Hi Sharpe,

I know you're not adding anything to the SVN right now, but when you do...a little request for the last.fm artist slideshow. I asked in Ronie's release thread about having multiple generic pics for times when there are no last.fm images available:

Ronie Wrote:yup, the skin can specify a fallback image or a folder of images. no problem.

So is there any chance this could be changed to a folder into which we can stick our extra generic music pics? (Wouldn't have to be a user configurable option in the skin - the folder could just have the one image in it unless the user adds more in manually). Or if you want to add the ones I use for all users, here they are : http://imageshack.us/g/803/colorofmusic.jpg/

Thanks Smile

No worries - so you want a folder rather than the current fallback image - sure I can do that. (Be in about a week though - I'm going to be out of town for a while).

Any new features you guys (dj and sharpe) planning to incorporate in the skin?


- Sharpe - 2011-08-13

Oh yeah there will be some new stuff coming (including some of your recent suggestions) just need a bit of free time. Shouldn't be long.

Thanks for the reply.

I have disbaled curtain background from the skin settings - general. But the red curtain is not going and the background images for the Main Menu are not coming.

After i checked the "Disable curtain backround", i restarted XBMC with Backrow but the red curtain stays on, although the "Disable curtain backround" is checked as before.

Please suggest what is going wrong or what should I do?

Using Xbmc nightlies and Backrow SVN (updated to 3.4.0)

Yeah it's a bit misleading I suppose -the disable curtain background option disables the curtain image from the library and file menus - if you want to use different home screen wallpapers then select "use multiple home wallpapers".

I checked "use multiple home wallpapers", and it worked. Thanks

Found a bug. Add-ons don't work when you launch them from the home menu unless you exit out and launch them a second time. Using latest nightly on ATV2.

Any suggestions?

Can you give me an example of one that's misbehaving and how you've set up the shortcut - and I'll look into it.

Cheers

Here's a video demonstrating my problem:

Nicely done - ok I see the problem and can replicate it. I'll see what I can do over the weekend. It would be interesting to know if the same bug happens on other skins that use the same favourites method of adding home short cuts.

Metropolis is exhibiting the same behaviour but quartz is working fine.:confused2:

Also, in a future release, is it possible to add a viewtype that's low on resources similar to this Nod http://imageshack.us/f/821/screenshot005he.jpg/

The current ones are kind of slow even though the theme itself is very fast on ATV2 (especially when using the simplified home menu).

Ok I think I've fixed this one - the fix is in the svn. let me know if it works.

Also I'll check out that view and see what I can do.


#Edit nah it's not fixed I'm still working on it - it's hard to pin down as it works first time quite often.
