[WIP] The Carmichael - a new skin for XBMC

Does it support the latest nightlies? Which is the latest release of the skin?

pretty quiet here now

found a but maybe ?
if i want to go to webradio addon ( so Music - addon - listenliveEU - ... ) at the upper left corner the text just overlaps eachother

This is a great skin and so I just wanted to know why this skin is still in the WIP section and not the completed skins section. I think it deserves a sub-folder of its own!

As the bug department goes, what about this ?
Add a new series (create a new folder, put some files in it), scan for new content and scrap, then go to home screen then to the video one : under stats/videos TV series number isn't updated, you don't have a total series number + 1.

As I didn't try in the first place to exit XBMC then launch it again, I don't know if the stats are properly updated this way but switching skin does it, stats are updated.

Just downloaded the skin, and I love it.
Just wondering about 2 things:

1) Why isn't there a "Watched" indicator on episodes? You can mark stuff as watched, and in the menu it says how many are unwatched - would an indicator be hard to add?

2) Scrolling through Cover Flow the covers seem to repeat themselves for 10 or so covers. Any way to pre cache more covers or something?

As I have more time these days and already working on another translation, I thought that maybe it was time for me to do the french translation we talked about.
You mentionned a Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.carmichael\language\English so I checked the french folder one to update it and found that it had nothing to do as when using XBMC with the french updated strings still gives me wrong sentences, like in the lower right pane in Series TV : "ALEATOIRES EPISODES" instead of "EPISODES ALEATOIRES" (my french updated strings).

I checked at the same time the french XBMC strings in x:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\language\French to find that many strings weren't localized. So, I'm on it, both should be done in a couple of days (the Carmichael is already done).

By the way, which code is returned by the Exit button when you press S. I'm trying to configure it for a microsoft media center remote without luck : the best I could do was to send the 's' code then chose exit.

The press 'S' code is DialogButtonMenu.xml

Yea either ppic or maxoo did the french translations but there are probably out of date, so if you get those thats cool, thx...

Love the theme. It's by far my favourite. Just one problem I have, On the main page it shows now playing album/song, I would like to change it to artist/song, can anyone explain how I do that?

EDIT: Don't worry figured it out.

Not the S as I already manage it natively on the remote by just sending an S, but the code to the exit button in the buttons panel opened by that S, shortening by a step my program's exit.

in the same department, I am wondering if keycodes are skin related or if they are pertaining to xbmc as I looked without luck for the code showing the option bar (view modes, sort, files and search) when you're at the leftmost row and you press the left arrow : it's just pain in the ass being at the rightmost row and having to navigate to the [leftmost row + one more left arrow] to get it.
