I have been getting my skin mod ready for the release of 10.05 and have found that since sshcs windows build 29126 that XBMC can not longer find any of my customXX.xml files.
The debug log shows the following error when I try to access the custom window :- 'ERROR: Unable to locate window with id 50. Check skin files'.
I have tried changing the window id from 50 to 1150 with no success. The current file name is :- 'custom50_System.xml', but have tried naming the file the same way than PM3.HD and Confluence do with no change in behaviour.
Now I'm pretty sure it's probably the developers tightening up things, but I can't seem to see anything in the change log to suggest what the problem is.
What changed since after build 28988 that broke my skin? And what do I need to do to fix things?

If required a FULL debug log can now be submitted from the skin in settings->skin settings->support. Or follow instructions
here if you can't access skin settings.

My skin, Confluence and T! are all using some sort of customXX.xml files. Those 3 seem fine for me at least...I tried a SVN about a month ago, ugh way too much breakage, so far 29717 seems very good. Definitely good enough to start laying down some 'base' work for the merge.

@wyrm: There was a short period (which may be a couple hundred commits given our development speed) where customXX.xml files weren't loading. Check something really recent to see whether it works there before spending too much time on it.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Check you have actually specified the id in the XML files.

I gave this a solid 30-45min, couldn't figure it out....
1. I can get to settings by changing:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(50)</onclick>
to
<onclick>ActivateWindow(settings)</onclick>
2. Can't for the life of me get into any customXX.xml. I tried:
1. The button definably works, changing it to open MyVideoNav works..
2. It's not a PAL structure problem, backrow skin works
3. Even putting confluence's custom_SkinSetting_1111.xml didn't work, even though the textures and whatnot aren't there is should activate?
I'm not that familiar with the PAL folder structure but comparing it to Backrow, which works, they both seem the same and both using id=56 for skin settings...

It may be due to the fallback stuff perhaps - what are the <defaultresolution> and <defaultresolutionwide> set to?

also thought i take a shot at it, if i set <defaultresolution> and <defaultresolutionwide> to 720p
and move all xml files to the 720p folder, things work fine again.
no idea why though.

Hi guys - not sure if it's related but I've noticed with the newer builds that <defaultresolutionwide> in skin settings doesn't seem to be working right for me.
In Back-Row everything is being read from the PAL folder instead of the PAL16X9 folder (which is what's I have specified for widescreen).
If I put the files in the 720p folder it will read from there even though 720p isn't specified in <defaultresolutionwide> but like I say not from the PAL16X9 - it seems to be defaulting to the 720p folder - as ronie has observed.
