Not sure a screenshot would help as it seems to be the animation that is bugging, but I'll try to make a video tonight.

Unless your planning to re release the night version, then i will release
my night version of xperience 1.1 love what you have done with it and finally
the volume bar works and looks the way it should.
As for being able to use your own avatar gamer picture on the home screen this is possible i think, i will look into this later after i complete my midnight mod it's 75% done. Cool

It looks like its flashing between black and white icons. Nothing like the smooth animation in the videos. Is this is a known issue?

Check for an xpr or xbt (not sure xbt works with multiimages) file in media as this will cause it to arse up the animations.

I never compress the animations, flags and custom folders.

Maybe another stupid question, but how do I add the passion-xbmc repo to XBMC?

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ???????

Hej, guys what are you talking about? Which avatar and where? I wonder because only what I think is the avatar in right top corner wich is already available in Xperience 1.1 and picture is taken from profile avatar.

to get the image you need this code and just place is in a .py file then tell the skin to load it, then its a matter of just loading the downloaded image into the skin interface.

Get avatar images script (**** = your gamertag)

Code:

import xbmc, xbmcgui, urllib

loc = urllib.URLopener()

loc.retrieve("http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/****/avatar-body.png","special://skin/media/avatar.png")

loc.retrieve("http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/****/avatarpic-l.png","special://skin/media/gamerpic.png")

image code to load the avatar.

Code:

<control type="image">

    <posx>100</posx>

    <posy>0</posy>

    <width>279</width>

    <height>334</height>

    <texture>avatar.png</texture>

    <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

    <animation type="WindowOpen" reversible="false">

    <effect type="fade" start="0" end="100" time="1000" delay="0" />

    </animation>

    <animation type="Windowclose" reversible="false">

    <effect type="fade" start="100" end="0" time="100" />

    </animation>

</control>

looks like this.

Guess this means it's possible to have that show up on a panel (on home) similar to how NXE already does huh?

i meant to quote lol edited it instead, sorry.

yup just add a visible condition.

just add this to Home.xml after the debug include and place the .py file in 720p/Scripts/ named update avatars.py

PHP Code:

<control type="image">
    <posx>100</posx>
    <posy>0</posy>
    <width>279</width>
    <height>334</height>
    <texture>avatar.png</texture>
    <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
    <animation type="WindowOpen" reversible="false"><effect type="fade" start="0" end="100" time="1000" delay="0" /></animation>
    <animation type="Visible" reversible="false"><effect type="fade" start="0" end="100" time="1000" delay="0" /></animation>
    <animation type="Windowclose" reversible="false"><effect type="fade" start="100" end="0" time="100" /></animation>
    <animation type="Hidden" reversible="false"><effect type="fade" start="100" end="0" time="100" /></animation>
    <visible>Container(20).HasFocus(1)</visible>
</control> 

now add this code to Startup.xml before the first onfocus

PHP Code:

<onfocus>RunScript(special://skin/720p/Scripts/update avatars.py)</onfocus> 

this will only show the avatar when the movies panel has focus. (so just change the hasfocus ID to another panels ID)

Wanna maybe make those files for me and I'll give it a test?

I'd attempt myself but editing the skin so they'll accept it on xbmc addons repo is a daunting task...
