VLC Skin Editor // Current release: 0.8.5

[Sparrowhawk]

Hello Jean-Baptiste
Do you have any information about if a new build (0.8.6 ???) is likely to ever be made?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

We should fix it

Look nice and simple to use, I will able to create my skin soon

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

If it is not 100% broken, yes

I've downloaded and installed Java + Skin editor, but when I want to run the .exe it says that I have no java installed. How can I solve this?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

32bits vs 64bits?

This is a interesting feature but I hope it wont cause malfunction on the prog.?
Is there any tutorial I can use so I can start?

Hi there, is there will be updates on VLC Skin Editor, because it looks abadoned at this time? Maybe there is alternatives how to build skin with more advanced features like skinning playlist tree or skinning other UI parts!

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

So far, noone has picked it up.

It shouldn't be hard.

Hi!

How come the latest skin editor is 0.8.5 on http://get.videolan.org/skin-editor/? I have seen skins with 0.8.6.dev. I did some googling and found it at another site.

Here's whats in the changelog:

Code: Select all

0.8.6 - Support for new skins2 features in VLC 1.1/1.2 + cover art + video recording action + new image resize mode - Bugfix: XML Output was not proper UTF-8 - Bugfix: " was tolerated as value for IDs, actions etc. and could thus break your skin file - Bugfix: Paths to resource files could contain \ and thus break your skin on Linux - several other small bugfixes - more languages

However a more up to date version would have been great.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

That was in the git repo, that's all.

The Editor needs some love.

I have java 8 and vlc skin 8.5, but when it comes to running it says it needs java 8. How to solve?

I believe it needs some code changes for that.

In Windows 7 x64, after installing Java RE and the skin editor, browse to the editor directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC Skin Editor" and launch the "VLCSkinEditor.jar" file rather than the .exe.
Worked for me.

I would really appreciate hosting and SVN/CVS functionality

In Windows 10 x64 with Java 8.251 doesn't work. The main window opens, but nothing works (no open to import, no export, nothing). Doing that same workaround to open the jar file doesn't work too: the same problem occurs (window opens but nothing).


Although, Android AVD works, so isn't a Java problem.

Installing latest Java 32bit and creating system variable "JAVA_HOME" with path to the Java 32bit solved this problem for me.

Are there any alternatives to this made yet? I can't get mine to work without it glitching.
