This is a great skin, whoever, i have noticed that when you bring up the OSD, the skin is not allowing me to change the audio or video settings. I am trying to change the audio from AC-3 stereo to AC-3 5.1.

Any thoughts?

Not sure if this can be accomplished, but I'm gonna toss it out and see if someone has some ideas.

Within "Movies" and selecting landscape view, I can see that the landscape images are getting pulled from the moviename-fanart.jpg.

I am looking for a way of instead of pulling that landscape image from the fanart, instead to pull it from, for example, moviename-landscape.jpg

What I hope to pull off here is by directing the landscape view to pull that image from something other than the fanart image, I will be able to use a smaller image and in turn reduce the amount of resources used to populate all those landscape images.

I have taken all of my TV episode landscape thumbnails, reduced their size and my old xbox is loving it...I can scroll through episodes as fast as I want without having to wait for the thumbnails to populate.

An example of cutting the landscape thumb down to 300x168px, but as you can see the fanart and thumb are tied together.

Change all the

PHP Code:

$INFO[ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)] 


to

PHP Code:

$INFO[ListItem.Path,,/landscape.jpg] 


and then batch 'copy, resize and rename' all your fanarts to landscape.jpg.

i know this might not necessarily be related to revisited but i was hoping you might know a quick way to fix it.

i'm compiling my own builds here so trust me, i'm fully aware of the merge and the fluctuations the trunk is seeing. if hitcher wants to say bugger off he's fully in his right but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I'm not making any skin changes until it's stable again simply because of the expected issues.

Change all the

$INFO[ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)]

$INFO[ListItem.Path,,/landscape.jpg] 


and then batch 'copy, resize and rename' all your fanarts to landscape.jpg.

Thank you!

Using photoshop to resizing all of my fanart to 300px by 168px then running them through "save for web" to optimize them and cut the size down even further, this is simply awesome on my xbox. No lag scrolling through my media, images populate instantly, and videos play instantly. Thank you again for bringing some life into the 'ol xbox.

Just an innocent question:

looking to the video (I'm not going to rush and upgrade XBMC to unstable and Alaska itself... not yet), it seems to me that fonts are a bit... larger. bigger.
Am I wrong ?


BTW, it looks great !

Hitcher!

Thanks for the great work! From now one my default skin!

And keep it unsupported!
(Don't want to see this thread become a support-thread ;-) )

Added 'Content' and 'Plugin' settings.

Hi Hitcher,

and again the upper preview looks fantastic. But there is a question i must ask, so please don't blame me for doing that.

I'm german and i use your 'private' and unsupported version of alaska. As said, the skin is slim, fast and looks great. But it looks terrible when the normal xbmc menus are translated by default into my native language and the skin is not.

Your skin is unsupported and i accept that, but can you please think about the implementation of the all the language placeholders we need to translate it!? The placeholders are the only coding you must do.No moddings, or fittings, etc. I know there are a lot of guys like me, waiting to start a translation.

I hope you agree.

Your fan.
Efty
