1.1.3
Added: Custom buttons to Movies and TV Shows

Thanks for this very useful addition, however I found a small bug. It seems that the custom buttons are not showing up if every other submenu is disabled. If I re-enable at least one of the default submenu's (like 'New Movies') the custom submenus do show up.

Everything is installed the XBMC folder.

yes, i am i thought it best to keep everything in the xbmc dir as i did not want it all over the shop.

is this the best way ?

oh also does your skin support order by date in the tv shows as i have some tv shows that have all the season from 1 to 6 and the specials at the end but in this mode there not in the right order as some specials are in between seasons.

i dont know if you have added this feature to this skin as the orig version does not let you select anything it just keeps it as name order.

eg 24 season 1 to 6 then a special then season 7 to 8 but as i view it now its season 1to 8 and special at the end.

is it possable to have a date order in tv shows like in movies ?

And the update button's grayed out, so I can't even manually update it. What am I doing wrong here? Right now it looks like I'll have to uninstall Revisited and re-install it to get 1.13. Does the auto-update option not work yet?? I know I could uninstall and reinstall the skin to get 1.13 but that definitely can't be the right way to do it.

*EDIT* I uninstalled 1.12, restarted XBMC, re-installed and 1.12 still came up. I learned 2 days ago that SVN's don't give me the latest version, so how the hell do I get 1.13?
'Auto Update' checks every 6 hours if there's a newer version available and I can confirm it works as I have it on my HTPC. If you want to get it before it's been checked then simply 'Force Refresh' (context menu) on my Repo in the Add-ons settings.

Thanks, it was working ok for videos just not Music, Movies and TV Shows - I forgot to update them.

Fixed for next update.

That's nothing to do with the skin unfortunately, it's just XBMC.

Not really, the best way is to have it separate.

Its more of a personel preferance i prefer to run -p and keep everything in the same folder also means i can copy
that folder onto one of my other media players (I have three) and it keeps all the settings.
it also lets me play with more then one svn install.

swapped from alaska to revisited recently, cause it just looks so damn good. Missing one option though.. Would it be possible to hide main menu items like pictures, weather etc ? Using the default view, and I would like only music, movies and tvshows seen on main menu, for a clean nice look.

Cheers !

Possible yes, but Hitcher won't be the one doing it. He said it would be a lot of work, but maybe somebody out there will make a mod for this. There are a few things lacking that will keep me from making this my main skin. If nobody makes mods (one you mentioned + CDart) I hope I can learn enough about skinning enough to make the mods myself.

Eventually disabling main menu items is going to be important, as well as a kiosk mode of course

My coding is on the floor but I'm learning and I would like to take this on in the next few moths, although hitcher made it sound like a tedious challenge...
... yet isn't this still a feature in the original Alaska?, so the code is out there...
... maybe people want to partner up on this? I do...
... there must be a quite few people who do not want or need weather/programs/pictures/videos in the main menu...
... would be cool to work with people with a range of coding experience

Easiest would be turning it into a fixed list rather than a hand-coded list...If you try to disable items in a hand coded list you have to deal with a bunch of conditionals and a bunch of animation positioning. In a regular list (fixed, wraplist, panel) XBMC does it for you.

Actually I think Hitcher might have been thinking about this cause as I type I remember him asking about multi-images in a List...

Don't hold me to this as I know next to nothing about skinning. But I'm curious to learn, and while what I really want to work on is a CDart mod. You can include me, not sure how far I'll get trying to learning how to skin. But I'm willing to give it a shot. Do you use AIM or Yahoo Messenger? If you want, send me a PM on here and maybe we could start something up. Perhaps there are some others on here who don't know skin are interested too. We could start up a n00b skinning group.

Hay, you gotta start somewhere right? Big Grin

Yep, and I spent 2 or 3 days trying to get it working that way (recoding from scratch) but the multi-images wouldn't work in the unfocused panels (they simply displayed the focused ones). On top of that the animations never looked as good either. Scraped the lot the in the end and recoded it the original way but managed to slim down the code.


Right those of you who want to tackle this here's what you've got to look for.

is there a way to make the info on the tvshow auto scroll as there seems to be some missing info on some tv show info when selected

cheers

You mean like 'Scroll Plot'?
