Hi there, I'm kinda late to the party here, but would just like to add this is a fantastic skin and thanks for all your efforts. I realise you maybe onto new things, but on the latest Gotham RC, I've somehow managed to lose the Pictures panel/widget. I've gone round in circles trying to fix it (tried a reinstall twice). A bit like the bug in post #3 in the thread.

I recently upgraded to Gotham using OpenElec Beta 7. I have having problems playing DVD files from my server now. It only occurs when using Xperience1080++ though.
Here is my XBMC setup.
OpenElec Gotham beta 7 installed over a previous OpenElec Frodo installation
Old HP SFF AMD socket 939 3500+ processor with Nvidia/ASUS GT610 video card
My server setup:
HP Proliant MicroServer
Windows Server 2011
MediaBrowser 3 server - although set up on the server, I have not installed the XBMB3 client scripts on my XBMC/TV box. The problem occurs regardless of whether the MB3 server is running or not.
Movies are stored on a disk shared with SAMBA. One movie per directory. DVDs are stored under VIDEO_TS directory within movie directory
When I play a mkv file on XMBC, everything works fine, regardless of the skin.
When I play a DVD, stored as VIDEO_TS files on the server, with Confluence as the skin, the DVD plays fine.
When switch to xperience1080++ , and try to play the same DVD, it hangs. The screen changes from the DVD info screen to the Movie Wall, and the red busy indicator appears. The DVD does not play, or show the DVD menu. My IR dongle LED still flashes when I press buttons on the remote. The only button that seems to work is the Power button which will bring up the power menu.
If I leave the XBMC box alone for a long time, perhaps 10 minutes or more, the DVD will eventually play and show the DVD menu. I am too impatient to see if this happen every time. Using Confluence, a DVD will start in about 5 seconds or less.
I previously had the Video Extras add-on installed, but I could never get it to work. Uninstalling it did not change anything.
I have never installed PLEX or MB3 client add-ons on the XBMC box. Is xperience1080++ dependent on these now?
What else should I try?
Thanks for your help.

love this mod of xperience 1080 skin its the best one yet , it just needs a few tweaks , could you perhaps enable all the views for files mode as well id love that , since my advanced launcher only got a couple of views and i only get list view for my duplicate advanced launcher addon that i use for comics,not good , id appreciate it , btw is it just me or have you removed the rounded edges from the video wall view since the covers show with pointy edges instead of
rounded edges and the watched overlay is missing as well from viewtypes wich wasnt so in crnis xperience1080+ mod , and theres another issue with your video wall view that being that the resolution and audio codecs overlapping while browsing through my movie folders , weird thing is when i access a movie folder once im in the movie folder itself it doesnt overlap but then it doesnt show the release date information on the right only an NA , if that could be fixed
back to how it was id as well would like that , one more question is there a possibility to have the fanart show in the background when i access a anime folder wich is a anime folder that contains all my animes each in theyre own named folder containing either episodes or movies or ovas, wich is set as anime source in files mode and then added as favourite shortcut to the main menu , the source is set to scan as tvshow on
anidb yes this works for movies and ovas as well , since ive noticed when i select show fanart in the skin options , it will show the anime fanart for a sec when i access an anime tvshow in files mode and then it switches to the default leaf background as soon as im in the
folder that contains the episodes , i mainly use files mode its simply the best and allows for actual removal of watched files when youre finished with them as well does it not represent false tvshow numbers , same goes for movies , not a big fan of library crap mode, while im mentioning the counter for movies and tvshows , is there a way to reroute the counter to use the files mode instead of the library mode , like a counter for every favourite you add to the main menu like one for your games , tvshow folders , movie folders , comics , pictures and so on , and maybe be able to set what extensions the counter counts , that would be epic

I have attempted to install this skin on Gotham but it says broken or dependencies not met. Is there a place where I can download it manually?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure the author of this mod stated that he'll no longer be updating it, unless `Black releases a full Xperience1080 Gotham skin at which point this mod might be revisited.

Yes guys Piers is correct. I just do not have the motivation for this skin at the moment and would LOVE for someone to take over. PM me if you are interested.
