I'm working on adding the time into the OSD now....then not sure what next. If you've got ideas/suggestions, let me know.

I added it in real quick to see how it looked. I used to use The Carmichael skin and loved it there, but I'm not so sure it works in Metropolis. It may be kind of redundant with the flags below. If you like it, then I can modify what's needed and give you the files.

is it possible to have it shown on every movie poster that is HD whether its selected yes or no ?

example u have change-up selected and it shows the HD flag but if (maybe it is) the hangover part 2 is also HD does it show the flag there aswell ?

Sorry for the delay, been busy in real life. Smile
I'm still working on the mod and should have something for you to try out next week.

You need to have Apple Movie Trailers Lite addon installed.

Sad to say, no. Sad

I have been unable to find the time or desire to work on this for some time now. I feel it would be unfair of me to make everyone wait even longer while I "hopefully" find the time again so I have uploaded the uncompressed skin (with some notes, templates and unfinished themes included) for anyone else to pick up and proceed further. Please feel free to change & add to the skin as you see fit. I obviously relenquish any right to critique or complain about anything that is done.

DOWNLOAD

The download above is not much further along than the Alpha was. The minor changes/fixes I've done are as listed in POST#2 and (unfortunately for those wanting an Eden release) the skin is still only for Dharma. I had made the decision to just go ahead & update it to Eden but never started that phase.

On the bright side, someone did PM me with an offer to pick the skin up and move it forward to Eden. However, the PM was from a couple weeks ago & I haven't been around til today to reply to them so there is a possibility they may have changed their mind by now. For that reason, I don't want to mention their name, but THANK YOU to them if they still want to.

That PM was from me and I am picking up where Amra left off. First order of business will be to get it Eden ready and then to finish out the details.

I have no grand illusions of a release date at this point. Once I get some of the core stuff fixed for Eden I'll upload it to git for any an all to try out.

Sad to hear it. Metropolis has been the only skin I've used ever since the alpha (with Pre-Eden by the way) and it's spectacular.

@stoli
Here are the tiny fixes I've provided in this thread. I haven't checked if the line numbers have changed with the new download though, so keep that in mind.


1) Try to tweak code for better consistency of duration text. "Min" vs "min" vs "mins". May actually be due to scraper info.

Row 244 in Viewtype_LowList.xml isn't localized:
Code:
<label>$INFO[ListItem.Duration,, mins]</label>
...instead of the intended:
Code:
<label>$INFO[ListItem.Duration,, $LOCALIZE[31299]]</label>

Personally I think the duration looks better in lowercase though, so I changed all 15 occurances throughout the project to:
Code:
<label>$INFO[ListItem.Duration,, [LOWERCASE]$LOCALIZE[31299][/LOWERCASE]]</label>



2) Fix missing toasts when toggling subtitles on/off, or switching between subtitle tracks.
Line 14 In DialogKaiToast.xml, change

Code:
<visible>!Window.IsActive(2006) + !VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen</visible>

...to:

Code:
<visible>!Window.IsActive(2006)</visible>

3) Vertical Scroll Nub Cropped:
Includes.xml, line 1107, change the value from 18 to 22

4) Horizontal Scroll Nub Cropped:
Includes.xml, line 1086, change the value from 540 to 534
Includes.xml, line 1088, change the value from 18 to 30

5) Issue not listed in the ToDo list:
The content/scraper settings dialog is placed too far down on the screen, making it overlap the image and the temperature and day in the lower right corner.

The Fix:
DialogContentSettings.xml, line 8, change y to 30

I'd like to help, if you need it!
Nothing to see here....

That is sad news Amra, this is really one of the most original and best skins for XBMC around. I hope you will find some time in the future.

Good news that stoli en Zepfan will volunteer to continue and make it eden compatible. That is indeed the most important thing.
I hope you guys can keep the style remain. If you need Someone for Photoshop you can PM me.
