I didn't see the other section of the MySQL Howto. Thank for showing me.

== A glance to my little contribute... ==
Hi Ned, 
can you take a look about my first little contribute at [[Archive:Unbranded MCE remote|Unbranded MCE remote]] ? --'''User:Skelos|Skelos''' 11:59, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

== NedBot keeps moving an article ==
Why do you and [[User:NedBot|NedBot]] keep moving the [[Archive:Configure Sony PS3 remote on Asus EB1012P|Configure Sony PS3 remote on Asus EB1012P]] article? --[[User:Sjefen6|Sjefen6]] 17:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

:"HOW-TO:" has now become a namespace on the Wiki, rather than being a normal part of the title. Kind of like how there are "User:" and "Talk:" pages. In order to do this without messing things up, all pages with "How-to" or "HOW-TO" in the title had to be moved for a moment, then the new namespace added, then moved back. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 17:53, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

== General info and Dharma Guide ==
Hi Ned,<br />
I'd like to help out a bit on the wiki, but as you're doing a big overhaul it looks like you might have an overarching plan, and I don't want to step on your toes. Is there anything I should be aware of before delving in, or should I just go right ahead and update pages and fill in gaps wherever I find them?<br />
Also, what's happening with the Dharma Guide? Is this just a straight copy-paste job from the pdf with relevant internal and external links added where appropriate, or is any tweaking required beyond that? --'''User:Procrastinator|Procrastinator''' 10:03, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

:Right now I have some basic ideas just sort of floating around. [[User:Ned Scott/idea pad]] has some ideas put down, and [[Help:Main page]] is basically the same thing, but a little better formatted. That's about as far as I've gotten with a formal plan, other than random things that pop up in my head :)

:I'm just doing a pretty much straight copy of the Dharma Guide that Henry Ford made just to see how it looks, and to test out some formatting ideas. The eventual idea is to work it into a "basic/new user manual" as a starting point, and expand upon it from there. Kind of a way to get a jump start on a new user manual in time for Eden's release. There's also another PDF guide out there on the forums that we might also be able to pull from, but I haven't heard back from the author yet.

:A lot of the existing pages will probably be a kind of "advanced users manual" since they go into such detail, while some pages could fall under both manuals. It's all just ideas at this point, though. In any case we'll keep our existing pages in some form or another, so feel free to update and add to them. Feel free to even try out something completely new or draft some test pages if you have ideas. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 02:39, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

== xbox ==
Hi Ned,

Since your recent changes with the unofficial repository wiki list us xbox users can no longer install repositories through the addons4xbox installer.  Since the problem has occurred there has only been an addition by DMD-XBMC-Addons and your changes to the page.  I've checked the DMD addition and everything seems ok so I presume the problem is due to the page change, unfortunately I can't seem to get hold of temhil the author of addons4xbox installer so could we temporarily revert the page to how it was until I can get temhil to make the appropriate changes to his code.  Unless you know how to change the code so it works with the new layout, in which case that would be great? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by '''User:Whufclee|Whufclee''' ('''User talk:Whufclee|talk''' • ''Special:Contributions/Whufclee|contribs'') </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

:No problem. It might have been when I renamed the headers on the page to only capitalize the first word. Not sure. I've reverted all my December 3rd edits until we know what broke. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 11:53, 5 December 2011 (EST)

::Thanks, unfortunately temhil is pretty busy at the moment and doesn't have time to look into the problem with the installer.  If it's possible to create a mirror wiki page with the changes made I could take a look at the code and see if I can work out what the problem was, if not then no worries - I have plenty of other projects keeping me busy!  If the mirror page is not an option then maybe you'll be ok to leave it as it is until temhil has some free time?  We all really appreciate you sorting this, cheers. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by '''User:Whufclee|Whufclee''' ('''User talk:Whufclee|talk''' • ''Special:Contributions/Whufclee|contribs'') </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

:::A mirror'ed page would be easy, but I'm interested in figuring out what made it stop working. I guess it's time I fired up my old modded xbox, updated XBMC, and see if I can figure anything out on my end. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 17:36, 5 December 2011 (EST)

