thats got me confused, using Mp 1.1.0 here on the dev system, though on Windows 7 and dont have any issues.

I wonder what is causing the error, maybe permissions.

I have uploaded a new version to the google code site, this wa to fix an issue with the weather but also expanded the error message, would be greatful if you could test again and let me know what the error is.

A copy of your Basichome would be good as well so I can try and reproduce.

Thanks

Thanks for doing this but I am no better off as have no problems with your file, loads and saves fine?????

The editor throws that error when having read the animation tag the time and acceleration attributes are null, which in your file they are not, so error is misleading.

Not sure where to go from here, first is anybody else using the editor who is running MP 1.1.0 Alpha and current SVN who can confirm the issue?

I am testing this Windows 7 64Bit, MP 1.1.0 Alpha and current SVN.

One odd thing your Basichome.xml file as setting for an eariler version of Infoservice so must have been saved with an earlier version of the editor.

I have edited and saved out your Basichome.xml and attached and if you have time would like to know if that works ok on your system and if the editor can read it.

Thanks for your help in this...

Cheers Trevor

I removed the menu options, should really remove the File option as well - I now look at the registry to find the install path for MP and read the Skin folder location from MediaPortDirs.xml. Using this method should allow for both MP 1.0.2 and new Skin dir location in MP 1.1.0, you can't by default browse to the ProgramData dir so I had to find a different method.

Guess I could be mis-reading the registry but in that case it would throw an ' Select menu not found' error

Just looked at that screenshot again - I assumed, badly it would appear, that the skin directory is called 'StreamedMP' as in a default install, would seems yours is called "StreamedMP Mod", have you also got a StreamedMP directory? Could have some odd effects that!

Can work round that by looking up the selected skin in MediaPortal.xml, think about it will also be able to get the language and check against the localized spelling Weather - currently the weather menu item has to called WEATHER otherwise the new weather code will not work.

Thanks for time testing and the feedback, will make some changes and upload a new version, may not be tonight though....

Another user here experiencing the same issue as dlarge. I run MP 1.0.2, also in another skin folder (called mine Streaming Aeon).
However I managed to generate a basichome file but the weird thing was that it didn;t have the modules in there which I selected, probably some fluke. It worked just fine except for that.

Loved the looks though, would love to generate a proper one!

-------EDIT-------

Nevermind the above, the editor was ofcourse generating BasicHome.xml in my StreamedMP folder (instead of the one I intended; Streaming Aeon). Maybe the editor should always be installed in the skin folder and then you can just use a relative path to create the basichome.xml.

Besides that, all is fine for me. I did get the error as described above but that didn't really break anything as far as I could see.
I have one little suggestion though. Tried it myself but could not yet get it going.
I think how the latest monochrome is doing the infoservice plugin is much more graceful. It has a rss button in there (the feed image) and a highlight image which shows when you have the rss button selected (a sparkly star thingie called Buttf.png).
Currently the whole menu changes when pressing down.
Just a suggestion. I might tinker with it myself some more to get that going.

New AeonMod Editor version

I have released a new version 1.0.100.0, see this post for the changes.

This version works out the skin directory so should get round having the skin named differnet from std - this does assume you have this skin seleted as live. This version aloso displays info about skin directory and MP loction which may help find the issue you are having.

As above for the skin directory

This idea was my original intention, the problem is when menu items lose focus they also lose visability and this is more a limitation of the menu design, same reason why using the mouse causes the same to happen. The way I do it currently was the best compromise. I will take another look as the xml and see what is possible but any help welcome. If you manage to come up with something let me have a copy of the xml and I will incorporate it into the editor.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, good to know it is working for you now.

The next version has options for some of the new skin controls in 1.1.0 Alpha, well wrapping of the RSS text anyway

Thanks
