Hello all,
I just updated my nightly build to the one of today (june 16th).
And it crashed on home screen. Tried to go back to previous nightly but same problem.
Problem comes from recently added features from different skins (I tested with Neon and Aeon nox).
If you encounter the same problem here are the steps to have xbmc running fine again (but you lose the recently added feature):
- go to your addons folder (\Users\Cault\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons on Win7)
- locate your skin folder(skin.aeon.nox for example) and move it to wherever you want
- launch xbmc, it will fall back to the default skin
- go to setting/appearance and select the default skin (it should still display your previous skon name)
- quit xbmc
- move back your skin folder to the addons folder
- launch xbmc and put back your beloved skin
- navigate to the skin menu in options to desactivate the "recently added" feature
- get a beer, sit back and enjoy
Thanks everyone on team xbmc for this awesome soft!!!
PS to admin: feel free to delete, move or do anything with this post, just thought it might help on the moment.
I'm not sure that it is a XBMC bug and not skin related. If it's xbmc, please tell, i'll put it up on the tracker.
