You shouldn't need to if the addon.xml have the correct requirement info.

PHP Code:

<import addon="script.recentlyadded" version="1.0.8"/>

Still need someone to send a wrap up of problems? Running Dharma and 1.07 of Shade seeing lots of places that are either missing items or need improvement, I'll go through it (with the settings I would prefer to use) if needed.

I think you may be mistaken. As outlined in another post in this forum. There were some issues with the repo as well as issues with images the size of 1x1 not displaying correctly. The newest repo pull uploaded a faulty textures.xbt that was not my fault. I have notified the team and I'm sure they will fix it soon.

I dont believe there are any "missing items" and if you think something needs "improvement" feel free to post it in the requests thread.

Just got 1.08 seems to have fixed a lot of issues, couple of small things (don't know if they are how they are suppose to be):

List view for TV shows doesn't have a watched icon (side note would like to see a list info view similar to Movies).
Some icons seem to be distorted in places (Tri-banner view in TV Shows has the up icon stretched).

I'll post more if I see, stepping out for a while right now though.

Hello everybody and first of all thanks for the skin, it's great.
I recently installed dharma beta1 (now beta2), but couldn't manually add anything opposed to 9.11 which gave me no problems. I still have to check adding a repo as a zip, but thing is I was stuck with the official repo addons and your skin just appeared and saved me as none of the other was what I wanted, thank you.

Now, I have some doubts and a problem.
I don't know what welo view is (I suppose it tries to compact the info to make pics more visible from what I read here, great!) and glass overlay, is there some FAQ with the skin options? (I'm interested in making the fanart a little more visible while keeping cover, plot and info)

And problem is I don't know how, maybe playing with 'more options' I changed the sorting option and now I can only sort by name in descending order, Z to A, instead of alphabetical A first.
Do you know what could have happen? is it a bug?
If you need logs, pics, just tell me, complete noob with XBMC.

Thank you very much
Cheers

Sort criteria and direction are seperate buttons. Try pressing [align=right]. This is actually not that obvious though. :-)

Thank you very much, solved. I knew it was something like that.
In 'type of ordering' the selected button outlining includes the arrow and when on the 'asc/desc sort' the arrow highlights instead of outlining.
It looks a bit confusing to me also.
Thanks again.
bye

PD: I'm not used to forums and I just realized there's a whole subforum for shade, thought there was only this thread, I'll take a look there.

Ok...gotta say.

WOW. where was this hidden? under a shade? Big Grin

Best skin EVER. Minimalistic, polished uncluttered.

Is it possible to play trailers automatically for movies that have them? it would be awesome. Maybe after a 3 or 5 second delay or something

Awesome thanks for this skin

On the home screen, recent music works great, but the recent movies and tv shows shows blank lines. You can scroll up/down through them, but they are blank. Running Dharma b2.

jackthegroove Wrote:Hehe, i think i've gotten a little closer. I think the problem is in this line:
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=8&totals=True&albums=True&unplayed=True)</onfocus>

It is part of the Home.xml file.

When i recplace it with this:
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=8)</onfocus>

The script works again... but only for recently added material.

I hope i'm getting there

Btw congrats on the new release! I'll try it asap

Progress:
When i change it to this:
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/scripts/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=8&albums=True)</onfocus> albums and video recently added work.
But when i add &totals=true&unplayed=true the script breaks. (Maybe the query has to be different when using a remote database)

But for people using a remote database this can be a temporary solution to use this kick-ass skin

I think my issue is similar. See my previous post. I'm using remote mysql database.
