I've had this update problem in windows for a while.  I tried to reproduce it on a fresh install.
I set up a new install - leia rc2 windows x64 portable on windows 7.
Installed confluence from repo, then installed xonfluence dependencies and xonfluence 4.0.2 (all from zips)
Installed Hellyrepo.
Tried to update to 4.0.5
4.0.5 is downloaded and unzipped into a folder in addons/temp/, but that's as far as it goes.  There's an 'installation failed' notification.
Log is here.
See around 10:31:03 for installation errors:

Quote:ERROR: XFILE::CFile::Rename - Error renaming file ...\addons\skin.xonfluence
ERROR: Failed to move old addon files from '...\addons\skin.xonfluence' to '...\addons\temp\583ab7e3-7f1e-4f85-9a26-65f26dffb393'

It's not a big deal for me (and I don't know if this is a general kodi issue), but I'm happy to test / debug further.    

 Thank Trogggy and others for the information.

I don't like to say, but I cannot help it. Downloading, copying, moving and unzipping files is a kodi thing. I don't test on Windows, therefore I don't have these issues. Maybe it has to do with permissions of your ..\addons\skin.xonfluence folder, but I don't know for sure.

I hope someone else can help you with this issue.

Helly.

Thanks again for your good work. However, the implementation on Xonfluence is exactly the same as on confluence and some other skins. So I don't know why Special Features is not launched. I cannot get special features to work on my skin. Can you check an other skin? Can you check the logfile?

(2018-12-15, 21:30)Helly1206 Wrote: About the flags, I think I know why they don't work. However I don't know how to fix it. I cannot get information from the addon whether a listitem has special features. No other skin uses this flag, so I cannot use that code. I think it is just not possible at the moment.

Just checked using Xonfluence - when movie folder contains "Extras" folder, the context menu displays SF option at bottom (using Media Info 3 view). When no "Extras" folder exists, no SF option in context menu list.

Is this helpful to determine whether or not to display the flag ?

I can get them to work on 'live tv' by hitting the 'T' key on my keyboard, otherwise I can not able to get the subtitle osd to come up, and while watching movies from my library, I am not able to get subtitles to work at all. Is there simple setting I am missing? thank you

Edit: In working through it, I did not have 'download first subtitle' active, and also went into accessibility and made active 'prefer subtitles for the hearing impaired' and it appears to be working.

 Good to read you made it working.

The only thing I can check is an extra property to a listitem, but the SF addon should add and set it. If this is possible at all. The previous (banned) addon did something by setting a label, which you can read in the skin.

 Thank you. Strange it subtitles have been funky on all three of the computers running xonfluence.

Unfortunately, my days of coding for mainframe computers are useless in dissecting the finer points of Kodi's construction. However, I can think through processes in a logical way, and my question is still unanswered: What tells the context menu to include SF in it's action list ?

A switch, flag, entry in the SF database - I dunno - but something already existing in "the system" causes that SF choice to appear in the context menu.

If you can query it, does that not solve the issue ?

OTOH, I have no idea how skins integrate with base Kodi, and what limitations may exist due to that interface scheme.

I have gone back to Confluence, my wife and I use subtitles a lot, and I could not get the subtitle osd to activate consistently. Thank you again

I thought you fixed it??!

I don't know what exactly doesn't work with your subtitles. I cannot reproduce and the code is exactly the same as in confluence. I'd like to help you and others that have the same issue, but I need more information (e.g. what does the log file show at that point) to solve it.

I was just wondering: Are there any plans to redesign/update the skin to match a more modern flat appearance?
I just love how the skin works in terms of navigation and item presentation. However i also find the new look of the default kodi skin quite appealing and by look i mean the graphical elements them self and the flat feel to it.
I also think a pure redesign in terms of graphics is all it really needs. I already love the functions and layouts in xonfluence just the way they are, just a graphic update would be awesome. So any plans so far?

Trill

• Dialog look and feel (already available on krypton, but updated and made a lot better for leia). You can select classic (default confluence look and feel) or modern (estuary alike look and feel).
  
• OSD look and feel. You can select classic (default confluence osd buttons), modern (modern round osd buttons) or max (modern square osd buttons).
  
• Button look and feel (how all selected and unselected buttons look). You can select classic (default confluence button look and feel), modern (modern look and feel with more contrast on buttons) or max (maximum contrast, estuary alike look and feel).
  
• Button layout look and feel (how button graphics look, e.g. radiobuttons). You can select classic (default confluence look and feel, e.g. radiobuttons look like LEDs) or modern (modern look and feel, e.g. radiobuttons look like a switch).
  
• Menu look and feel (how the main menu looks, already available on krypton). You can select classic (default confluence look and feel), graphics (only graphical menu buttons), graphics & focused text (graphical menu buttons, but text added to the menu button that is currently focused) or graphics & text (graphical and text for all menu buttons).
