Question 
Hi TGX and hello to all the people in the forum.

I am working on a mod for your amazing skin and use it for over half a year.
Ever since updating to Kodi 17 the skin throws me errors which I cannot seem to find.
Also skin.service. is giving me an error and everytime if fix the syntax of the xml file it reverts back on every lunch.

please take a look at the photo. Any help or guidance would be highly appreciated.

Is your skin updated for Krypton 17?

Are you using the latest version of the script.skinshortcuts addon?

Are you sure your xml files are 100% xml syntax error free? (include tag missing...)

Hey TGX,

Thanks for the fast reply,

I tried to go over all the xml files in the skin.

some of the has <includes> tags in them and some not.

Because it says it reapeats 21/22 times i am really not sure where to start looking.

I have the latest version of the skin and of all the scripts and services.

from the files I created or modified I didn't set new include in those files only controllers and called already set includes from the includes file.

I am very confused at the moment since this is the only error i get so far and it only shows when I try to switch from black to white themes.

Any suggestions?

start by enabling debug logging in kodi, that will log a whole lot more ;-)
regular logs are near useless for troubleshooting.

That is the debug log of replacing black/white color themes in the skin.
I am still not sure where to look here. it says the same error twice with diff amount of repeats..

any advice?

check your includes.xml file. it needs to start with an <includes> tag.
the same applies to all the files you're including in includes.xml, for instance:
defaults.xml
Include-XXX.xml
View-XXX.xml

Hi guys,

Managed to fix the problem! Thanks to your advice regarding the debug log. Helped a lot!

I still have an issue with the skin though.
Every time I change Hue color or change from B to W or vise versa the skin doesn't restart with what I choose.
In addition, it remembers my Hue color choices (last 2 choices) and every time I change it it doesn't apply and very confusing.

Any chance you know what should I look for in Skinsettings.xml?

I know the theme color and Hue code is there.

Thanks again for your assistance.

I think this can be related to the issue Krypon has with the skin.reload command. Maybe Ronie could be more helpful

Thank you guys.

I am on beta 3 and indeed from beta 1 I didn't have these issues.

I will wait for development on that end and petty sure it will be fixed.

@Tgx, I think your skins are so underrated. It's crazy. The way you wrote the code is so clean and tidy. Thank you for that.

Thanks again for all your help guys, couldn't do that without you.

@ronie, I will follow the thread you provided me with here just in case.

Have a great week!

Ok, does the Steam version of Descent 3 come with the Expansion pack, or is that only Gog?
