How to update the skin with the svn files ...? (1 Viewer)

[pur_berger]

It might be a stupid question ... anyway ...

How can I update the skin with the svn files? I know how to check them out (using Tortoise) - but what to do next? When I export them I can get rif of all these svn folders - but isn't there a "cheap" way of putting the files into a structure and simply copy them ...? Even as I have seen some folderes with installer options (different grid for example) - argh - very confusing - I realy would like to test the new features and I don't want to wait for the new version to be released (special as there doesn't seem to be a date yet)


Anyone has some hints how to proceed?

THX

1. If you have already installed an official version, then you should uninstall that
2. Export your checkout directory to your skin folder

You will now have all the default settings. Alternatively you can make your skin folder point directly to the checkout directory if you don't mind the extra svn files.

If you would like to try some Mods [Optional]:

1. LargeFonts: Copy StreamedFonts\Large\fonts.xml to root directory and Delete your skin Cache.

2. FanartStyle: Copy movingpictures.xml and/or tvseries*.xml from FanartStyle folder into root folder

3. TVSeries WideBanner Mods: Copy the relevant files from either the FanartStyle or DefaultStyle folders, depend on your choice above.

4. TVGuides: Copy the TVGuide size you want from the TVGuides folder to root folder.

Be sure that you install the plugins from the plugins folder.

That should get you started, if you get stuck then you will just have to wait for the installer which takes the complication away. You should remove this manual copy before installing an official release as well.
