Transparency! SVN for XBMC nightly builds

**ronie** · 2012-01-04 19:05

could be a bug in xbmc, i would need to see a debug log to know for sure.

several users have reported similar issues before, sadly there isn't an easy fix for it.

OK.

I'll try and get a debug log together and put the link up.

Thanks

PS - Just a quick bug report.
When in movies library using the icon view (I think) the one that looks like a big coverflow view), and you enter a movie collection (boxset) the animation of the cases as they go off the left edge of the screen is missing. it just dissapears instead of animating off like the right side of the screen. It works fine on the main movie level, it just seems to be in movie collections.

maybe i'm looking in the wrong places, but i don't see it anywhere...
i don't think entering a moviecollection should trigger an animation
at least, it doesn't do so on my end.

not when entering collections but when scrolling left and right within a collection (boxset)

nope... not seeing any issue there.

when things go wacky, restart xbmc...that might fix it at your end.

here is the debug log.

the issue arrises around 18.12.06

as for the animation glitch i'll have to take another look

rudeboyx · 2012-01-04 20:27

just checked the animation and its still happening. i have case animations dissabled in settings also.

go into a boxset and select icon view. then scroll left. you will notice the far right box slide off screen smoothly. now scroll right. the far left box does move off screen to the left but at a lightning speed which makes it appear to vanish instead of scrolling off.

hope that clarifies it. its not hugely noticable unless your a long time user Wink

Well i sorted the home menu shortcut issue, by changing my sources from local drives to smb shares and it works correctly now.

The last major issue im having is when running two instances of advanced launcher.

advanced launceher 1 = emulators
advanced launceher 2 = apps,internet etc

when setting these up as 2 seperate favorites i get a funny issue

enter custom "Games" menu on home screen (advanced launceher 1) and I can see my games list.
Now I enter custom "Internet" menu on home screen (advanced launceher 2) and see a list of my websites.
now go back home and enter "Games" (advanced launceher 1) again, but instead, it takes me back to my "internet" (advanced launceher 2).

I expect this is a similar bug to my previous issue and is not skin related, but just incase its related to your favorites script, I thought I'd better let you know.

Again all this used to work perfectly with XBMC Dharma and Transparency!.

Thanks

i've added support for the actors metadata addon:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=123578

here's how to access this feature in T!:

- if you're browsing the actors in the video info dialog, hit the 'extras' button:

- if you're browsing actors or directors in your library, use the context menu:

[Image: actors2.jpg]

the addon supports actors, directors, writers and artists (filmography).
it'll work for both movie and tvshow actors.

in the artist info dialog, use the 'movies' button to see the filmography for a certain artist.
