Transparency! v3.11.7 for xbmc dharma 10.1

Ronie,
Wow, just wow! It has been a while since I've used transparency and this new version is just so polished and customizable. Great job!

One small thing I noticed is audio channel flagging isn't working with DTS-ES audio on video files (and I'm assuming any other 6.1 channel DTS audio).

Oh yeah...I already put the DVD/Bluray artwork on thousands of movies, so clear case is better than something fancy.

2. The logo site has been down, should be fixed relativity soon...

1. Don't know how I missed the thread on that before posting... fixed now!

2. Okay, cool!

This is great news, thank you very much! Transparency! is by far my favourite XBMC skin and I was really hoping to see a stable new version before Dharma gets out of Beta, so this thread makes me very very happy indeed

I cant see it yet myself and i can see all other plugin and such.

if you're already using the svn version of T!,
you must uninstall it first.

just in case anyone else has the same issue, check here for a fix:

nope, sorry those are gone and there's no easy way to get them back.
recoding a big part of the skin is your only option i'm afraid.

there's an option in skin settings to hide the dvd/blu-ray cases.
so in your case it might be better to do so.

i will have to look into it.
do you know any other skin where it is working?

the skin depends on how xbmc reports the audio-codec to the skin,
and it could be so that it just reports the audio stream as dts-6.1.
in such a case, there's nothing i could do.

but like i said, will have to test first to be sure.


edit:
a quick look at my code painfully reveals that i'm at least
missing the media flags for dolby digital 6.1 & dts 6.1

i will add those of course.

Thanks for the latest update. I'm always trying other skins and their mods, but, always come back to T!. Anyway, is it a hard task for a non-programmer/skinner to change the order of items on the home screen? I added a play list for BluRay and I'd like to move it over next to movies or videos. Thanks again, Ronie.

shouldn't be to difficult.
the order of the menu items can be changed in Includes_Home.xml
look up the <content> sections in that file.
the first one is for the vertical menu, the second one for the horizontal menu.

move the <item>...</item> parts around as you see fit.

Thanks!! That did the trick and I was able to figure out my next question on my own
