Modified Confluence results in blank menus - powlo - 2013-10-15

Hi,

I created a modified version of Confluence to support Weather.MetOffice.

If I create a symbolic link from ~/.xbmc/addons/ to the addon in my local workspace then it works.

If I simulate a user, and get it from my repository then it doesn't work. The Home page menu bar has button entries, but the text on those buttons is invisible. Fumbling around I can get into Settings. There I can see that most Menus are visible, but some are not. Namely "Live TV"

Here's a picture: http://tinypic.com/r/358w0vb/5

Here's a log file: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=70079

My repo is here: https://vault-powlo.googlecode.com/git/download/repository.powlo/repository.powlo-0.0.7.zip

Looking through the log file, this might mean something, but I don't know what:

Code:
19:03:38 T:140673591170944   ERROR: unable to load special://xbmc/language/original/langinfo.xml: Failed to open file at line 0

There's also a possible error in MyWeather.xml:

Code:
ERROR: Error evaluating boolean expression !IsEmpty($INFO[Window.Property(Regional.Period6.Title)])

But as far as I can tell the expression is valid. This error occurs after Home has loaded.

Code:
!IsEmpty(Window.Property(Regional.Period6.Title))

the language folder in your skin is empty.

Thanks, that fixes the error for the weather, but the main problem still exists.

Not as far as I can tell. The new skin was a straight copy of the old one. A diff between directories shows only the xbmc.gui assignment (in addon.xml) is different, and the version number is different.
Ie

Code:
<   id="skin.confluence"
<   version="2.2.0"
<   name="Confluence"
---
>   id="skin.confluence-metoffice"
>   version="2.1.8"
>   name="Confluence Metoffice"
8c8
<     <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.0.0"/>
---
>     <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="4.0.0"/>

The version number shouldn't matter since this should appear as a wholly new skin. Changing the xbmc.gui version to 5.0.0 has no effect. I'm not sure what this might achieve anyway.

i can tell and so can you ;-)

just download the skin zipfile you're providing and check the language folder.

Poop. You're right. Must recursive diff.
