Just inject them all into an XPR and be done with it.

Sorry for my ignorance of xpr, but I never heard about that. How can I create an xpr file? Is this a kind of archive?

[AaronD]

Yes, its a type of archive.

I downloaded XPR Express 1.0.1 from http://blackbolt.x-scene.com/index.php?p=tools

Tried extracting Textures.xpr from PM3.HD - but the files are also named all lower case like in Aeon.

I tried compressing the Aron media directory into an xpr, but the program hit an error trying to write out the XPR. As expected, using that XPR caused XBMC to crash.

Any other ideas? Anyone know if the other skins that display correctly in Linux don't use Textures.xpr?

[iddqd]

Hmmm... don't have a windows at hand. Think I have to wait until this will be fixed.

I can't even get the damn thing to output an xpr here. :p
But a windows solution on linux isn't really reasonable to begin with.

[AaronD]

I don't think its really a Windows solution, if XPR Express actually worked. The Textures.xpr must be platform agnostic, since all the skins that use it work on all platforms.

Must be the size of Aeon's media dir - XPR Express probably loses the plot over such a large folder size ?!?

Can anyone look in the code and tell me what the correct name case is so I can test out this theory?

[jmarshall]

Use XBMCTex.

We don't support third party utilities for stuff like this.

I only tried to pack the png files in question, the other files in the media folder aren't necessary as xbmc will grab them from there once there are no overrides left in the xpr.

[AaronD]

OK, that worked.

I added only the files starting with "default" in the main media folder to Textures.xpr. I used XPR Express, because I'm not sure how to build xbmctex. You can download my Textures.xpr below.

Copy this into your media folder, and delete any png files starting with "default". Worked for me both in Windows and Linux.

Not the perfect solution - ideally DJH_ would fix properly in his skin.

[hikaricore]

Teamwork ftw! Thanks :p Gonna test this out right quick.


*edit* seems to work fine. skin looks much better now lol.

[iddqd]

Yep... it works! Thanks

I renamed the files in question according to http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Thumbnai...rary_Nodes to make it work under linux.

[AaronD]

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this article. DJH, could you please rename your files so the skin works properly under Linux? This way we won't have to rename the files every time we grab a new version.

[motyR]

if u'r looking for linux precompiled XBMCTex, i can share mine.

cheers

Post the existing file references and the desired ones and I'll look into it.

Did the OP ever give you the info you needed?
This bug is still alive even in the git release. >.<

Not a huge deal but still kinda kills the look of things.

Based on the wiki: http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Thumbnai...rary_Nodes The problem lies with the case of your filenames.
Windows being case insensitive wouldn't have this issue but on Linux defaultactorbig.png and DefaultActorBig.png are not the same file.