Hi Ned,
Sorry if this is not the correct place to ask a question, I wasn't sure where to go.
I have the remote referred to here: [[Archive:Generic PS3 remote|Generic PS3 remote]] but am yet to get it working. How did you set up lirc to recognise the remote? I can't seem to find / create an appropriate lircd.conf

== userdata contents proper documentation on all folders/files ==
Please see [[Talk:Userdata]] I have added a full listing of what files/folders can be found in there frodo wise. There's not much information if any about the already raised profiles.xml and now with more folders in there the information about what exactly these other folders contain and what these files do their structure etc could be better documented. who actually knows about userdata and related files/folders that can help with this? thank you.--uNiversal 07:21, 27 November 2012 (EST)

== Wiki template problem? (off-page menu next to View history) ==
I've noticed that the dropdown menu which contains the Watch and Refresh (purge) options currently opens over the edge of the page canvas.

{{Img|https://i.imgur.com/Qfrf2.png}} This image illustrates the problem. Happens when logged in using Chrome and IE. Got a few gadgets enabled but nothing I can see that would (should?) affect the render. --'''[[User:Synergist|Synergist''!'']]''' 06:07, 11 December 2012 (EST)

:Yeah, known issue. It shifted over when I hid the default search bar, and I'm not that great at css and wiki skins, so I haven't fixed it yet. However, the XBMC Wiki is getting a new skin where this is fixed and it has a new unified look with the whole XBMC website. Should be ready for Frodo's release, so soon. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 06:12, 11 December 2012 (EST)

== Review of new usb information page ==
I would like some feedback on a page I been working on [[User:UNiversal#Create_and_install_to_a_bootable_USB_flash_drive|WiP click here]]
Hopefully the format and templates I hope to create for this for amongst other <nowiki>[[File:Note.png|40px|left|link=|REMEMBER]] & [[File:Lightbulb.png|40px|left|link=|TIP]]</nowiki> and the headers will be ok, but have a glance though and provide some feedback pls as Im not familiar with some of the info in here. I would like to ideally replace the <nowiki>{{Highlight|color=#whatever|'''Note:'''}}</nowiki> with the icon instead and TIP icon and others so it breaks up the immense spans of text that some pages have. --uNiversal 06:14, 22 December 2012 (EST)

:Well Since there was no feedback and cant be waiting forever, I went ahead and merged new page which is all now in Create_and_install_from/to_a_bootable_USB_flash_drive Which resolves the problem of no proper instructions for how to create or install from/to a USB existing. Some feedback would be a bonus ;)--uNiversal 03:32, 24 December 2012 (EST)

== Adding link to wiki article in forum post/signature. ==
Hi Ned.

In reference to having links in forum post or signature (because of character limitation being 300 and BB code counting to this limit) to wiki contained info, could you slap a couple of examples, you mentioned it was small but idk how to.
For example If wanted to link to a section e.g. [[AudioEngine#Audio Output Settings Guide]] or a page [[AudioEngine]] in forums how would would one achieve that? TIA--uNiversal 11:32, 6 February 2013 (EST)

:::Still waiting on this here. Just a reminder :D --[[User:UNiversal|uNiversal]] 03:26, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

::::Ok, still waiting on this and now found that when using = sign inside a note template it breaks the template even if enclosing <nowiki><code>=</code></nowiki> tags, don't want to be annoying and I don't understand html enough to fix it. Nor how to enhance it so it works with larger blocks of text --[[User:UNiversal|uNiversal]] 05:10, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

:::::I still don't see what's broken on it for "long" notes, but we really shouldn't be using a template/style like this for long notes. A "note" should be something quick and pointing out stuff that is easy to miss. If most of a page is all "notes" then they're not really "notes", but the actual subject of the page.

:::::As for =, you just put in <nowiki>{{note|1=</nowiki> and that will prevent all additional = from causing issues. It will prevent the template from thinking that everything before the = is a custom parameter. 

