Community Skin support thread

Thanx Fatman_do, i reinstalled and now its back to normal..

One more question..

With the last update of the skin i now have the VA panel at the bottom witch is fine by me, but now it lays ontop of the weather, think weather was at top of screen before?? or on the bottom when the va panel was in the middle??

[Fatman_do]

Yeah, I moved some things around.

It is something I was debating back and forth, so maybe I need to re-evaluate this.

The VA Panel is used as a "super panel" in these xml's.
It is intended to show clock, recording status, weather, and music playback info even though there are other panels that do the same thing. Because of this, those other panels need to be turned off.

I have been thinking of keeping the Weather Panel active along with the VA Panel, maybe I should explore this?

From you logs it looks like it cannot find "\Community\Main Menu\skin.xml"

Is it not there?

Browse to \Skin\SkinPlugin\MainMenus\ and copy the contents of the Mayhem3 folder to the \Skin\Community\ folder.

That should get you working to be able to get working again.

(Or reinstall skin, unchecking the 2nd and 3rd option in the dialog box)

I had the same issue - reinstall fixed it. Haven't tried the Sassari skin again to see if it still occurs.

gbpvr.exe.log is the most likely to show the error.

What theme are you using? I cannot reproduce this error.

Do you get the same results with the blue skin?

Well, did a reinstall of the 2.0.3 skin due to the Sassari problem and it seems to be working now. I did copy the Mayhem folder like you suggested to fix the Sassari problem, so not sure which one (or both!) fixed it!

[Fatman_do]

Ok, I'll check it out.

i get some errors that seems to do with pluginhelper and some fastfindplugin, can someone tip me on what to do?

FastFind is part of the XRecord Suite. Did you install the two patches as well?

[mcfrojd]

i dont use xrecord any more.. how do i remove it so the errors dissapear?
Dont know if it does any harm, but its allways nice to have error free logs

[Fatman_do]

I am tracking down other errors in logs, but if you don't use xrecord anymore, remove xrecord.dll, fastfind.dll, and guide2j.dll from your plugins directory.

[mcfrojd]

Dident have any of those in my plugin dir.. but i removed recordPlugin.dll and now thefastfind error is no more in the logs, there is still a lot of errors regarding:
