Questions, stuff seems to not be working
Filed Under mercialleasing.com |
i got the 12-10 cvs build. i cant seem to change the skin for xbmc. i go to the appearance settings (its currently in project mayhem skin) and try to change skins, but it lists only one skin, the mayhem skin. when i ftp in, and go to my xbmc/skins folder, theres more than 1 skin in there, including project mayhem 2. when i try to rename the project mayhem 2 folder to the normal project mayhem, to try and fool xbmc, i get a black screen error telling me i have an invalid skin and i have to restart. is there something wrong with what i'm doing?? is it just something bad with the 12-10 build? i'm thinking about reverting back to a november build.
the 2nd problem is with the itunes daap streamer/reader thingy. it just wont pick up my itunes, and yes we're on the same network. in the xbmc xml, i see that the daap has an ip appointted to it. its set at 192.168.1.100. but my network uses 192.168.0.100 (rather, starts at), so i set it to that. and still nothing. am i supposed to set it to my very own computer ip? i didnt think i had to do anything with it since its daap.
can anyone help? i'm thinking its just a bad cvs build. i mean, it still plays all my video just fine, so its not a total bust, but i'd like it to work properly. :veryangry:
on the issue of the skin, i didnt see any reason why the project mayhem ii skin would be incompatible with xbmc 1.1, since i dl'ed the 1.1 ver (if there is even any other). i think i'll just revert builds...
there have been a lot of changes (many gui based changes) since xbmc 1.1. we have just recently put in a skin versioning system (which is what you are seeing the consequences of). the system is just getting started, and has already become a little better since the version you have. for instance, all skins are now shown in the spin control, with skins that are too old shown greyed out. an info message is also displayed informing you, the user, of the reason the skins won't work.
cvs changes multiple times a day as new stuff is added + bugs are fixed. this inevitably means that old skins fail to work with newer versions.
hope this makes it clear.
these days xbmc check the versions of skins, to determine if it's compatible or not. and in a best case scnario, if you manage to fool xbmc, you'll have issues anyway!
can't help ypu with the second question, and it's very messy to ask 2 totally unrelated questions in the same thread, please don't do that again. try searching and asking in the existing daap threads!
