You will notice changes in next update. I will be releasing it Tuesday evening (PST)

Got the new update thanks , I did notice that the disable label name does not work in both the main screen and the shelf. Also could not see where you can add a custom image in Livetv. Excellent work though .

I will look into the disable label issue.
Custom image for livetv? Are you refering to the epg background?

I mean when you run live tv (iptv simple my case) you get a large white xbmc image if no tv channel is showing in the epg channel list.

Hmmm anyway you could take a screenshot?
I tested all livetv windows and I couldnt duplicate.

I had a quick look through your .xml and its the tvset.png that shows up on the menu, I think if you go through your pvr icons you will see the offending picture.

Couple of other minor bugs I found was DialogOk.xml wasn't always showing due to it looking for the the file with a capital K. With that error i duplicated the file and now the dialog ok box comes up but doesn't show a custom background if selected.

Thanks I will fix in next update.

Ive found a problem which Im not sure is skin related but more i think with kodi. I made a backup of my machine with your skin as default, but when I restore it brings all my addons etc back but the guisettings.xml seems to be overwritten on reboot so losing mall the tweaks I have added to your skin. Any ideas ?

 

[iCanuck]

What OS are you on? The guisettings.xml is read-only on most...
There are ways around this but I would need to know what OS your using to send you in the right direction.

Using on an Openelec version MX2

hey iCanuck, Ive been giving the skin a good testing and i found an error which does seem to be skin related.

going through threads on google this seems to happen on various skins when using an EPG and SimpleITV addon, EPG data loads but is not shown. It does load on first run, but on consecutive boots it does seem to stop and throw up this error.

Guys I've been dealing with some health issues recently and haven't been around my PC.
Please don't think this project is abandoned... Be patient and there will be updates in the future, no eta however.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I love this skin at first sight. Thank you for all your hard work.

I would like to categorize all the add-on in each group like Movies group, News group, Kids group...

However, I see only one "Favourites" that has Custom Favourites Shelf, and one "Add-ons" that has Custom Shelf Shortcuts.

Is there any way to enable/have more Custom Favourites Shelf / Custom Shelf Shortcuts Add-ons...?

Thanks,
Huy Nguyen

You have asked the same question in two forums (tvaddons/kodi)

Goto skinsettings>advanced skinsettings>enable more top row favorites
