Mod reFocus light for Raspberry Pi (Helix-update)
Since I like this skin on my raspberry pi, but need the live-tv functionality, I hacked together a MyPVRChannels.xml that lists the available TV channels and plays one on selection. It doesn't look good and lacks all other functionality, but in case anyone else also can't use this skin without it, you can download it here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lr70os07hp8rzw...s.xml?dl=0

The file just needs to be copied to kodi/addons/skin.refocus.light-helix/720p/

Hello,

I've tried to download the skin today without any success. It seems the files are not there anymore (HTTP 404):

I'm a little confused about the link to SuperRepo (which is actually disabled - but maybe the skin uses their repository to host the files).

Any ideas? I am using OpenELEC 5.0.3.


Cheers,

Dennis

I'm surprised like you! looks like someone put my skin on this superrepo page (https://superrepo.org/kodi/addon/skin.refocus.light/) without asking me which is kinda strange - need to investigate this. In the meantime I would recommend to uninstall this superrepo-repository in Kodi and just use my personal repo (see the first post for instructions). the files are hosted on GitHub as you can see here: https://github.com/freeman212/xbmc.repo....1.14.5.zip

Hello freem@n,

after uninstalling the SuperRepo I could install your skin. Thank you!

Also, would it be possible to enable this setting:

I really like the custom fanart, the slideshow from refocus big really gives things a polished dynamic look. I tried changing the property to skin.refocus.light.slideshow.custom.path but it didn't work.

Any update? Is anyone else interested in this?

Hi! Great script. Is it possible to add the Watchlist-script when pressing right at the homescreen? Like the one here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=214009

Using raspberry pi b+, with xbian and kodi 14.2 beta 2.

did you already try "force refresh" from the context menu when selecting repo? should resolve the "empty repo"-issue in most cases.

Hello, thanks for your great work. I may be missing something obvious - I tried looking through the posts but I don't see how to add or access the 'Programs' menu option?

Loving this skin, do you plan to add thinner fonts? also do you plan to make the home menu items customisable? so I can sort them from top to bottom?

OK, I managed to figure out a workaround. While a global slideshow path isn't available, a slideshow can be set up per category -- which in some respects is nicer. So I was able to recreate the original setup using the following settings in the guisettings.xml. Strangely only weather doesn't work

<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.video.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.movies.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.tvshows.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.music.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.pictures.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.addons.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.system.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.weather.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.refocus.light.fanart.favourites.path">smb://192.168.0.1/share$/Slideshow/</setting>

Now if we could get TV working, that would be awesome!

I thought about setting up my fanart like you (smb://) but I wasn't sure if it would keep my airdisk awake all the time or not?
The only one that doesn't seem to work is my weather fanart which is funny because it's actually on the RPis SD card. It only shows black but I could have sworn it worked the other day? Maybe I changed something on accident? Or maybe I'm nuts and this skin doesn't search for pics recursively? At first a was a bit taken back by the verticaltal only menu but then it's also got the big fonts like I like so I can live with the vertical menu and it's no big deal. It's the smoothest and fastest skin for sure. Maybe even faster than the Amber Skin? Thank You for your efforts and thinking of us Pi users freem@n Cool
