Nope, its a plugin issue. Doesn't seem like there is any code at the moment to bring up the Virtual Keyboard.

I took a quick look at it and put the code in to bring the Virtual Keyboard up but had some problems in that section of code (probably the reason why it wasn't it included). As far as I can tell it was never there, I went back as far a v1.0.0.

I will look more into later...

Hi,

I just love this skin but I was missing support for two plugnis: internet and relictinternettv.
As I don't know anything about skin design in mp I just copied and renamed some files so at least these two plugins work. As long as there is not a pro solution of psycho reptile this might help someone out there.

Regards
Dieter

fantastic skin, it would be awesome if there was a 1080 version available as well then it would be perfect.

Is there any chance of a 1080 version being made?

djphatic · 2008-05-19, 17:18

Leading on from my previous post, to make this skin to a resolution of 1920x1080 can I not simply multiply all the position values and image size values by 1.4 (1920/1366 1080/768, not exactly 1.4 but near enough).

Although time consuming, unless there is an easier way to do it, I dont see any problems with it working. Some of the images may need re-working to a higher-res but in terms of xml's will this work?

Ive had a mess around with the BasicHome xml and changed everything in there relating to positions and size and it looks fine at 1920x1080.

The main issue would be updating the skin to newer versions containing bug fixes which would not have the values in for 1920x1080.

I am running this skin at 1920x1080 without making any changes and it looks fine. the only issue I have is the virtual keyboard does not display correctly.

Unless somebody sponsors me a 1080 LCD you're gonna have to keep at it yourself

How about support for MyStatus plugin? just to keep track of HD space left

----------

Nevermind, just copied the xml file from xface

teoh · 2008-05-21, 02:19

Downloaded your v2.0 release. Mediaportal says skin is out-of-date, and in configuration Monochrome is version 0.9.2.0.

Just changed it to 0.2.3.0 in the references.xml and now it's working.

And can't get TvSeries, series/info panel, when using the installer.
