I have added a lock toggle in the general skin settings for the panel that has the options to change the view, etc, etc to the skin now. Note that this will also not let you use the other buttons that go with it as well like the library mode buttons, slideshow, etc, etc.

This may be a generakl XBMC question so if it is please excuse me.... Is there a way to make make the folders ignore "the" in the display I.E. "The Beatles", "The Battles", "The Knife", "The Flaming Lips", "The White Stripes" etc, etc.... in music so they would just be listed in Alpha order without the included, this is in files view...

Thanks!

Any Updates on the coverflow view for music?

You will be my favorite man/woman/hermaphrodite when that is completed!

To all looking for a solution to show 'TV Shows' label and logo in the upper right when using a hardcoded TV Shows link, I have figured out a solution. It's not the prettiest hack in the world, but it works for me. Just edit your Home.xml and MyVideo.xml to the following:

Home.xml:

<item>
    <icon>icon-video.png</icon>
    <thumb>icon-video-blur1.png</thumb>
   <include>10001</include>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(tv-view)</onclick>
   <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoFiles,PATH-TO-MOVIES)</onclick>
   <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(movie-library)</visible>
</item>
<item>
    <icon>icon-video.png</icon>
    <thumb>icon-video-blur1.png</thumb>
   <include>10001</include>
   <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,MovieTitles)</onclick>
   <visible>Skin.HasSetting(movie-library)</visible>
</item>
<item>
    <icon>icon-tv.png</icon>
    <thumb>icon-tv-blur1.png</thumb>
   <include>10010</include>
   <onclick>Skin.SetBool(tv-view)</onclick>
   <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,PATH-TO-TV-SHOWS)</onclick>
   <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(tv-library)</visible>
</item>

MyVideo.xml:

<control type="image">
   <description>Videos Logo</description>
   <include>icon-header-commons</include>
   <include>icon-ani</include>
   <texture>icon-video.png</texture>
   <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(tv-view)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
   <description>Videos Logo Reflection</description>
   <include>icon-header-reflect-commons</include>
   <include>icon-reflection-ani</include>
   <texture flipy="true" diffuse="fade.png">icon-video.png</texture>
   <visible>Window.Next(Home) + !Skin.HasSetting(tv-view)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
   <description>TV Logo</description>
   <include>icon-header-commons</include>
   <include>icon-ani</include>
   <texture>icon-tv.png</texture>
   <visible>Skin.HasSetting(tv-view)</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
   <description>TV Logo Reflection</description>
   <include>icon-header-reflect-commons</include>
   <include>icon-reflection-ani</include>
   <texture flipy="true" diffuse="fade.png">icon-tv.png</texture>
   <visible>Window.Next(Home) + Skin.HasSetting(tv-view)</visible>
</control>
<control type="label">
   <description>Video Label</description>
   <posx>535</posx>
   <posy>40</posy>
   <include>10001</include>
   <font>font20</font>
   <style>bold</style>
   <textcolor>button-text</textcolor>
   <include>list-fade</include>
   <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(tv-view)</visible>
</control>
<control type="label">
   <description>TV Shows Label</description>
   <posx>535</posx>
   <posy>40</posy>
   <include>10010</include>
   <font>font20</font>
   <style>bold</style>
   <textcolor>button-text</textcolor>
   <include>list-fade</include>
   <visible>Skin.HasSetting(tv-view)</visible>
</control>

This worked for me, including icon animation.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Just wanted to say thanks to CHI3F for the awesome skin!

Hey CHI3F, thanks for all the latest updates.

I just wanted to mention that there appears to be a small problem with the music coverflow view in 16x9. When scrolling to the right the central cover seems to jerk out of place for a split second rather than flowing smoothly into position. This glitch does not happen when scrolling to the left or in 4x3 mode.

Thanks again.

Is it possible I can download a large version of the "X" from the xTV logo (image) somewhere?

Basically I prefer the xTV logo greatly to the standard xbox logo that I get when I boot up my xbox and also at the evox screen. I just read about modding the skin in evox. So I'd like to add this logo.

Anywhere I might be able to download it?

You might want to check out the SVN, here are some quick links to the startup screen:

4x3 resolution
16x9 resolution

This is the link to the SVN:
https://xboxmediacen...ediacenter/xTV/

Martomo · « **Reply #1196 on:** October 23, 2007, 04:51:00 AM »

Here are some mirrored compiled builds of skin revision 960, if there is an update/newer version the builds will be updated as well:
http://blackmarket.i...et/files/skins/

For all the available skins, and latest version check out the SVN skin directory:
https://xboxmediacen...boxmediacenter/

If your not familiar with SVN, or how to use it check out this tutorial:
http://xboxbox451.go...ient_guide.html

Also I don't think they will change the name, it's been xTV for a while now, if you want to customize the skin you can edit the XML or files in the media folder, more information about this check here:
http://www.xboxmedia...e=Skinning_XBMC

Can someone add a link to a full skin package. Latest SVN Build only contains MayhemIII (obviously).
I can access the files individually on http://xboxmediacent...ediacenter/xTV/
but that is not a way to distribute this. Is it ?

You could try clicking the link in my signature to download the latest revision of the skin.

QUOTE(vanRossum @ Oct 23 2007, 06:54 AM)

May I suggest to start calling this "XBTV", or has "xTV" already become the standard ?

It will stay xTV

QUOTE(vanRossum @ Oct 23 2007, 06:54 AM)

Is it possible to change the color of the background ? My LCD TV has a problem finding
the correct zoom with all this black.
Yes, I can put it fixed on widescreen but than some older TV channels
and DVD need manual adoption :-(

There is an option to use a custom background in the skin settings. You can also change the video calibration in the xbmc appearence settings.

Careful with downloading just using IE. The connection is unstable.

I'm sorry that the server is kinda unstable at the moment, we've some issues at the moment, but it should be fixed soon (I hope).

QUOTE

Perhaps one could check the folder /media for xTV. Are we missing some *.xpr files ?
Why some version have /default and /white and other (latest) don't ?

When you download from the SVN, with a program like TortoiseSVN, you have to run BUILD.bat, to compile the build (that is when the *.XPR files are created from the image folders), the /default is for textures.xpr and /white for white.xpr, it varies per skin.

QUOTE

Let's hope that http://blackmarket.i...et/files/skins/ becomes an anchor for future updates.

We will try to keep the latest versions available, because some people can't run batch files from the SVN on their OS or some people just like it simple

Thanks Martomo,

for the help with the X images. However, I already hunted around the svn for ideal images. The ones you pointed out, I found them already, they're too small for what I'm doing really.

A while ago when this skin started, people were contributing images to create the graphics I believe.
So I thought it was possible that someone might have a PSD of this image somewhere?

If anyone can assist, appreciated.

cheers.
