this is fixed in the new version

looks promising. it starts fine but i don't get any texts displayed. and i did copy the supplied strings.xml to my box tho i renamed the folder to english2 just so i could keep the original. so with no txts theres nothing to do. second thing: is it usable with dvd remote? third: i can't seem to exit the script once its started? but maybe that is due to that i don't see any text?
and last the images are they downloaded from somewhere? if so it's kinda hard to control the alpha channels. if not, i know all about transparent gifs and gif anims on xbmc so i can help out with that.

hmm thats bizar that it doesnt display texts. do you see images drawn over the text? cant you see any texts? did you try to run the script from scripts?
Quote:second thing: is it usable with dvd remote?
the dvd remote acts a little weird. when i press a key the script ends. it seems that the remote sends more than one buttonpress that causes the script to exit. i'm working on it.  it is better to control it with the controller atm.
Quote:third: i can't seem to exit the script once its started?
you can exit using the black button. or menu on remote.

the images are downloaded and stored on hdd. it should be possible to detect the alpha channels with some coding so i have the right colorkey

i don't seem to have any texts @ll. the images are there. when i go right with dvd-remote button images dissapear and there are no texts 'under' the gfx. navigation worx so the script seems to run fine.

i don't usually have my gamepad connected. maybe i'll wait or maybe i'll connect one.  Image

exiting don't work with 'menu' on remote or 'black' on gamepad (for me). have to shut down xbox to reset.

re alpha channels: coding? now you lost me Image

it loads fine and shows all the listings, but i cannot get it to play any music. when i click on a song, it loads the next page, but i hear nothing...

the first page says database offline. does this have something to do with it?

i found out that this texts missing is a skin issue (i had it too with blackblue). try mediacenter.

btw. strings.xml is not nececerely needed. you need it when you want a menuitem on your homescreen. so you don't need it when you do not update the skins home.xml

i hope this is clear.

texts not showing is a skin issue, try mediacenter. i fixed the dvdremote. now images dont disappear anymore.

you can exit with menu now i hope. it works on my xbox.

maybe you can look at the alpha channels. i'm sorry for making you so confused. Image forget about the coding.

i posted a bugreport on this too:

maybe you are willing to look at it?

thanks

been playing around with this for most of the afternoon and it's just fantastic. only problems i've been having seem mostly to come from the design of the webradio2 service having too many streams that are poorly organized.

looking around at the various kml resourses online it seems like it would be reasonably easy and straight forward to add some additional features. specifically, to address the issues i was having it would be great to have a way to store and access favorite stations.

the way i'd conceive of implementing this would be to alter the browser such that it inserts an additional button when displaying a specific stream's information from webradio. this would allow for a stream's information to then be added to a local text file. from the text file it should be possible to create an asp page that could be served from the built in web server to create a dynamic kml results from the favorites text file that could be displayed via the browser. this can then all be tied together nicely with a simple start page pointing to both the favorites page and the standard webradio source.

why is it that i cannot hear anything play though this?

is there some setting i have to do or something? it says database offline on the menu page, does that have something to do with it?
