Call me stupid but how do I stack AVI's in Xephyr using the pad?


- Weavus - 2008-01-05

Wow, great skin, really well done.

Couple of questions...
Why does the skin not remember which section was selected on the homescreen when it returns to the homescreen? Its always defaulting to Music for me which is a little annoying, I'd rather it remember the last one selected.

Should the background images not change to the section selected on the homescreen? Whenever I move between sections on the homescreen it still shows the background images from the Music section which as above is the one thats always defaulted to. (I have downloaded the background packs and I'm using them, they work fine once inside the section)

This is using the latest t3ch build and alpha7 versions of the skin.

Thanks!

The not remembering thing came about thanks to a weird bug that made certain backgrounds not fade in/out properly after returning to Home. Or at least I think it did. I'll have another look and see if anything can be done.

As for any other weirdness with background changing, I'm at a loss. I'm not aware of any other bugs in that department, so all I can recommend is the usual practice of wiping your GUISettings and trying again. The next build will have a reset option which makes that less painful, though I'm hesitant to release it yet thanks to a) a number of nuisances I've yet to iron out, and b) because it uses features which, until a new binary's released, will simply malfunction in anything but the latest SVN build.

Really lovin this skin thank you for all your efforts. I was wondering if it was possible to use some of the space on the list view to display a thumbnail file, I have knock together a quick mock up to try and better express this idea. What do you this possible or not?

speaking of SVN, when will Xephyr enter http://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xboxmediacenter/

@sp10

There is a zephyr mod a few pages back that has a Tvinfo and Movieinfo view that do pretty much what you have shown. In these views the thumbnail icon shows up on the right hand side of the screen for a few seconds then zooms out to a smaller picture with the video info underneath. It is very nice to look at and is my default view for tvshows at the episode level. Hopefully there will be something similar in the new xephyr build coming out soon. If not I will definitely be working on adding it. Cheers.

@DJH

Thanks for all your hard work. We are all anxiously awaiting your next build. On a side note: i know that you, like myself, are using the linux build of xbmc. I have successfully added buttons labeled "web" and "live TV" to launch firefox and mythtv respectively. The integration is fairly flawless already and will only get better. Have you considered adding new home menu buttons for linux users? I have actually been scouring the internet for backgrounds for my "web" button without much luck. As of now "live tv" shares backgrounds with Tv. It might be a little early to add linux specific features but i am sure you can agree the linux port is phenomenal already. Cheers.

I've found what causes the bug. Its switching the settings (up) menu off. If I switch the settings menu back on the homepage the backgrounds start changing as expected. Hopefully it should be an easy fix.

Thanks.

I also noticed stacking was missing. I guess we waite untill Alpha8? Or is this easy to add manually to Xephyr?


@djh_
I bought a 120cm (47") LCD-HD-TV and I just love this skin. Good work man! Keep it up!


- manturafs - 2008-01-06

another small thing is that the context menu isn't fully functional when in library mode for music. from my testing, the other views have this menu just fine.

great skin and keep up the good work!
