View skin with out Media Portal running

wishywashy · 2005-10-28, 22:13

Is there a way to view individual skin sections (ie. just My Home) without running Media Portal? I would like a quicker way than: make a change, open MP, nope dosn't look good, close MP, rinse and repeat.

Hi wishywashy,

..you can use the plugin from smirnoff.

Have you tried the myrefresh plugin (quicker skin development sticky above, plugin download here)? Obviously you still have to open MP and the thread points out a few flaws in the plugin. But on the whole it's saved me a bunch of time by cutting down on the number of times i had to open and close MP as you describe above.

EDIT...Harley, you beat me to it.

Rock on fellas. I knew that there was something out there, but for the life of me couldn't remember what/where it was. Thanks again.
