xTV (Apple TV take 1 replica/clone) skin is in the XBMC Skinning Project's SVN

[MacGyver]

Hey CHI3f, I still love your skin 2 years later.

[Berz]

It's great to see your back in the loop CHI3F, been missing some updates lately :) The new navigational menu looks very clean, so two thumbs up from me :D

The Main screen of xTV is black on XBMC/Plex on OS X (Leopard)

Any Idea?

note: I downloaded last SVN Version

I am a huge fan of these new controls! Though I do like the concept of the origional controls (http://xbmc.org/forum/showpost.php?p=202721&postcount=684) Volante created, I agree that the OSD buttons need to be separate from the progress bar itself. You might think about changing the oval look and feel to make a more rectangular look with thinner borders and rounded corners much like the Volante original.

I was thinking about remaking the osd to look like this. Let me know what you think.

In fact the current OSD buttons don't work. The fieldset is off so when you hover over the text, other text is highlighted and pressed.

Just FYI.

CHI3f, do you have your updated PlayerControls.xml file with the latest icons so that I may recompile mine xTV without having to reinvent the wheel? I'm playing around with the OSD pannel as well.

I'm creating a new skins section on my site and I want to include this [it was requested] but when I try to get it from SVN is asks for a username and password :( Help!

Just get it from the link in my sig. I should be as up to date as the svn repository.

I installed latest T3CH + that rar from your link, but I get the incompatibility error :S. How?

EDIT: LOL, I am almost too embarrassed to post. I had it accidently in /skins/xtv/xtv instead of /skins/xtv

[itbedave]

I recently downloaded and installed the latest SVN from T3CH and then installed the xTV skin on my Xbox. First of all - I love it! I had been using BackRow as my theme but had a problem after the upgrade - so I switched to xTV and now don't want to go back.

HOWEVER - is anyone else having issues with this theme and your library being updated correctly? Since I've started using this theme, my videos are getting mislabeled and/or not show newly added content at all. I go back to the default theme and can see them fine. I thought maybe it was due to an incompatibility with the new build and xTV?

I'd be glad to provide any feedback needed. Thanks!

[TheQuestor]

Are there any classic ASP gurus here? I REALLY need some help with my skins section.

Also I was not aware that T3CH did OSX builds, and what is TECH3? I've googled it but can not find any info on it.

[itbedave]

Maybe I've missed it in these many pages - but how can I link my TV Shows menu with a specific folder on my network drive (TV folder)? Seems like this should be possible, right?

[o_dog]

no, the tv shows menu is a library link.

It looks like Plex v 0.8.2 breaks both the xTV skins, they have no icons or graphics visible and the navigation is broken - anyone else experience this?

I'm seeing the same thing. I'm also using the same xTV version on SVN #22528 xbmc on an appletv.

Ok I think it just needs to be compiled on a windows machine using the "build" file in the xTV folder - this brings the graphics back.

I have been switching back and forth between PLEX and XBMC OSX, xTV seems to work fine on PLEX (0.8.2) except for one nagging problem, and that is that if I navigate to the settings page I end up with a totally black screen. I can START in the settings page and see it fine, but if I navigate away from it I can't get back to it. I would really like it to work in PLEX because XBMC seems to have some video playback issues I can't seem to sort out.

I've been updating xTV to make it work with Plex. You can download it here: http://github.com/tassitassi/PlexXTV/ :)

[homesnake]

Yes and a big thank you Tassitassi for that! I'm enjoying your revival of this skin on PLEX, the best skin out there IMHO!
