Download Avallanche 1.6.0.9


Bugs/Issues:

• Issue - Enable/Disable recently added.... in GUI does not work.

Todo list for the next release:

Instructions:

• A suggestion for anyone wanting current weather background in Basic Home under the weather tab. Change the word "Weather" in BasicHome.xml, if You are using a language other than English. <visible>string.equals(#homeitem,Weather)</visible>
• To show ClearArt in MyFilms must the IMDB ID field contain the value eg tt12345.
• It is highly recommended to uninstall and delete all old skin files before the installation.
• If you use MePoTools for ClearArt, ClearLogo and CDArt the path to thumbs should be: thumbs\CDArt\Movies, thumbs\CDArt\Music, thumbs\CDArt\Series, thumbs\CDArt\Seasons, thumbs\ClearArt\Movies, thumbs\ClearArt\Music, thumbs\ClearArt\Series, thumbs\ClearLogo\Movies, thumbs\ClearLogo\Series
• For some of us will the fonts not install properly, so I have attached them in a zip file so you can install them manually.
• Since the setup file gets too big, I have added a zip file with suitable backdrops

Looks nice, there are still quite a few problems though...

Clean install MP1.4 with no prior avalon / avallonis / avallanche

BUGS:

1. Missing texture is settings menu i think. i'm on this button, but i can't see that it's currently highlighted.

2. Basic home menu is empty after installing just get labels eg. #basic.home.etc.. even though basic home editor is populated. TO fix this you have to go into mp plugins change the home menu then change it back again then save. So there is a file missing for the default menu from your mpei.

3. "DVD-Filmer" present in moving pictures submenu.

4. "Tuning Detailjer" present in My TV menu (?language string not used)

5. "TV Play" is used instead of "online videos"

6. Overlapping text in tvseries


7. Missing textures in tvguide


8. now playing - top album/artist tracks


9. Missing now playing video GUI elements
Hit right arrow to skip +15, there is no GUI displayed.

10. missing side menu textures


12. home menu, now playing overlay overlaps with latest recordings ..... position slider visible during top menu navigation



I think I'll stop marking errors, might be easier if you do the following...

I suggest you might like to try backup your current avallanche skin folder.
Delete everything that has to do with Avalon/Avallonis/Avalanche, delete the avallanche/avalon/avallonis plugins, then run the installer, then use that clean install for your ongoing development to remove previous skin dependencies.

For problem No. 12 you can set values from pur_berger here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...mp1-3-and-earlier.116073/page-38#post-1003879 , but just for common.overlay.home.xml

@sweborn

FRom which side you download CDArt for series?

 

[shorty1483]

sweborn, I think the widebanner fanart view in TVSeries is not working properly. When switching to banner fanart mode in skin settings and activating in MPTVSeries the banner layout, I just see the series count, but no series banners, fade in cover, Series Name etc...

The other setting combinations work.

 

[kjegibbons]

Can all these problems be solved by overwriting the relevant xmls from the last version for 1.3?

Obviously, any containing "togglebutton" entries would have to be looked at...might save a lot of time.

 

[pur_berger]

So - There were some Bugs in common.overlay.home which have anoyed for ages - no I think they shoudl b solved ...

Fixed:
- In TV ts.stream is displayed instead of Program name
- progress bar in TV is not showing status but hopping around
Enhancements:
- TV Logo is now also displayed
- DiskCover is displayed in movies and series

 

[shorty1483]

That's the question - as I'm still on 1.3 probably a link in the new forum would be idea

Already implemented in Addict

 

[pur_berger]

And - now with Disk too

As I don't use the last avallanche right now I couldn't test what happens if TVseries has a diskimage - when playing a series which has no disk image the blank one is displayed. I put in the condition which should work - so someone needs to confirm.

CDArt for movies is linked to \MovingPictures\thumbs\Fullsize, so it will not work with the MePoTools standard folder (but with DVDArt Plugin).
