RSS and Weather on Basic Home - Release (1 Viewer)

[JakeyMouse]

Just one thing, You will need to tell people that they need to add the Home folder from the Indigo Media folder into there PureVisionHD Media folder, otherwise the images won't display.

That will change in the next version though, because its duplicating the weather images at the moment.

great stuff....well done and will try on my system. Will see if I can modify xface 1.6 in the next couple of days.

I have got the placement right for XFace 1.6 but could not get the images to show up for the RSS feed or weather. Once I get this right will post the required xml but I need help.

Extracted all files into MP dir and then copied all file from Indigo into Xface Dir (including Sub Dirs). in the BasicHome.xml file modified xpos and ypos entries to desired locations on the screen but still connot get images to show. The images for RSS feed are under /home and weather is under /home/64x64. Even if I copy these to other locations, nothing happens. I am assuming you coding updates the texture field with the correct location? If so what is it as I can see no reference to the files in the log files......


EDIT>>>>>>>>>>>>
Have updated attachment with working BasicHome.xml file with graphics now. See atached screenshot for XFace 1.6 Addition

EDIT :

Found your error Charli181. You need to define your background at the start of the XML.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
	<id>35</id>
	<defaultcontrol>2</defaultcontrol>
	<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
	<disabletopbar>yes</disabletopbar>
	<controls>
		<control>
			<description>BG</description>
			<type>image</type>
			<id>1</id>
			<texture>Background2.png</texture>
			<width>1366</width>
			<height>768</height>
		</control>

<!-- RSS Ticker Along Bottom -->

There you go!

I really like the rss ticker.. good job!

I've modified the Aeon Wide Menu Generator to support the RSS ticker. Using the generator you can easily generate a custom BasicHome for the Aeon wide skin with RSS and Weather support.

Thanks again for making this.

Me too.
Weird thing is, that on the first run of MP config after installing the plugin, everything works well. I can config it, and then the plugin on basichome works great.
From the second time I try to run config, I get the mentioned error. It can't load home plugin.
When MP is running, the plugin itslef continues to work fine. Just can't be configured.
Thanks for your work

 

[JakeyMouse]

hmm, definitely sometime I will look into.

I can confirm this problem with latest SVN of RC2

 

[JakeyMouse]

Yeah, still on the problem. Haven't managed to get a working version for the new SVN out yet.
