[18:12] <bobweaver> Ping tgm4883  do you know where the source code for the api is located ?
[18:12] <bobweaver> I am trying to make a awesome themes page and am not ahving any luck
[18:12] <bobweaver> this is as far as I can get
[18:12] <bobweaver> http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/trunk/Mythbuntu/themeinfo.xml
[18:13] <bobweaver> But I would like to get something like this    http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/trunk/ALL/themeinfo.xml
[18:13] <bobweaver> Of cource there is no "All" but I have no clue what else is on that server
[18:21] <bobweaver> NM 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 Themes
[19:17] <tgm4883> bobweaver, which API? The serivices API?
[19:20] <bobweaver> nah there is a different api but I have figured out a way around what I am doing
[19:20] <bobweaver> ust trying to get the engine all set up at this point
[19:21] <bobweaver> the 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 packages
[19:21] <bobweaver> Trying to set UP a qt.wizard for all the themes
[19:22] <bobweaver> http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator/creator-project-wizards.html
[19:23] <tgm4883> bobweaver, I still think you should just plan on having an app that downloads themes rather than doing a packaging/hosting of them
[19:23] <tgm4883> there will periodically be updates for the themes that don't coincide with any release cycle
[19:23] <bobweaver> correct but the code is different then the code that is on git
[19:24] <bobweaver> like my code is qml and frontend is qt4.X
[19:24] <tgm4883> you won't be able to read that code and convert on the fly?
[19:24] <bobweaver> with out making a generator like xslt
[19:24] <bobweaver> yeah it can
[19:25] <bobweaver> but the bad thing is that it can not read other themes that are not made already for myth
[19:25] <tgm4883> I 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 conversion
[19:25] <tgm4883> hmm
[19:25] <bobweaver> like the ones that I stole qtmediahub work
[19:25] <tgm4883> you could make it look for mythtv related stuff and only use the conversion if necessary?
[19:25] <bobweaver> or others that I am going to make
[19:26] <bobweaver> I would either have to one make xml files for the new themes or just hard code everything in the new themes
[19:26] <bobweaver> either way I gots lots of hacking to do lol
[19:27] <tgm4883> you can't say "look inside themeinfo.xml, if mythtv, run it through convertTheme(), otherwise just use it"?
[19:27] <bobweaver> there is none in the new themes
[19:27] <bobweaver> because they are not on myth
[19:28] <bobweaver> not sure if you can watch a video but I am addeding these themes also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZXV4J0d_nE
[19:28] <tgm4883> bobweaver, 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 normally
[19:28] <bobweaver> yup
[19:29] <tgm4883> so 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] <bobweaver> but I guess that the wizard part is the lmain part that I am working on at this point
[19:29] <bobweaver> correct and how I am going to package and install themes both to old frontend and my new one
[19:30] <bobweaver> Like I started to make XML file for all that but I kinda am running into issues with nameing and what not
[19:31] <tgm4883> bobweaver, 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 theme
[19:33] <bobweaver> like 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 repo
