maybe? I'm not sure what flags it as 'broken'. On my win7 and atv2 it just updates normally, not indication of 'broken'.

I read the first page of this topic & followed Stoli & XBMC's instructions on Passion Repo.

I'm using Windows XP. I got a nightly build last night & installed Passion on it. 'Neon' skin was not listed as "Broken" for me. I have it installed right now without any trouble.

P.S. - If I could piggy-back on this topic & ask a related question: Is there a way to automatically update the XBMC nightly build itself?

Hmm, well I sent a PM to PPIC, so hopefully he can shed some light.

In the meantime, I deleted the passion repo, deleted the neon svn skin, restarted and turned on debugging. I then reinstalled the repo and attempted to install the skin to no avail. I then downloaded the skin from the passion website and tried to install it via 'install from zip' within xbmc to no avail.

When I checked the debug log for the second install attempt I get an error as follows:

It looks like the skin is reporting that it doesn't have the latest gui version. Is there something that I can do to fix this?

::EDIT:: Here is the full log for reference:

just for giggles, open up the addon.xml in the skin.confluence folder and see what gui version it is expecting... Should also be 3.0

[feerlessleadr]

surprisingly, it only requires 2.11

[stoli]

you're not running a nightly of xbmc it sounds like then....

Try this: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/...master.exe

[feerlessleadr]

that is really strange, i was using the windows automatic update client, which was supposed to give me nightlies. Since I upgraded to the 'official' nightlies, I am able to install this skin via zip file (didn't try the repo)

Unfortunately, I've run into a mysq db error that I can't fix, which I posted here

I'm not using mysql, but I know that many are, so hopefully someone can help you out.

Hey Stoli,

Just wanted to say I love the skin, but when i run it on my ATV2 there seems to be quite a bit of lag when switching between menus. I don't know if anything can be done to fix it.

Thanks again and keep up the great work

I have an atv2 as well and until there is an official release of the ios builds, I'm not going to spend much time trying to tweak it - and I'm not sure there is even much that could be done.
