P.S. Can I test an unfinished build?
WinGmaN Wrote:Yes we are aiming for a 1:1 replica (some areas are quite hard to do as xbmc doesnt provide the features to do it easily in the skinning engine)
pecinko Wrote:Hope that you are making progress and that we'll see alpha soon.We are making good progress, only a few issues, not all animations are possible with xbmc.
I don't know how complicated it would be, but if you could make it native 1080 it would be nice.

I would love to test the skin too. This is especially welcome, surrounding the hype of the Broadcom crystal HD developments - I would like to have XBMC look as much like the native AppleTV interface as possible.
I can host the skin files for you, if you need somewhere to put the downloads.

Nemesis7 Wrote:The coverflow animation doesn't seem too complicated. It's the regular iTunes cover flow, but it has a wider 'base' and starts with two empty placeholders to the left. The problem might me when changing media that a new coverflow window flies in.thats not right, at the moment the coverflow animation is not possible
Nemesis7 Wrote:Is it possible to read (unprotected) m4v file tags (title, plot, director, etc.) directly?thats a question i don't know, you should ask in another forum, general xbmc, not in skin developement.
