I have had the same problems with TVseries but I think that's a bug in the plugin. Reading the forums it seems other people have the same issue. It normally works if you click left on your remote, then it shows up again. If this is an error in my skin I would really like to know. Tried all sorts of tests to resolve this...

In mytvhomeServer.xml, the fontsize specification was missing for several buttons.
i have added it with fontsize 14.
maybe should be added to the original version too

I have not done anything for those screens. I still use the old tv engine. TV miniguide is on the todolist.

I appreciate all the efforts yo put into the font sizes and I will look carefully on that after I have finalised this version of the skin. Right now I am finalising some nice work on progree bars and OSD's. Should be new screenshots up on monday or tuesday.

As a teaser I am quite happy with the new work...

Nice skin!
Just wanted to point out that anyone not using the Basic Home Screen won't be able to access Scheduled Rec and Recorded TV.
I'm not using the Basic Home Screen since I don't want to use Radio or Pictures and add Plugins. That's not possible in the Basic Home Screen I think...?

hmm.... i never encountered such issues in blue2 or PMIII.

i tried to find out why the tvseries.xml from your skin is constandly not showing any series, but i have no clue

Are there any clues in the tvseries.log?

these are the logs when trying to enter TV Series with Core skin.

would be cool if you could help there

Chris, what version of the plugin are you using? You have SQL errors which should never occur because of a flawed skin file. Also you are missing some log msg that should be in there.

Anyways, I tried the version from the repository and the xml is missing quite a few controls. You need to be sure to assign the same ids as that is how they are accessed.

From the first look the following controls are missing:
- Title (id 40)
- Subtitle (id 33)
( these two are the main reason it fails)
Furthermore:
- Current view (77)
- Next view (78)
- prev. view (79)

and probably others.

I would recommend copying an existing file and modify that one. I would recommend Spinsafe Revolve.

Good point! I will look into it...

djohansson nice job.
I love it. If you don't mind some feedback.

When I started the skin I got a select album dialog box that was very persistent.
Finally click the I button and the box filled and I could cancel out.

I tried the Music Videos. Love the look but the black on black focus bar was a bit hard to find.. ya I know I am getting old.
Also when I selected Favorites..sorry I have this thing from Christina Agullera.
Anyway, the favorite items go completely across the screen obscuring your menu.

Tv Series. I love it. I can read it. It would be nice to have 5 TV series banners instead of 4. A bit more symetry. sort of fill in the black area on the right more.
Also the menu while the blue focus bar is on it. You can't read the season.

Myvideos. very cool. Just notice when you scroll up or down the last row scrolls into the greay area at the bottom.Stopping at the line would be cleaner.

A teacher once told me there was no such thing as constructive critisim. He was right. It always hurts.. But man I do like this, I think you have something very cool here..keep up the great work and if you want me to shut up thats cool to..just don't stop its great
