Night Release Thread

AnalogKid Wrote:Bit harsh that! Not all linux end users are linux people. Esp as many are installing Ubunto (or similar) purely to deploy XBMC on top.

That said, there's a little bit of logic he could have employed i.e. "Ok, it's clear there are 100s of linux users on here, and nobody else seems to have moaned about the dots.... could it be me?" ;-)

With his whole "stop this nonsense" rant I didn't feel he deserved compassion.

2. Didn't know it's now part of XBMC, I'll check into that

3. Just downloaded a fresh copy - HERE. Everything fine on my end

Well thats just my point, I already checked both:
Settings>Skin>Home Window Options: Show Weather Widget
Settings>Skin>Home Window Options: Use condition based weather fanart

But there is nowhere where I can set the path. I read post 4:
"go to Weather, then click left for context menu, go to Misc Options..."

When I click left I get 3 options: Select location, Weather: Refresh and Settings: Weather. In the Weather settings I can only set the 3 locations and I see "weather (standard)" when I click that nothing happens.

So there is no way for me to set a location to the fanart anywhere...


And for RecentlyAdded, I downloaded the zip you linked to, extracted default.py and I replaced the file XBMC\addons\skin.night\scripts\RecentlyAdded.py with this new file (so I renamed default.py). Same result as in my screenshot.
When I click RecentlyAdded in TV Shows or Movies I do get a view where it shows recently added stuff. Just the home menu shows blank frames and lines.

No post #4 was explaining:

Quote:the 00 / 09 folders from the rar archive should be renamed to 0 / 9

I just said that because some packs floating the forums are named incorrectly...I'm going to upload the pack I'm using and leave a link later...

You set weather fanart like any other backdrop: Settings->Skin->Background Customizer...Then check the "Use condition based weather fanart" option

WOW ok thanks a lot for explaining, I always skipped background customizer!
Looks very nice
His new pack contains 274MB of images, the naming is correct, no 00-09 folders.
All I am missing now are the nice weather icons per day showing my sunny/clouds/rain etc. Might be a xbmc issue because I had them in previous version (now on rev31004).

thanks for the heads up regarding the shares

No runtime in movies files view !!! it is annoying to check each movie runtime by info !! Please add it mate .. I feel like I'm checking movie pix in that view !!! and not getting any info from it !?!?!

One big request :

Can you add the "path" for each movie in the information page of a movie? it is available in most skins and it is useful.

Thanks mate

I think it will better to remove the "Question mark" in all view that use Fanart for movies .. it looks funny to see a big "?" !

cheers