:::::The template has been unlocked for a week or so. I would like to see it kept simple and not have icons and advanced formatting. It's just an easy way to grab attention for things that can be easily missed. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 14:08, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

::::::Well the only thing it needs is alignment when its a larger portion of text i.e. more than one paragraph/line long. Otherwise its fine. However its this alignment I don't understand how to achieve. --[[User:UNiversal|uNiversal]] 17:09, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

== AirPlay DRM ==
Well, doesn't that suggest everything with DRM doesn't work? To my knowledge SVTplay use DRM, and it works. Though I guess the list still might get too long. --[[User:Udepub|Udepub]] 03:43, 22 April 2013 (EDT)

::Too late, hehe to be holding off, if it changes dramatically then I guess I'm stuck fixing all that is done so far and it will take longer to be ready content for main wiki. It's still a good template. Love it. --[[User:UNiversal|uNiversal]] 17:07, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

== Frodo templates ==
Please hold off on updating those templates. There are still pages that are using them and need to be updated. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 21:04, 11 March 2013 (EDT)

:Ideally to avoid creating release specific templates, one/several should exist where you fill in the release name just like the message and just have a <nowiki>{{FR|Release|raw=msg}}</nowiki> name (future release) sort of thing, idk, beyond my abilities. --[[User:UNiversal|uNiversal]] 10:34, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

== Possibility to remove or merge redundant Raspbmc FAQ's ==
I propose that there is no need for this redundancy and that one FAQ entry should be sufficient to avoid confusion and the possibility of the two offering conflicting info.  I would like to have some time to complete one of these entries with some info from the other and then have one removed.  I don't know if this is possible or acceptable, so any guidance here would be appreciated. These are the links I am concerned with.

== Linux FAQ Edits 2nd Feb 2014 ==
Ned -

Okay, I've done some work to at least re-format and tidy up the Linux FAQ page. I've tried to leave the content "as is", but reflect the formatting and syntax that I see elsewhere (e.g. use the FAQ template instead of <nowiki>== HEADINGS ==</nowiki>).

Now, I'm aware that there's no apparent save-to-draft or share-as-a-preview function, so I've made changes to a live page as part of my induction, which isn't ideal. Sooo.... can you take a look, please, and either offer me some coaching or wilfully stamp all over my changes, please. I'd rather get the feedback now, before I go off to edit anything else, plus any reversions are easier now than they would be once other folk come along and make changes on top of mine.

Cheers,

Ian --[[User:Prof Yaffle|Prof Yaffle]] ([[User talk:Prof Yaffle|talk]]) 10:00, 2 February 2014 (EST)

:Looks good. As far as showing off drafts, I normally make a sandbox page in my "userspace" like this [[User:Ned Scott/Sandbox]], and just keep reusing the same page, or sometimes making additional sandbox pages and numbering them.

== Questions re: Creating new How-To:Install Kodi on Fedora 21 using RPMFusion packages ==
Hey Ned - I'm nearly finished initial creation of a new HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Fedora 21 using RPMFusion packages, and I wanted to quickly ask how you recommended wiring it into the overall Kodi wiki when I'm ready. I'm guessing you'd prefer me to link to it from [[HOW-TO:Install Kodi for Linux#Fedora]], but since it's my first contribution (and actually my first shot at writing a wiki page) I wanted to double-check first. Also, is it enough to create that one link and add the appropriate category at the bottom? Or are there other steps I need to do to introduce a new page? Lastly, since it's brand-new content and I'm new around here did you want to review it first for appropriateness / style / wiki-consistency? Thanks!  -- [[User:Wirerydr|Wirerydr]] ([[User talk:Wirerydr|talk]]) 23:34, 7 January 2015 (EST)

:Awesome work! It should be enough to add the link to [[HOW-TO:Install Kodi for Linux]] and add [[:Category:Installation]], [[:Category:Linux]], and [[:Category:How-to]], but if you see other places where you think someone might be looking for Fedora instructions, feel free to link it there as well. 

:We don't have a lot of strict style guidelines, so no worries about that. If I or someone else sees something that should be adjusted, we'll just do that eventually, but feel free to tell people about the page and add links at any time. The wiki is always a "work in progress", after all :)

::Hmmmm...even MORE weird, I tried changing the skin to the XBMC2 just to see how it looks rather than Previewing the skin and it wouldn't load at all...lol. Fortunately, I had opened the Prefs in a different tab and I had another window with the prefs page loaded so I could go back to the regular XBMC. But I was worried for a quick minute...lol. Ok, just finished an 11 hour shift. So, I'm calling it a night. Take care. -- [[User:MisterVapor|MisterVapor]] ([[User talk:MisterVapor|talk]]) 01:51, 29 December 2015 (EST)
