I mant to ask, when I added TVCatchup manually I got a nice logo, but the second time I added it from the online database I didn't get one. Is there any way I can get it back?

Hmm, try removing it and re-adding it. Also, the logo is a url to the online image, so it is possible that it may not always show. I'm adding an option to do download logos in my TODO list. I removed and re-added TVCatchup just now. I had a logo before, it was there on the list when I added it, and it was there on the top of the forums view after. Not sure why it wasn't there for you.

If you could, try looking at the file .xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.forum.browser/forums/TT.forums.tvcatchup.com
and see if it has url:logo=http://i.imgur.com/NUpje.png

Oh, by the way, when you edit posts, I don't get notified of the changes, so I will probably not notice. I just by chance happened to be browsing through and noticed you edited your post

Cheers, for that. The logo line wasn't in the file, I've added it and I now get the logo in both the forum list and at the top of the forum. Thanks.

Hi ruuk,

the progress bar colour contrast is much better

The VW Vortex images are now all working great, thanks for that.

Boxee is a much better experience, I was able to log in, with green light, but it said "Messages 0\?" I also wasn't able to post, but I was able to download your google test picture.

All testing on windows. Sorry no log, battery on laptop died, now writing with phone.
Wasn't able to test all your update

loaded the xbmc4xbox forum from online database, then tried to use it, but it said error getting forum.The online database icon had disapeared when selecting from the online database, all other icons were there.

Windows xp and forum browser seem very good,no major issues I could see .I loaded xbmc on fresh,loaded your repo ,it pulled web viewer,and for the main ran really good, as good as linux .

The four main buttons on the main page ie massages change forum etc are still grey is that right ?

Is a search funtion possible to add ?

It gets the message counts from the parsed web page. The page only shows how many are unread, so that's why it's (0/?) because the total is unknown. This is to be consistent with the other forums ( as in (0/5) ) so that it is clear that it is talking about the unread count. The posting failure is somewhat expected, but thanks for the independent verification.
As for the better experience, the new method I'm using makes it much easier to grab more details, for instance, the posts now show lots of data.

xbmc4xbox appears to be down.

Cool

I'm not sure what your asking, but I did change the selected forum highlight so that it behaves like the buttons. It's focused/unfocused appearance is the same as the buttons so it is clear where focus is now.

Is a search funtion possible to add ?

Yes, eventually. Added to the TODO list

I understand the above now thanks, I was rushing testing as you know my battery was low .

I just skip eating and sleeping and spending time with my family. But don't worry, when my wife and child leave me, I'll blame you...

If I could make another request of "Todays new posts"?

I'll see what I can do. I did a quick look at the Tapatalk api and didn't see a way, but maybe I missed it.

How is your user guide coming along ?.

Well, I've started adding help in Forum Browser. I'm going to put help for each screen, but so far I've got help for the forums view, and the settings now have descriptions.

you know you love coding.......there's no time to waste.....maybe your wife and child could do some coding to help you free up some time to eat and sleep

Now that's a very good addition

the last couple of updates seem to be getting ever closer to the offial repo release
have you given much thought to the fanart for addon view and repo view,and a possible splash screen.
I will try your updates when im back from my holiday
Im struggling to get used to quoting with my android phone so sorry about the presentation of message.

On my REPO.

From now until main repo release I'm feature freezing development.
Please let me know of bugs or usability issues. You can request features, but I'll just add them to my long term list for now.
Presently I'll be working on cleaning up the code, optimizing some things and filling in the gaps of the forum interfaces so that things work as expected for each forum as best as possible.
Once that is done, some testing and then release.

[hasselhof]

Thanks ruuk. Looks like there's been a lot of bug crunching going on. Nice one.

[ruuk]

have you given much thought to the fanart for addon view and repo view,and a possible splash screen.

I have an idea about the fanart that incorporates some of the fanart you posted.

A splash screen is meant to show that a program is loading before the interface shows up. It's not really a useful thing for an XBMC addon because most of the initial load time is just python interpreter startup overhead, so the splash screen would just show up a half second before the addon.

On my REPO.

Bunch of 'under the hood' changes. I've been breaking a lot of things and fixing them again
Posting this version because of the posting bug and because it's at a fairly stable point.

[ruuk]

If I could make another request of "Todays new posts"?

I was sitting around playing with Tapatalk on my phone and noticed the latest threads tab (which has the most recently posted to threads). I could definitely add that. Of course, from that, I could then possibly get todays posts because they would be at the end of those threads. Of course that would take a lot of fetching.
It looks like in the future, tapatalk's api level 4 (it's level 3 on all forums now) search function might be able to to do it.

Most recently posted to threads will be great.
