Thanks for the help guys.

Got it working. And now have a nice new svn to play with too!

jarod71 · 2007-01-03, 23:15

can someone do a writeup on svn so i can figure out how to compile this thing.

jmarshall · 2007-01-03, 23:35

jarod71:

Download TortoiseSVN.

Create a folder somewhere. Right click -> SVN Checkout.

Type in the URL of the repository:

https://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge....r/Clearity

That should be about it. You can go to http://xboxmediacenter.sourceforge.net if I screwed up the URL.

Once it's done, run the .bat file and copy to your xbox/XBMC_PC.

Awesome Job man! Thanx!

jarod71 · 2007-01-04, 04:03

thank you.

jarod71 · 2007-01-04, 07:28

it is beautiful. what can we use all the extra space for in the main menu screen? also, how do i show the cd cover that looks like a jewel case? is that just the icon? and how do i bring up that info on the screen? all i can bring up is the media controls.

It has great promise. i like what i see and didnt catch any errors other than what was stated already. I only played with it for a few minutes however. looking forward to optimizing this skin and my thumbnails to go along with it.

First of all - GREAT JOB! - looks quite promising!

Next to things already report I noticed in the Video Screen that the titles are overlapping.

I am running XBMC newest official built at 1080i on a Sony KDF-50 HDTV

This is how I see it:

Hey guys..

I installed tortoiseSVN and rebooted, then followed the directions in this thread.
I created a local folder (a couple different ones, actually), then right clicked on it, chose 'svn checkout' and entered the url (ensuring the url was correct by bringing it up in my browser), but I get the following..

Error: PROPFIND request failed on '/viewvc/xboxmediacenter/Clearity'
Error: PROPFIND of '/viewvc/xboxmediacenter/Clearity': 301 Moved (https://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge.net)

ps - it doesn't matter if I use https or http, I get the same error...

help an SVN newb?
thanks

Oooh woot woot woot - just noticed - the skin has a custom background feature - now THAT is freakin' awesome!

And here we go we a feature suggestion ;-)

I really love the custom background! If you it can be done for future updates it would be great if we could have a different custom background for all the main sections ( videos, pictures, music, weather, programs )

Best regards!

congrats on the release of this skin, it's much more awesome than PDM, which was already extremely good work. Assuming you keep this relatively up to date it'll become the skin I use for everything Smile

Will try to give it a thorough testing and report back any bugs I encounter, running an SVN build from 2300 PST January 3rd 2007.

Will also attempt to post a n00b-friendly explanation on the backgrounds once I figure out how you're using the feature.

first bug: the time display in the top-right corner of the screen and the text in the top left of the screen slightly overlap the tabs inside the Settings windows. This may be by design, but it looks slightly weird, especially since there's a ton of empty space underneath the window where it could have been scooted down to make it all fit with no overlapping.

Second bug: In Skin Options, once you click the Enable Custom Background button, there's apparently a non-working text label at the bottom-left corner of the window which is in the same position as the current path display. It displays "Xbox Media Center SVN", which is usually caused by an incorrect Info text label being asked for. Been a while since I did a lot of skin coding, so can't remember exactly how you cause this.

This is under NTSC 4x3.

Also, I second the request for per-section backgrounds, though I realize how much more complicated this makes the code, as I implemented this in my Remix skin project.

Currently, to use the custom backgrounds you simply go to Slom Settings, click Enable Custom Background, and then select a directory where you have a bunch of images you want to display in the background. Then the skin will display those images as a slideshow underneath everything else in the skin.

SleepyP · 2007-01-04, 10:17

not SLOM settings, Skin Settings.. sorry!

-In the Edit Source dialogs, the title text is displayed slightly too low, and there is no keyboard accessible, so no way to type in or edit pre-existing bookmarks! Sad

-with custom backgrounds AND visualizations going, its very hard to see the GUI on the Home screen on my crap TV. Would increasing the opacity of that layer a bit help? Also, I get really bad framerates, which lead me to the next bug

-There is no way to disable custom backgrounds once you turn them on.

-the numerical display for the current volume level is screwed up a little in that it displays the first few digits and then ... instead of the entire number

-in My Programs, trying to get the Trainer Settings menu causes the system to hang Sad
