[RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5

There are no AMT specific posters, they are the same as the ones for movies. And those are actually bigger than before.
If they really are much smaller there's something else going on and a screenshot would help.

I have pulled 0.9 for now.

There's too many weird thing happening at the moment that I can't explain. AMT stopped working for me before, and now practically every add-on fails to start.

Bugs show up in the compiled version of 0.9 that don't show up in my uncompiled version, bugs I cannot reproduce, etc.

It has become totally unclear for me what is causing what, if it's the skin or something wrong with my XBMC install. This way I cannot concentrate on what's really important.

I am going to nuke my db and profiles and uninstall my XBMC install(s) and concentrate on getting the issues reported here fixed first. When that feels right, I will re-release 0.9.

This is basically what I just did. With all the nightlies, the databases were piling up. I literally had 5 versions of the video database. I even had a really strange bug appear where I was getting negative unwatched episodes but I'm sure that was caused by something in the XBMC core...

I'll let you know my results but on a cursory glance, I'm still getting the bugs I reported earlier. Though the unwatched overlays are appearing now so that, hopefully, is one bug down.

Jeroen Wrote:Nope, sorry. Providing a toggle for that isn't as trivial as it may sound. Yes, they are easily added to the main menu, but a whole second structure of the menu would have to created in order to do it properly.

On a related note, there are plans for XBMC regarding home menus in this regard. It will become easier for users to customize home menus without skinners needing to provide countless conditions and settings.

So, any investment in that area would currently feel like a waste of time to me.

Understood. Will changa manually the next few releases.

Was your reFocus 0.9 version tested with nigthlies? I haven't tried night because I was afraid that the skin won't work like expected and I don't like Confluence.

If you tell me it's working I'll test the builds I've found for Mac with PVR.

A little offtopic, databases are backed up after you update to Eden?

I hope you can solve all skin errors (I have none of them on march 6th nigthly) and everyone can enjoy this awsome skin.

Cheers!

Yest, it has been tested on nightlies. I would say it generally works better on nightlies than on 10.0/10.1

I would say back up your db manually just to be sure. I believe at some point going from 10.1 to nightlies it trashed mine.

I can and will fix them. Which brings me to my stance on development at the moment. I will concentrate purely on developing for nightlies/Eden from now on. reFocus 0.8.9.6 should be considered as the last Dharma compatible release.

There's quite a lot of things going on in XBMC that have impact on skinning, and I simply do not have the time or desire to keep the skin backwards compatible.

Once the nightlies reach a (semi)stable state a new release can be expected.

Please reconsider; there's no telling when Eden will be released. I love the new version and I really don't want to roll it back.

I've only experienced a handful of issues myself, like the unwatched label not appearing in gallery view.

I know my plea will probably make no difference, but I wanted to give my two pennies.

How about reFocus nightlies? The more testers, the more bugs and weird behaviors discovered.

Forum is good for discussing features and stuff but not for bugs. Here's the plan:
1. reFocus nightlies
2. bugtrack (Trac, Google code or other?)

sorry, maybe a stupid question but where actually do i get version 0.9? the link brings me to a download page wich contains only version 0.8.9.6 plus a strings.xml for version 0.9.

You can't get 0.9...he pulled it due to the amount of inconsistencies / bugs between XBMC 10.1 and the nightlies. If you go back 7 posts he details his reason behind it more clearly.
