[RELEASE] The Big Pictures

This is a great Add-On - it's consistently in my top 3. So firstly thanks very much for making it!

I'm having some problems with displying the onscreen info at the moment.
I'm using pre-Eden on AppleTV2.
- When I load the script it will usually briefly display the onscreen info over a black background. This will then quickly disappear and be replaced by just the photograph.
- Pressing the "info" button via an iPhone remote app does not bring up the info.
- There's no specific "info" button on the ATV hardware remote, but I *think* that an extended button press of one of the buttons serves the same purpose - doing this has no effect either.

There's a full debug log below:

BTW The version number that is displayed next to the addon in the menu is 2.0.0, not 2.0.1. I tried doing a force refresh on the XBMC repo to see if I could get an update, but the version number of the addon in the repo was also 2.0.0

@ sphere; for your and our sanity, please delay announcing "it's in the repo" by at least 2h from when i pull. it's the time reserved for our mirrors to sync up, i.e. the repo description xml is only updated on a 2h basis.

Hi,

you are still using 2.0.0 (which had a problem with nightly eden-pre builds and the info-layers) - but its not your fault
The pull to the official repo took longer / I announced the change too early...

The new version is in since about one hour - please be patient or force a refresh and update.

please report back

regards,

EDIT:
@spiff: yes - my bad, sorry for that.

no reason to apologize, just meant as a fyi

I've just got the update. Everything seems to be displaying properly now. Cheers

Fine

Since I don't own an ATV2, let me ask you one question: You only have "one real key" on your ATV-remote, right? Maybe I can also add toggling the OSD with that key - Do you know which button/action is mapped to that key?

regards,
sphere

The ATV remote has 7 buttons



Two additional functions can be assigned to extended presses of the menu button, and the select button. At the moment doing an extended press of the menu button brings up the download menu in this Add-on.

Here's a link to the Joystick.AppleRemote.xml that's used for the Apple Remote:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Joy...l_for_ATV2

In a slideshow an extended press of the select button is assigned to the info function - which is why I thought it might do it in this Add-on. It doesn't, but it might be a good choice of key to use if you were to assign this function to a keypress


EDIT: The on-screen info can be toggled by a single press of the select button on the ATV remote when viewing individual pictures. Info cannot be toggled with the ATV remote when selecting which album to view, but a full view of the photo depicting the album can be seen by entering the album and then switching off the info panel.

Hi,
this is one of my fav add-ons, so thanks alot

However it hasnt been working in weeks now
when I try to launch it it says: "Error Script Failed:runscript.py" and then nothing happens. Could you help me a bit with this one?

Hi,

I need to see the xbmc.log - please upload it to pastebin or wherever you like.
You can also try to get me in IRC in the #xbmc channel.

Btw. Are you running the recent version? dharma->1.5.1, eden-pre ->2.0.1
