

I try to modify line 217 to:

Code:

                    <visible>Container.Content(files) | [IsEmpty(ListItem.Title) + !Container.Content(artists) + !Container.Content(albums) + !Container.Content(songs)[color=red] + !Window.IsActive(1)[/color]]</visible>

Now, they are not visiable at the same time, but can't scroll

Cheers, I didn't look into this because I'm going to update the Files view at some time anyway.

It's not jerky on my revo.

Hitcher,

I think there is a bug with the DialogNumeric.xml file that keeps the numeric login screen from popping up when needed.

here is the pertinent lines from my debug log.

Code:

16:47:17 T:2396 M:2429198336   ERROR: unable to load:special://xbmc/skin/Alaska/720p/DialogNumeric.xml, Line 29
                                            Error reading end tag.

And here is the code from the beginning of the xml file up to line 29.

Code:

<!--Empty-->

<window id="109">
    <defaultcontrol always="true">14</defaultcontrol>

    <coordinates>
        <system>1</system>
        <posx>360</posx>
        <posy>120</posy>
    </coordinates>

    <controls>

        <control type="image" id="0">
            <description>Back Panel</description>
            <posx>-30</posx>
            <posy>-30</posy>
            <width>620</width>
            <height>500</height>
            <texture>favourites/favourites_panel.png</texture>
            <colordiffuse>FavListPanel</colordiffuse>
        </control>

            <control type="label">
                <include>DialogID</include>
                <label>DialogNumeric.xml</label>
                <visible>Skin.HasSetting(debugmode)</visible>
            </control>
        </control>

If I change the above to this, the login pad will work and no more debug error message.

Code:

<!--Empty-->

<window id="109">
    <defaultcontrol always="true">14</defaultcontrol>

    <coordinates>
        <system>1</system>
        <posx>360</posx>
        <posy>120</posy>
    </coordinates>

    <controls>


[b]        <control type="group">[/b]
            <control type="image" id="0">
                <description>Back Panel</description>
                <posx>-30</posx>
                <posy>-30</posy>
                <width>620</width>
                <height>500</height>
                <texture>favourites/favourites_panel.png</texture>
                <colordiffuse>FavListPanel</colordiffuse>
            </control>

            <control type="label">
                <include>DialogID</include>
                <label>DialogNumeric.xml</label>
                <visible>Skin.HasSetting(debugmode)</visible>
            </control>
        </control>

I'm not sure if that is the correct way to fix it but, as I said, the login works afterward. Can you maybe take a look at the DialogNumeric.xml file?

Thanks.

[Hitcher]

As you can see from the first line this hasn't had the Alaska work-over but thanks for the quick fix.

i found a bug (under linux, at least), as when playing a movie/audio file the overlay to the home menu is all merged in one single line, as the [noparse][CR][/noparse] in the code would not be parsed... it depends on the : in the xml files, at line 47 of VideoOverlay.xml and at line 55 and 70 of MusicOverlay.xml
it's enough to make the lines in MusicOverlay.xml like this

Code:

[noparse]<label>$LOCALIZE[31004][CR][b][color=NowPlayingTrack]$INFO[MusicPlayer.Title][/color][/b][CR][b]$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist][/b][CR][color=NowPlayingAlbum]$INFO[MusicPlayer.Album][/color]</label>[/noparse]

and

Code:

[noparse]<label>$LOCALIZE[31004][CR][b][color=NowPlayingTrack]$INFO[MusicPlayer.Title][/color][/b][CR][b]$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist][/b][CR][color=NowPlayingAlbum]$INFO[MusicPlayer.Album][/color]</label>[/noparse]

and the line in VideoOverlay.xml like

Code:

[noparse]<label>$LOCALIZE[31004][CR][b][color=NowPlayingTrack]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title][/color][/b][CR][color=NowPlayingAlbum]$INFO[VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle][/color]</label>[/noparse]

and it's all gone
btw, if we like the : in now playing it's enough to make string 31004 NOW PLAYING: in our strings.xml and that's all

Don't remove font13 in font.xml. this is the default font xbmc used. xbmc may crash when font13 not define.

[sinarquia]

I gave the skin another try today, after I saw the messages regarding DialogNumeric.xml. Now the numeric panel appears, and I can enter the numbers, but cannot navigate to the Done button, or the arrows.

Xbmc 9.11 beta2, Linux.

Thanks.
