Changelog:

v0.95 (Released on 19th August 2009) Download

First of all a big apology for the lack of releases and updates over the last few weeks/months but things have got very complicated and busy (both at work and at home) so I just don’t have the time to do much skin coding at the moment.

My time may be limited but I still want to get this skin up to scratch and in a bug-free state. In order to achieve this I’m going to have to call a feature freeze and concentrate on tidying up what bugs are in there.
Once all the bugs are squashed then I’ll be able to get the v1.00 release out and get the skin code into the Official XBMC Skinning SVN.

I have managed to make a few changes in the limited time I’ve had recently but I haven’t really had the time to test them all properly.

The main changes are as follows:

  • Added: Displaying of latest movies and episodes to Home screen
  • Added: Option to Hide Latest Videos on Home
  • Added: Music Playlist Editor screen
  • Added: Music Player Controls to Music Vis screen
  • Added: Russian translation (thanks to fat.hamster)
  • Added: Chinese translation (thanks to taxigps)
  • Added: Further 13 studio logos
  • Fixed: Navigating to cast list in video info dialogs
  • Fixed: Width of Director value in Episode Info dialog
  • Fixed: Runtime was overlapping the resolution and aspect flags
  • Fixed: Made sure that music info is hidden on music vis screen when lyrics is active
  • Updated: made text more readable by adding a darker shadow color
  • Updated: Widened area for clock on Video OSD (so it works better with larger fonts)
  • Updated: Fixed displaying of animated weather on home
  • Updated: Tidied up RSS display on home screen
  • Updated: Dutch translation (thanks to Waffa and mcage)
  • Updated: Portuguese translation (thanks to xbs08)
  • Updated: German translation (thanks to Haggy)
  • Updated: Italian translation (thanks to ZIOLele)
  • Updated: Swedish translation (thanks to blittan)
  • Updated: Italian translation (thanks to ZIOLele)
  • Updated: Spanish translation (thanks to Melandryu)

If you do find any bugs please post details (with screenshots if possible) and I’ll look to get them all cleared up as quickly as I can.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped during the development of the skin and (time permitting) I’ll be able to get back and add new features and improvements in the (not too distant) future.

v0.92 (Released on 25th June 2009)

Another week, another release.

The main addition this time is further media flags (video codec and aspect) as well as tidying up how the media flags are displayed in genereal.

The info dialogs for the movies and episodes have been rewritten so as to fit in another ‘page’ of info – the text values for all the various media flags. Pressing left/right will navigate you through the info on these dialogs.
Another new addition is the ability to display animated weather icons on Home. This is based on the work done by Silverxxx in this thread. It is disabled by default but, if you download the animated thumbs from Sliverxxx’s thread then place them in the folder that contains the custom weathe background images, you can then enable it.
The main changes are as follows:

  • Added: Displaying of video codec flags to Showcase view and video info dialogs
  • Added: Video Aspect & Video Resolution flags to all views (except Waterfall) for movies
  • Added: Video Aspect & Resolution flags to Showcase view and video info dialogs for episodes
  • Added: Displaying of text values for each of the new media flagging attributes to the movie and episode info dialogs
  • Added: Code to display animated thumbs on Home screen (place icon pack in custom weather BG folder)
  • Added: Option to turn the animated weather on/off
  • Added: French translation (thanks to luuuke78)
  • Fixed: Tidied up logic for displaying wider text on Full Video OSD (to get rid of any overlapping when plot is visible)
  • Fixed: Removed extra shadow on top of portrait thumbs in List view
  • Updated: Tidied up time display in Video OSD
  • Updated: Tidied up conditions for dolby value in AudioCodec field when showing audio flags
  • Updated: Added picking up of dts value in AudioCodec field when showing audio flags
  • Updated: Italian translation (thanks to ZIOLele)
  • Updated: Tidied up media flags on episode info dialog
  • Updated: Korean translation (thanks to kimp93)
  • Updated: French translation (thanks to bidossessi)
  • Updated: Dutch translation (thanks to Waffa)
  • Updated: Portuguese translation (thanks to xbs08)
  • Updated: German translation (thanks to Haggy)
