I am trying also to upload a skin through http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins_upload.php, bu I am receiving these errors:

Error : Your skin file has not been uploaded correctly
Error : Your image has not been copied in the destination file

Which add-on do I need?

Kind regards,
Grumps

erwan10: These builds seemed to have worked! No more flashing and no more replaying on hover over. Thank you so much for all of your help. Hopefully I will be able to upload some skins I've been working on soon. When you say "...backport to previous version should be requested.", are you s...

Erwan10: Thank you again for your insight. Now, I have another question: I have noticed that when the animated bitmap is activated, it flashes the last frame of the bitmap. This is but a small nuisance but distracting. Is there a way to work around this? I could change the last frame to an empty one...

I was able to work around using the <Button up/> parameter: <Button up="Layout2_Animation_Open" id="OpenPanel"/>. But I still think the original issue needs to be looked into.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

I hope this might help.

erwan10: Thank you for responding. I have no errors in the log. I re-checked bitmap and sub-bitmap. Bitmap was 1581h x 538w, and sub-bitmap was 1580h x 536w. I resized the main bitmap to 1580h x 536w to match sub-bitmap and set xy coordinates to 0,0 as you suggested. Unfortunately, this does not cor...

I am afraid I must restart this topic because everything I have read in previous threads does not help me to understand why I cannot get this to work. I have created a window called Main. Inside, there are two layouts (Layout1 and Layout2). I have placed a button in Layout1 that switches to Layout2 ...

I have forgotten to update this. I found that instead of using Notepad, I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 for Applications. I first save the project in VLC Editor. I leave VLC Editor open. I navigate to the skin's folder and open the xml in MVS2005. Once open in MVS2005, I can make the required cha...

I understand this thread is over a year old but I am having the same issue with cover art. Your response to Maverick07x makes sense and I have done this by editing the .xml file in a text editor (Notepad). If I then open the .xml in the Skins Editor and try to test in VLC, it does not work. When I c...

OK...editing in 7-Zip does not work. I have removed the art="true" from the xml and the vlt works just fine. This must be a bug in the Skin Editor. So, for now I must use the skin without album art, which is very disappointing.

I think I may have found a work around this. I make changes in the Skin Editor and then completely close the editor. I also make sure VLC is not running. I can then open the XML in a text editor and make corrections (I use the basic Notepad app in Windows and make sure to click save twice). Close No...

I am very new to this project so please be patient. I am creating a custom skin using VLC Skin Editor 0.8.6dev. My skin works well except when I want to replace an image with Cover Art. When I check this box and then click to "Test in VLC", VLC does not load. When I save the xml and then t...
