There's an option in PVR for direct start - that's the way I use it.

I'm reworking dialogs at the moment, but work to complete PVR will resume soon.

One word: awesome!!!

thanks for this skin! - I'm looking forward to the photo library.

thedeadman · 2013-09-13, 12:19

Thanks Bozzza!

I just pushed an update to GIT - you might want to get a fresh download (initial thread post also updated with new imagery).

Photo library on its way. PVR needs attention first.

I don´t see any changes on git. Did you push it to the test branch?

Ha - my bad. Forgot to commit the merge. Done now.

Thanks

Will try it later today!

I am trying to figure out why XBMC refuses to load on my Pi when using this skin and Gotham, the logs does not provide much info.
Also why it breaks as soon as I try to modify home.xml (even if I change it back, this happens on OSX/Gotham as well).
Its like there is something invisible in some files which makes me believe that it might be some encoding issues, or it could be something in guisettings.xml.
Will play around some more when I have time.

I tried with updating strings.xml to strings.po (which works for its purpose, did not help my problem on Pi though), I sent a pull request on your git so you don´t need to convert this yourself (if you want of course).

Edit: Info in .po file might need to be edited, such as contact info etc. Forgot to check this properly.

thedeadman · (This post was last modified: 2013-09-14, 19:32 by thedeadman.)

Just tested on Gotham Alpha-7 (OSX) - no problems encountered.

I can't rule out an encoding issue, but it sounds unlikely. Other Pi users have not reported similar problems, but setups differ widely.

As for guisettings, try removing everything relating to the skin and rebooting (in particular, file paths - e.g. custom fanart locations). The skin doesn't do anything that other skins out there do with guisettings.

Could be a permissions issue? Problems would certainly occur if guisettings was read / write protected.

Thanks for the GIT pull on strings - I'll pull it through for the next update.

Hey,
Hope you can bare with me, trying to figure this out. Wink

I have got it running (not as it should though) and noticed some stuff.
Did not pull request on git, if you want I can do that.

First, the following change in addon.xml actually enabled entering skin settings:

Code:
<addon id="skin.maximinimalism" version="0.1.2" name="Maximinimalism" provider-name="theDeadman">

    <requires>

        <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="4.0.0"/>

    </requires>

    <extension

        point="xbmc.gui.skin"

        defaultthemename="Textures.xbt"

        debugging="false"

        <res width="1920" height="1080" aspect="16:9" default="true" folder="1080i" />

    </extension>

    <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

        <summary>A skin for XBMC from theDeadman</summary>

        <description>Sometimes less is more.</description>

        <platform>all</platform>

    </extension>

</addon>

I don´t know what did it or if the res settings is correct, but this enabled entering skin settings on all my platforms and Gotham (iOS, Pi and OSX).

Changed file name: DialogSeekbar -> DialogSeekBar (it did not load).

I also changed onload in startup as it is recommended, however I think that this is Gotham only:
<onfocus>ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow])</onfocus>

I also noticed that my text editor I used was not good on this skin so I used xcode which worked better (does not break skin). So encoding issue, yes, but from my part!

Last, to get XBMC to load on Pi and Gotham I had to disable <include>FanartSlide</include> in home.xml.
So I got it running on Pi (Gotham), but without fanartslide on home screen. It does load on OSX and Gotham though.

Is there a delay one can set, just to test? I could not find info on this.

Hey Miappa,

Getting there :-)

No need for the pull, i've made the changes already and will include in next release (shooting for weekend - dialogs mostly). Reviewing the Gotham addon.xml for Confluence, i've made a small adjustment to yours to include effect slowdown value and XML closure:

Code:
<addon id="skin.maximinimalism" version="0.1.3" name="Maximinimalism" provider-name="theDeadman">

    <requires>

        <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="4.0.0"/>

    </requires>

    <extension

        point="xbmc.gui.skin"

        defaultthemename="textures.xbt"

        debugging="false"

        effectslowdown="0.75">

        <res width="1920" height="1080" aspect="16:9" default="true" folder="1080i" />

    </extension>

    <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

        <summary>A skin for XBMC from theDeadman</summary>

        <description>Maximinimalism is a lightweight, clean and simple XBMC experience that is designed for maximum usability and minimum fuss.</description>

        <platform>all</platform>

    </extension>

</addon>

I suspect the problem with fanartSlides is because the path to the fanart was / could not be set... On OSX, XBMC doesn't care, but the Pi might well be more sensitive... Now you can get to skin settings, could you please try setting the movie fanart path, then restore <include>fanartSlides</include> to home and reload?

As for adding a delay, not sure what you mean?

Cheers!

Sorry, should have mentioned, I have already tried that, was thinking the same but no go.
I was thinking, perhaps one could add a delay before slideshow starts and see if XBMC loads.
I see in includes.xml that there are delays on the animations, but I was thinking of a delay of the actual <include>.

Will look some more and see if I can figure it out.

Edit: includes_animations.xml -> Includes_animations.xml (this one loaded though but gave a warning).
