Alaska Original BUGS thread

Oral-B Wrote:Well, it *did* work yesterday when you released the first new version of the skin... It's only been this way since today.

Before I had two font files, one of which I'd edited all the lowercase characters to uppercase, but that font can't be used as it's not free hence the change.

Just updated the skin with git, and I must say it seems all the bugs I noticed are gone! Well done What you have done here is fantastic

Regarding the uppercase foreign characters it looks like I'll have to make another font set after all.

Plot summary should be blank (and does appear so using Confluence):



EDIT: Another side effect of uppercasing - you can't us it along with a fallback. (Hitcher).

Great work Hitcher. The new version is awesome!

There seems to be a strange bug in the music OSD: The year and track strings in the lower right-hand corner are on top of each other when playing M4A files (Apple Lossless). Apparently, the year information is lower than it should be, obscuring the track information.

This problem only occurs when playing M4A files. MP3s work fine!!

I'm using XBMC Live (latest SVN) at 1080p with an Alaska version of earlier today. The december version didn't have this problem by the way.

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for your effort.

Two little things I found:

1. When you have 'watched' overlays turned off the label still appears on watched items in the show episode information screen.

2. Not sure if this is truly a bug or not, but when browsing though the list of TV shows using up/down quickly sometimes the letter randomly appears in the top left to signify you reaching a new part of the alphabet in the first letter of the shows, like this:

Thanks.

That's the 'scroll letter' for when you're fast scrolling through Movies/TV.

A little bug I think...

In Pictures mode using Panel view, I don't get sub-folder names when browsing. When I drill down and back up to the parent folder, you get a brief glimpse of the foldername before it disappears.

EDIT: Fixed (Hitcher)

When you first load the skin section titles in Settings are White on Grey but seems to revert back to Red on Grey when you backout and go into Settings again. Maybe just me? I updated from git this morning.

In the appearance settings panel.
Change color for Alaska and then push right twice to get to the section-navigation.
The section text (i.e. Skin) will then fly in from bottom right in the same manner as it did when first entering the settings panel.

Not sure if this really can be called a bug, but there appears to be a slight limitation when modifying colors.
"ButtonFilterColor" controls both the round buttons in the settings menu and the up/down arrows in the setting panels. This makes it rather impossible to have the same color on the round settings buttons and the "PanelDiffuse". In my case a really dark grey. Might just be me overlooking something though.
