Xface Skin Bug

geov · 2007-11-09, 10:47

Hi

I love the Xface skin and have been using it for a while now but I’m experiencing a bug with it that I would very much like to be resolved. When in the “MyMusic” screen and you select a song to play the ‘Overlay’ will appear in the left-bottom corner that show the progress and small visualisation etc. Now the problem that I’m experiencing is that if I go to the “NowPlaying” screen from there, and then come back to the “MyMusic” screen the ‘Overlay’ disappears and wont show up again until I restart MediaPortal. Everything else works the way it should, the music plays fine etc. It just the ‘Overlay’ that disappears completely until I restart MediaPortal.

Some info on my MediaPortal settings that might help you get the error:
· I use the BassEngine
· Visualisations are switched on
· Use the Xface skin
· Run the RC3 with SVN installed
· Windows XP, updated to latest patches.
· Latest DirectX (November Release)

Don’t know if there is anything else you need?

I think it has something to do with the new action menu. I'm using the same thing in my Monochrome skin and have the same bug. Glad you brought it up geov, I've been meaning to for quite some time

Hi Psycho Reptile,

the problem accours by using a actionmenue and nowplaying, there is a problem then by refreshing the overlay. That can not be fixed inside mp, but the solution is:

Open the mymusicsongs. xml , the mymusicgenres.xml and the mymusicplaylist.xml and set inside the xml the

<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay> to no.

then add the stuff from musicoverlay.xml into the 3 music xml.s and add for the items then the visible tags
<visible>player.hasmedia</visible>
<visible>player.paused</visible>
<visible>player.forwarding</visible>
<visible>player.rewinding</visible>

add the visible tag <visible>player.hasmedia</visible> also to the preview window and rectangle gfx.

After that changes the overlay in mymusic will be not longer come from the musicoverlay, because the overlay is now included inside the music xml´s and with the vissible tags it is steering then the vissiblity.

With that way all is working fine.

Greetings Harley
