ammonrose Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Pellucid would be incredible. It's so simplistic and has majestic backgrounds. I'd appreciate it if you could upload this skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminence will already pull PSE with how they build the context menus. I have used it already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelyator Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Rapier ist still the most flexible skin imho! But this might be a stupid question: Why do we need a PSE-Modified skin at all? CV could simply be started from the context menue of any skin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just that, it's the loading and buffering dialogs etc during the sequence--the skin's xml files need to be modified to suppress those messages while the addon is running to make things look like they flow more smoothly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware! So what will happen, when i install the PSE Add-on through the "unknown sources" path, using the zip file with "non-optimised" skin like Rapier?

SFP_Matt Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 You'd be fine, I'd imagine...you'll just see those annoying buffering graphics and text. You can make modifications yourself to the skin files if you have access to them to block those messages from appearing. Check out this thread--I grabbed the old CV documentation for skin modification and it works for me, as long as use use the pse script name instead of CV's.

vonson Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 What precisely are the changes to the skin? I ask because I have my own modified version of estuary and don't want to lose my customizations. So I'd prefer to include these changes into my modified version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It would be great to have a cinescope Skin (21:9) e.g. "MyScopeNox" 1.4.4 and "ScopeNox" 1.26.13. for those who have a Cinescope Screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd prefer to include these changes into my modified version... the changes are in several files if the skin supported cinemavision it's easier. just find all instances of cinemavision and change it to preshowexperience then for an added functionality, where ever focus is being set on the button in DialogVideoInfo, change it to the PSE button id. I'm looking at it now UPDATE*** in DialogVideoInfo - change this <defaultcontrol always="true">8</defaultcontrol> to this <defaultcontrol always="true">441</defaultcontrol> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <include content="InfoDialogButton"> <param name="id" value="441" /> <param name="icon" value="icons/infodialogs/cinema.png" /> <param name="onclick_1" value="Dialog.Close(MovieInformation)" /> <param name="onclick_2" value="RunScript(script.cinemavision,experience)" /> <param name="label" value="$LOCALIZE[31003]" /> <param name="visible" value="System.AddonIsEnabled(script.cinemavision) + [String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,movie) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,season) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,episode)]" /> </include> to this <include content="InfoDialogButton"> <param name="id" value="441" /> <param name="icon" value="icons/infodialogs/cinema.png" /> //change this to use a custom png <param name="onclick_1" value="Dialog.Close(MovieInformation)" /> <param name="onclick_2" value="RunScript(script.preshowexperience)" /> <param name="label" value="$LOCALIZE[31003]" /> <param name="visible" value="System.AddonIsEnabled(script.preshowexperience) + [String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,movie) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,season) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,episode)]" /> </include> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the DialogBusy.xml change this <visible>String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(script.cinemavision.running))</visible> to this <visible>String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(script.preshowexperience.running))</visible> --------------------------------------- Lastly change all occurrences of "Cinema Mode" to "PreShow Experience" in the language files. having an IDE (Intellij) definitely helped on this one... you really only need to do the one for your language, but i did all of them...

Reelyator Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Nice! Thank you @garzilla!! Question: Is the modification of the Context Menue the only Modification for Rapier in this version? Or does it also include the Modification to skip the usual "busy" or "loading" messages between the individual clips of the PSE Playlist?

Reelyator Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Btw. i have written to Gade, the "Father" of Rapier in the Kodi.tv forum, asking him if PSE integration would be possible. Usually he is a very competent and responsive guy. Will keep you posted on what comes back from him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightWatcher Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I think once PSE is added to the official Kodi repository it'll receive official support from Gade and a few others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightWatcher Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Good news, the creator of Aeon TAJO will be supporting PSE in a future release. It's a great looking skin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
