Question Broken skins [noob ques.]
Hey,
Got my Pi yesterday, instantly installed Xbian Alpha 3 as it is regarded the best from my impressions. Compared to its alternatives, Xbian is the fastest- indeed noticeable. Problem is for some reason skins that seem to work with Raspbmc are marked broken with Xbian. Specifically I'd like to install reFocus BIG skin. If I manually unzip it to /home/../Addons it will work. But defeats the purpose of having a repo for it.

As a complete noob who would really love to stick with Xbian, how come these are reported broken on Xbian alone? A lot of skins report broken on Xbian but work with its rivals.

Thanks.

RE: Broken skins [noob ques.]
This can be due to XBian running a later XBMC build than raspbmc. (which one is rasbpmc running atm?, check it in XBMC -> System -> System info, right corner)

Thanks for the reply, I know you must be pretty busy with real coding.

Which one is Raspbmc running and which one is your XBian installation running?

Raspbmc is marked 12.0-RC1, Xbian is marked 12.0-BETA1 (using alpha3).
From what I gather Raspbmc is at least beta3 according to their site, so that must be the root of the compatibility differences.

Yeah, thanks that updated me to 12.0-RC1 and fixed skin compatibility issues.
