But to know for sure, I would need to know if a) A previous version of the skin had this and b) when it worked/stopped working.. XBS did the majority of the porting of confluence lite to xbmc4xbox. you will probably find that on xbmc it is the same. however, if someone wants to post a patch for a wide icons view I would be happy to include it.

Maybe XBS can help further.
Well, I can definitely say that a previous version had it... but not sure where I got the previous version. I still have it though and was using it up until recently.

Looking at the wide icon view code...

Code: Select all

<visible>
[Container.Content(TVShows) + !Skin.HasSetting(TVShowsUsePosters)] + Container.Content(Files)
</visible>
Meaning you need to activate it in skin settings.

EDIT: Should be fixed in commit 31778

Code: Select all

<visible>
[Container.Content(TVShows) + !Skin.HasSetting(TVShowsUsePosters)] | Container.Content(Files)
</visible>

Please register on http://redmine.exotica.org.uk/projects/xbmc4xbox/ and submit a ticket with the changes. Ideally if you were to get an svn checkout of the repository, apply the translations and create a patch file that would be the best, but if not, providing an updated strings file would suffice. Thanks.

We are always looking for people to look after translations, and I am happy to give direct svn access to anyone who wants to keep their language files up to date.

Cheers.

Firstly sorry guys I don't have a debug log and am rushing around like a lunatic so don't have time to go and setup one of my xboxes to try and reproduce the error. Anyway here's the bug...

Last week I went around a mates house and sorted out his old xbmc4xbox install and updated to the latest from b4k3d pi (that would have been the 23rd June I downloaded the latest build - whatever one that was). Everything appears to be working sweet but when you add a plugin to the homescreen menu in confluence_lite there's a bit of a bug. Once you click on the plugin it fails to load so you have to manually go to video plugins> and open from there. Once you've done that it works fine from the homescreen but after a reboot it goes back to how it was again (not working).

Also there was a slight issue trying to get into the programs section, it was just a blank screen. I think I've seen this mentioned previously and thought it was already fixed. I managed to get in after some button pressing but initially it wouldn't work. If I get any spare time I'll try and reproduce the errors and post a log but am really busy at the moment so may take a while.

Anyway just thought I'd better bring it to your attention, it doesn't bother me as it's a mates xbox and he lives miles away!

Yeah those views are only available once you've scanned something into the library, I noticed this earlier when playing about with the latest nightly.

No fanart for programs?

Post by Koitsu »

If I have a game or emulator that I want to use, is there a way to display the fanart.jpg I have for the folder? They work fine if I go to the folders from Videos or Music.

sorry to dig up old thread, and this may have already been covered, but:

this skin isn't ok for 720p with most plugins. needs about another 3-4MB RAM free (try Slick or xTV-SAF or something).

i hadn't realised for a while, i'd assumed the defalt skin would be RAM efficient but if you watch debug mode you'll find there's a big spike when loading videos and this skin effectively causes lots of hangs, Slik in particular seems to do a better job getting out the way.

not sure if it's possible to reduce by 3-4MB with includes or whatever? otherwise this is a really nice port of Confluence mainline. thanks.

it is ram efficient - considering the amount of ram the xbox has. The problem is python needs ram. 720p screen res needs ram. Some plugins/scripts can be made more memory efficient, and you can reduce memory usage by disabling unneeded services, and make sure you don't have "full codec support enabled".

and you can switch to a skin with much smaller textures like pm3 and save a few more mb.
