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.
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 - 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
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.
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.
I used that frontend with your theme a while back and all worked ok.
It is just the Tiles Test2.zip one that is not working for me
1) I downloaded – then unpacked.
2) Copied the all the files in the zip into the relevant places meta.xml and rv_home.xml to root
3) The images to images folder
4) Zip up again and submitted – get error
I know my procedure for zipping up the theme etc and using Firefox works because i have been modifying the gallery view, re my previous posts and uploaded many times, so must be something else.
Just to prove me wrong ( which I readily accept ) could you do the same for Tiles Test2 and if works upload that for me to download, I’ll then see were I am going wrong.
Blummin’ 'eck! I can’t believe all this time I never noticed the missing ‘t’ and I even added the date to it recently.
I would like to thank yourself and KAD79 for taking the time and effort to get the frontend to work for tony0204. It’s great to have experts like the both of you and others in this forum.
And I would like to wish yourself and everyone a Happy Chrismas. (I couldn’t help myself with the last bit)
