Yup, sure is. The other selectors work such as the Halloween and Christmas (snow) work as advertised. Just the silly independence one isn't showing the fireworks...

Not sure what could have been done wrong... Imma give it another install..

EDIT:

No such luck. I downloaded from your thread as well as downloaded from MQ's ... dumped MQ's data into my download folder. Dumped your data into MQ's folder (replacing everything in there and adding the extra)... WinSCP over to my Libreelec system (deleted old MQ folder) Reinstalled combined information. Reboot..

:SadFace:

I've never messed with LibreELEC...not sure how that works. Has anyone else installed this on LibreELEC with success?

Hi Latts,

I have the same issue and did exactly what you said but I'm still not seeing the fireworks. Am I missing anything?

Thanks

If you have the new files copied you have the same code that I do.

I forgot to mention on the fireworks that there is a slight delay of about 10 seconds before the fireworks start showing on the screen once you activate them.

Thank you for a fast response but I tried everything and still didn't work. When you said "activate them", do you mean select both in the themes and holidays settings or somewhere else?

I just meant to have Independence Day enabled in the Holiday Settings. You can have the fireworks running on any theme.

I found out what was the problem. I'm using MQ7 Spin Mod. In the Home.xml of your mod, the <control type = "group"> for Independence is missing. After modified the file, I can finally see the fireworks and everything is working great now. Just want to let you know so you can update the Multi-Mod for MQ7 and MQ7 Spin.

Thank you very much for your hard work of creating this wonderful mod.

Well, crap! You're right...I forgot to update both downloads with the new Home.xml file.

OK, so Drazzilb and anyone else who is having trouble, you can fix it by adding the following code to Home.xml...

find

Code:

<control type="group"><!-- Halloween -->
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(halloween)</visible>
<include>Halloween</include>
</control>

and paste this

Code:

<control type="group"><!-- Independence Day -->
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(independence_day)</visible>
<include>Independence_Day</include>
</control>

above it.

I have updated both downloads from the original post. Nice catch tad61...thanks!

Please latts can you advise again about resources.language file/folder change, if we want our skin on another language?

I know I have to select english (US) but lets say I want my skin in Portuguese (which already is) where and what do I need to change?

Hey djhifi,

I have reverted back to en_gb as the language file since that is the default language that KODI uses. If you are using "English US" as your language, you will need to change back to "English". If you want to use Portuguese as your language, you can copy all my code from the bottom of the strings.po file to the Portuguese file and you should be good to go.

I prefer to stay with English US, so can I infer from the above that I just need to copy all your code from the bottom of the strings.po file to the English US file to make it work? Any chance that you would be willing to include the English US language file in your multimod since it's already done....just for us English US fans... ; - )

I think the only difference between the en_gb and en_us file was one "Independence Day" message added to en_gb. Sure, I can include the en_us file...no problem.

Awesome! Thanks again for this multi-mod...it has literally saved me hours.

Man, I seem to be being a pain in the as...

However, The fireworks are working now... YAAAAY...

BUUUUUUT.. The fireworks themselves don't seem to have any transparency... They go up and block off the whole area behind them.

Any suggestions?

I was afraid of that. I haven't tested this on my FireTV, but I've seen in the past that Android systems do not display animated gifs with transparency very well. You always see a black background instead of the transparency. I need to see if there's a way to fix this on Android.

Okay. didn't know that different systems would have that issue... Yeah, I've had issues with certain gifs in the past, especially with background gifs. As I said before I run on LibreELEC system. Not sure how different that is to an Android system.

When you say "bottom" what "bottom" is it? I thought I needed to copy all the content from inside strings.po in your language file and paste it on the other strings.po (on the resources folder in the addon folder)

Cause on one machine I have it set to Portuguese with all your mods and hard work and no problems occur. But on the other machine there is some text missing.

Btw awesome work!
