- Jezz_X - 2012-03-09 I personally would say no but my opinion may not be the teams mainly because it can cause issues when conditions for visibility and other things can cause issues like having a live TV button in settings will confuse users when it does nothing for them in non pvr - Hitcher - 2012-03-10 Jezz_X Wrote:heh I went a little more generic and advanced I guess than that hitcher my folder layout looks like this Thanks for posting this Jezz, I've switched over to this method. Anyone know if it's possible to extract the revision number from the addon.xml and append it to the skin folder and changelog? And then zip the skin folder? Thanks. - Hitcher - 2012-03-11 Hitcher Wrote:Thanks for posting this Jezz, I've switched over to this method. Finally got it set up so I can simply click on a desktop shortcut and it'll build the texture.xbt (and theme.xbt if present); copy all the relevant files and folders; zip up the skin with it's current version number appended; do the same for the changelog.txt; and finally move the zip, fanart, icon, and changelog to my repo folder. - Balinus - 2012-03-11 Hitcher Wrote:Finally got it set up so I can simply click on a desktop shortcut and it'll build the texture.xbt (and theme.xbt if present); copy all the relevant files and folders; zip up the skin with it's current version number appended; do the same for the changelog.txt; and finally move the zip, fanart, icon, and changelog to my repo folder. That's what I call a real workflow Minimum clicks and minimum "human" intervention!

RE: Help with workflow for skinning - Hitcher - 2012-03-28 Batch script (save as updater.bat) Code: @echo off Notes
Then simply create a shortcut for the build.bat and pass the skin folder name as a parameter like this - Here's my repo addon.xml - PHP Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> My repo is stored in my Public DropBox folder so if you use the same method just change your URLs. RE: Help with workflow for skinning - Mudislander - 2012-03-30 Thanks, It's brilliant RE: Help with workflow for skinning - jingai - 2012-03-30 It would be nice if you could 'hold' a specific version of an addon/skin within XBMC. That way, if I want to contribute to a given skin, I can: * put the skin on hold * clone their repo straight into my working addons folder * branch, do work, commit, push * take skin off hold I currently achieve this by just setting the skin's version to 9.9.9 whenever I'm working on it, but this would be a bit nicer. -j |
