bobweaverPing tgm4883  do you know where the source code for the api is located ?18:12
bobweaverI am trying to make a awesome themes page and am not ahving any luck18:12
bobweaverthis is as far as I can get18:12
bobweaverhttp://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/trunk/Mythbuntu/themeinfo.xml18:12
bobweaverBut I would like to get something like this    http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/trunk/ALL/themeinfo.xml18:13
bobweaverOf cource there is no "All" but I have no clue what else is on that server18:13
bobweaverNM the more I think about the more I think that I am just going to have to create my own and host it for DL QML Themes18:21
tgm4883bobweaver, which API? The serivices API?19:17
bobweavernah there is a different api but I have figured out a way around what I am doing19:20
bobweaverust trying to get the engine all set up at this point19:20
bobweaverthe whole thing package size vs themes installed by default is making me wonder what I should do. IE how many default themes should be installed and then after that I will just make theme packages19:21
bobweaverTrying to set UP a qt.wizard for all the themes19:21
bobweaverhttp://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator/creator-project-wizards.html19:22
tgm4883bobweaver, I still think you should just plan on having an app that downloads themes rather than doing a packaging/hosting of them19:23
tgm4883there will periodically be updates for the themes that don't coincide with any release cycle19:23
bobweavercorrect but the code is different then the code that is on git19:23
bobweaverlike my code is qml and frontend is qt4.X19:24
tgm4883you won't be able to read that code and convert on the fly?19:24
bobweaverwith out making a generator like xslt19:24
bobweaveryeah it can19:24
bobweaverbut the bad thing is that it can not read other themes that are not made already for myth19:25
tgm4883I think that is going to give you the best option. You'll get all the themes for the one time effort of making the ONF conversion19:25
tgm4883hmm19:25
bobweaverlike the ones that I stole qtmediahub work19:25
tgm4883you could make it look for mythtv related stuff and only use the conversion if necessary?19:25
bobweaveror others that I am going to make19:25
bobweaverI would either have to one make xml files for the new themes or just hard code everything in the new themes19:26
bobweavereither way I gots lots of hacking to do lol19:26
tgm4883you can't say "look inside themeinfo.xml, if mythtv, run it through convertTheme(), otherwise just use it"?19:27
bobweaverthere is none in the new themes19:27
bobweaverbecause they are not on myth19:27
bobweavernot sure if you can watch a video but I am addeding these themes also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZXV4J0d_nE19:28
tgm4883bobweaver, I guess my question is, if you could identify the theme as a mythtv theme, would it be possible to have the code convert it on the fly? Conversly, if it's not identified as a mythtv-theme, just use it normally19:28
bobweaveryup19:28
tgm4883so if you can do that, then it sounds like our only issue is determining whether a theme is a mythtv theme or not?19:29
bobweaverbut I guess that the wizard part is the lmain part that I am working on at this point19:29
bobweavercorrect and how I am going to package and install themes both to old frontend and my new one19:29
bobweaverLike I started to make XML file for all that but I kinda am running into issues with nameing and what not19:30
tgm4883bobweaver, I've got to run to a meeting, but it sounds like the identification part should be doable. Minimally you could just look at where the theme is coming from (URL) and then mark something locally signifying a mythtv theme19:31
bobweaverlike I started to make this http://pastebin.com/Zx5q3aQq   but then I noticed that all the images and what not will have to be changed but this would work for all bt the ones that are not in the myth repo19:33
