@capfuturo, yes script videoextras, in latest release 0.0.8 use new window for show info, it´s necessary fix in skin, for work again.

When have news about, I will post here.

Wrong. If the addon has its own window, the creator it must include the textures needed to work on any skin, otherwise it will only work in Confluence.

The skin may have its own window, but this is optional.

Hi All,

capfuturo has requested I comment on this (request in the VideoExtras Forum Post).

I have indeed added a window to the VideoExtras add-on to display more information about the extras. I know very little about skinning and controlling windows - so it has taken a surprising amount of time to get it working! (I originally tried to use a standard XBMC window and over-load the data - but this just didn't work - may be an error on my part).

I have coded this to the default Confluence skin - which seemed to make sense (There are no custom images - just the default XBMC ones as far as I am aware). However I did test it against other skins, and yes it doesn't display correctly in all skins. With there being 20 or so different skins out there, it isn't really possible for me to learn the ins and outs of all the different skins and implement different versions for each skin.

I did test the water by posting on the Aoen Nox forum section to see if anyone with the skinning knowledge of the given skin would be willing to help and supply a "mapping" of the window.xml file:

No replies yet, but only a couple of days old.

I would obviously prefer to have versions of the advanced screen for all skins, but there is a fallback if they are not available and do not work. Users can switch the display list to a simple dialog listing which will not show resume of watched flags. (Which is most probably what I will recommend at the moment for non Confluence users).

It may even be the case that my existing window.xml file has stacks of errors in, and correcting those errors would result in it working on all skins - but I just don't have the knowledge or experience in that area.

All that said - if anyone is interested or willing to help and supply a mapping of the file (For any skin) - I would be very happy to include it in the VideoExtras plugin.

Hope this helps, Rob
