addon skin in 1080p
#1
Rainbow 
I have seen some addons with their own gui ex: spotimc
They have some skin .xml files in "script.audio.spotimc/resources/skins/DefaultSkin/720p"
They are all according to 720p and even if I use 1080p skin, the addon gui is still drawn in 720p.
I edited some xml files in "script.audio.spotimc/resources/skins/DefaultSkin/720p" and gave some x,y and width, height
according to 1080p but they appeared very large(because the spotimc gui was still rendered in 720p resolution).

Is it that addons own skin files can be in 720p only and addons can display any gui in 720p only even if the skin is 1080p ?
How can I force it to 1080p?

Thanks for help in advance.

In short: You can create your skin (or any add-on skin) in 720p and/or 1080i - but then you need to have the xml files in the "1080i" folder.

Thanks sphere, that works, I was using name 1080p instead of 1080i.
Why is it p for 720 resolution and i for 1080 resolution ?

Any way Thanks !!

In theory it means the interlaced method (p means progressive = no interlacing, i means interlaced). But I guess it only has a historic reason because both resolutions are progressive (full) resolutions now.

Necro-ing this old post to confirm, if anyone can, that addons CAN use a 1080i folder for their skins.

Thanks,

Hi, would it be possible to rename the 720p folder to 1080i for a skin that wasn't originally created with that folder? I want to use a modded pvr theme with the xonfluence skin but specific .xml files need to be placed in the 1080i folder for it to work. Not very good with skins so didnt wwant to start renaming stuff and brick my kodi set up.
