xTV SAF - Bugs/ToDo list

Kavika Wrote:Nice to chat with you again. VERY happy with your latest work!
Please please don't hesitate to ask me to help you debug, check, re-check, or test anything for ya.

As for my question, yes, i'm saying that once i have the OSD showing, it won't go away until i select the START button, even AFTER if have re-played the video again. For example, say i pause my video. Then, as it should, the OSD shows up. BUT, when i un-pause (play), the video resumes, as it should, but the OSD remains until i hit START to make it disappear. (Hope that was more clear.)

Again, i'm happy to help out! Just let me know what i can do!
The new version you are working on sounds brilliant! Can't wait!

P.S. - Best wishes on your hospital visit!

Kavika,

OK, will have a look and see what I can turn up.

anyone else have the tiny bug that when going to Settings, no item is selected (the cursor is off the right of the menu).

Smiff,

Yes, this relates to a script that is run from a hidden button on the "System" menu. After the script is run, it's suppose to move focus to the first visible menu item, but that does not seem to be the case. Little bugs like this is the reason that I now have a couple of beta testers looking over my shoulder. Will try to fix for the next release, but it's pretty minor (just move down to first menu item, and you will see the focus appear).

Smiff,

Ok, pretty sure this is now fixed. Will be in next release 0.90. Due in a couple of weeks.

good to see you're on the case, thanks.
i'll be updating all my older xboxes with this skin soon so plenty more bugs to come, maybe some which actually matter

some more minor bugs:
1) from the main menu, when you go into all the categories the title and icon move to the top right corner of the screen, except for the movies section, which is missing that title (is this because i edited that string in english.xml?)
2) Under Information > System info > Network many settings do not appear (don't know if this is XBMC for Xbox bug?)

and a serious bug:
1) if you have music playing with fullscreen visualization, and you keep pressing the Menu button, the old skin guide menu bar (the menu with text across it) will appear/disappear over the top of the new (icon based) menu bar! the button has no affect on the new menu bar and that stays on screen. is this bug known?

edit: actually the only way to get rid of the new menu bar if this happens is to play and then stop a video. ?

I think I know what you are talking about on 1) and this has been fixed, but could you please post a screenshot so that I can be sure.

On 2) Will look at it, but I think this is an XBMC for Xbox issue. Just the same post a screenshot so that I know what you are seeing (a picture tells a thousand words)

Think this relates back to how I was handling VideoOSD.xml and DialogSeekBar.xml , which means I'm currently working on a solution. But again post a screenshot.

Keep posting problems, I'm a one man band who has probably be looking at the skin for too long. Getting to the point where I am probably not even seeing the problems any more.

Hi Guy's,

Still not 100%, but I think it's time to start work on the next release, hopefully no Win ME GUI's on the horizon. Anyway here is what I plan to work on:

• Family mode (Easy access to family media, protected access to Adult media)
• Support for OpenSubtitle script
• Some new 'views' and cleanup of existing views
  

• Some code cleanups to make theme support easier.
  

That's the plan, some of the above may not come to pass in this release, but it's what I'm aiming for.

Now here is your chance to add to the above list. If you have any bugs or features that you think I need to work on, leave a post on this thread and I will see what I can manage.

- increased contrast on the screen keyboard. on some TVs its almost impossible to tell which letter you have selected. make it blue on white or something really obvious please?
- option to add a user plugin to homepage?
- my buffering % hack

Smiff,

- On screen keyboard is something I REALLY dislike. I think using a QWERTY layout would be better as it is more familiar to most people and would probably be quicker with a remote to navigate. Will look at it at some stage, just not a huge priority as yet.

- Don't think its possible (XBMC won't allow it), but if it is I'm sure someone else has probably done it, so what I need from you is an example from another skin. Let me know what skin is using it, and I will do the rest.

- Have not had a chance to look at it as yet, but can't see any reason why your hack can't make it into the next release.

ok glad we agree on the screen keyboard sucking. not sure how to "fix" it, be worth checking other skins to see if anyone has an elegant one. i know at last the PM3 keyboard is readable. not sure Qwerty achieves anything. hmm.

for my little buffering % thing, i've decided <posy>540</posy> is better - puts it under the Paused label, so can be read on white content.
