10 days ago is too old and why I recommended the official nightlie build from 21/2/11.

Hi Hitcher

Just wanted to register and say thanks for the great work you've done. I've been on sick leave for the last week and I've spent my time setting up XBMC and your skin. Still got a bit to go before I'm totally satisfised (haven't figured out how to enable the lyrics button etc), but browsing these forums is of big help. I noticed that the newest version enables custom items on the main menu, which I loved! As others have noted though, my images for each category was missing, so I reverted back to an older version. Hope to see the new version working soon. Again, thanks for all your effort put into this skin!


- Hitcher - 2011-02-24

You need this version of XBMC to be able to use the new home style.

Lyrics will work 'out of the box' unless you want to use a different lyric script than the default in which case simply set it in Alaska's settings.


- dillinger - 2011-02-24

Thank you, the menu works perfectly now. My problem with the lyrics is that I cannot find the button itself. From what I understand a lyrics button is supposed to show up in the OSD, like subtitles do for movies (subtitles work by the way). But when I start a song and press "M" I still just get the regular buttons. I've tried using two different lyrics scripts. I'm sure I'm missing something VERY basic...

I use xbmc-live on a small acer aspire revo. To use the new Alaska is there a repository that is this up to date? Or should i compile xbmc from source and install?

Press ENTER when in the visualisation screen.

How do i turn auto update off? I looked but couldn't find the setting in time, now I have no icons Undecided

I will reinstall the previous version, but want to disable auto-update

Hi Hitcher,

Apologies if this has been asked before, but here I go anyway! I've been running XBMC for a few weeks and have been using Alaska Revisited (which is awesome btw). Twice now I've had a problem where the skin has returned to Confluence with no intervention and also the repository added from the zip file has also disappeared. Have you got any ideas?

I should add that I'm using Windows 7 with Dharma release. The first time it happened to coincide with me connecting via VNC, however this time I was not using VNC at all.

Thanks

Paul


Enabling Custom Item.... - Chubster - 2011-02-24

Hi....I am trying to add Iplayer as a custom item to my home menu. I have it working but the Iplayer Image isnt showing on Home page so not sure I am doing it totally correct.

What I did.

Enable Custom Item
Select Add on
Get More - Iplayer
Then selected Iplayer from the Media Sources List

It then asks for Name, fair enough - Typed Iplayer, then image. Obviously because I dont have one then "No Thumbnail" is being shown

Realise if I download the image then all will probably work but is the way I have done it "correct"

I would assume I would just choose IPlayer and it (XBMC) would do the rest

Should Iplayer be a "favourite" Huh

I believe this is because XBMC is auto updating...each update wipes the skin

You can Press left/right or up/down when in Add-Ons Screen to get to the screen to turn this off

Goto Addons screen in settings then press left arrow key. You should now see options to turn auto update off

Sorted it by browsing home folder...

I REALLY do love this theme. Cheers Hitcher !
