Some frontends I have done (13th Dec 2012) [ Edited ]

[stearm]

Hello,

I've done another frontend/dashboard. This one I think is similar to the AppleTV. The navigation is just left/right. If a new firmware or a WD promotions are detected they should be displayed in the bottom right-hand corner. The text labels are again part of the rv_home.xml and will change to whatever language is selected.

It has got  a meta.xml and is saved as zip file, so it should work with the SMP.

Thank You.
Stephen.

Hi

I tried The “Tiles Test2” on the SMP and got the “Invalid file – Please correct file” msg when uploading .

I am using the” ALASKA RESURFACE 7/3/12” theme and just replace the ones in your zip file into the “ALASKA RESURFACE 7/3/12 theme”

Do you have any suggestions ? – tried a few times, with no success. Uploading via the web browser is normally fine – done many times with other themes, so just doing the above is causing the error.

Thanks

try a different browser

chrome seems to be the most stable for this, although firefox usually works for me

Thanks - I am using Firefox and always works. It is something that I am doing wrong or that is missing from the Theme front end downloaded from the first post

Hello tony0204,

I'm sorry I cannot help you. I don't have a SMP just the Hub.

I used 7-zip with the Compression Level of Store for the zip file and with the meta.xml I thought it would work on the SMP.

I don't know if KAD79 has downloaded Test Tiles 2. But with his expertise and knowledge, if he doesn't say that the problem is with the zip file then I believe that there is nothing wrong with the zip file.

I hope you can get it to work and again I am sorry I couldn't be any more help to you.

Stephen.

ok, well admitadley, when I downloaded these zips, they would not upload to my SMP via firefox

I by passed the whole thing used curl to upload it

but in the first few days, I got my SMP, I had found the the webend upload function is a bit buggy

same file would work in chrome, but not in firefox

others would upload just fine in firefox

IE9 again some work some don't

so far as for webrowser uploads chrome seems the most stable

if you're not comfortable with installing chrome or others ...

you could grab a zip that you know has worked

delete the files inside it, then copy the files from the above zip into the working zip

@stearm

btw, I did not get to test out your front ends as much as I wanted to, but definetely nice work

[tony0204]

Thank you both for reply

Steven - I like the look of front end, so well done.

@KAD79 – did your suggestion, that is how I was going it, as it happens

Another learning curve for me I guess, all takes longer the older you get !

When I have some time after Christmas, will look at what files are needed for the frontend and how they may be interacting with the Alaska theme or may be if you do not have the latest firmware , don’t know. If I make progress will update.

Happy Christmas to all.
