MrWebsmith 598 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 ok i figured out my confusion i uninstalled all xbmc stuff.. including profile option.. restarted the htpc... reinstalled 13.1 gotham.. found the official 0.9.5 addon.. then when i added the 1.0.0 repo zip so that i could easily get the customized skins.. my addon then changed back to 0.9.14... is this OK/correct? if not, is there a different method to add the skins repo that i should be doing? my end goal is xbmc with auto server discovery/generic paths modified for movies/tv.. then aeon mq skin so i can use the set views feature... i thought the steps would be install xbmc -went fine install 0.9.5 addon from officlal repo.. went fine install the default skin, but the mb3 version went fine restart xbmc and then server was auto discovered YAY.. and user list prompted YAY install repo from zip...??? not sure as it changed my addon version install mq5 skin... also had a small issue were that never really showed a home screen until i force closed xbmc from windows task manager.. then i relaunched it and it loaded up the mq5 skin so... how far off the intended process am i.. what suggestions/tips do you all have for a user new to xbmc like me? is there a more updated addon repo than 1.0.0? thanks for your patience in advance...

xnappo 1593 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) RE: 0.9.14 - No - that is bad. @@im85288 - please update the skin repo ASAP if you can. I didn't realize this was going to happen. @@MrWebsmith - thank you for the info. Other than that it looks like you are on the right track. Different skins have different levels of XBMB3C integration - Confluence and Eminence are probably the most modified to be easy to use out of the box, but all of them are good with some tweaking. xnappo Edited June 4, 2014 by xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWebsmith 598 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 thanks for the info.. ill stand by for an updated repo zip to show is it still best practice from your team that i do the confluence skin (custom version) first after adding the addon? then after that move to another skin? also where in the process do you suggest doing the set views? my assumption is to hold on setting the views until you reach the skin youd like in the end.. that way you have the correct choices of its views, right? just trying to get this down as simple as it can be so i can try to present it to mb3 users trying to make the switch to it on the client side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the current repo probably Eminence is easiest. The view settings are separate per-skin. So you can switch between skins and it will remember your setting for each skin separately. We appreciate you taking notes as you go to make it easier for others! xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 @@xnappo - The repo is now updated with version 0.9.5 @@MrWebsmith - you do not need the addon from the official repo when you have the xbmb3c addon repo installed, everything is automatic and it usually has the latest stable version published. The setting of the views is done using a menu item found neat the bottom of the window you see when entering the xbmb3c addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xnappo 1593 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 XBMC checked for update on restart if you want to force it. Or you can go into the addon manager and it will check. xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikSlayer 197 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Congrats and thanks on this release. This version has so many little fixes/changes/updates/additions all over the place that makes it work so much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
