10.5 support?

embrion · 2010-06-27 12:07

Hi,

Alaska (any many other skins) doesn't work with newer XBMC builds and this is probably because of skinning changes.

Any chances to get Alaska for newer builds?
I checked differences between older and newer format skins (Aeon versions) and it looks like the only difference is XML file (already done that) and "media" compressed into "textures.xpr".

I'm busy getting Alaska Revisited finished (with support for all new XBMC features) and then I'll be working on another project so I'm hoping someone else will eventually update the original Alaska.

Thanks.

Thanks for those posts.
It looks like I borked something as I've remade addon.xml and it does work.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<addon

  id="skin.alaska"

  version="2.2"

  name="Alaska"

  provider-name="Team Alaska">

  <requires>

    <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="2.11"/>

  </requires>

  <extension 

    point="xbmc.gui.skin"

    defaultresolution="720p" 

    defaultresolutionwide="720p"

    defaultthemename="textures.xbt" 

    effectslowdown="1"

    debugging="false"/>

  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

    <summary>Alaska</summary>

    <description>Alaska.</description>

    <platform>all</platform>

  </extension>

</addon>

Wouldn't it be "just" correct font? I've always thought it is.

it was in the original Alaska, and then removed in the "revisited" version

The fonts weren't 'removed' from Revisited because they weren't there in the first place in DJH's initial code, and seeing as I wanted Revisited to be as close to that as possible I didn't want to compromise by using inferior fonts.

As for your original question ("Please add unicode support in 10.5 compatible version of Alaska.") well once Alaska (not Revisted) gets updated to 10.5 you'll have it.

It's not Hitchers original Alaska but I have updated BIG Alaska (which is based on the original Alaska Final) for the latest Nightly SVN's

Thanks. Is there unicode support available?
