Help with te xface skin

habj · 2007-10-10, 10:14

Hello MP users!
Im pretty new on using mediaportal, i have been using MP for about one year now and i think it´s the bestv HTPC Software out there. I realy like the Xface skin, and i realy want to use it with the reflection i the"film strip" view, however the reflection on my MP is inside the dvd cover and the top is empty. Can you help me get the dvd box "Full" and the reflection below the DVD box. I have the same problem with the CD covers. Please help me!

You probably need the latest SVN...
Xface is ment for MP with V3 and SVN installed....

Yes that the problem, sent you a pm regarding this, xface only looks good in widescreen 720 or 1080 format.

But the plasma-tv is probably widescreen anyway, the pixels are just not 1:1, so the 1024x768 resolution shouldn't be the main problem, it just doesn't look so perfect.

I do not get a choice for cover view.
How do I enable it?

I'm running latest SVN

When you select your original default folder for movies\music etc in MP config you can go in and use the edit button which will give you another screen where you can set the view default, in xfaces case use filmstrip to get the right effect.

Is that what you wanted to know.

It works now, but some of the thumbnails are really crappy.
I've turned the thumbnail resolution all the way up, any ideas?

Paranoid Delusion · 2007-10-12, 13:57

Delete the xface folder from C:\programfiles\teammediaportal\mediaportal\cached and if neccessary download mirks "mp movie cover resizer" and point it to the thumbnails folder\videos\title (after copying it to a safe place for backup purposes) and just let it run only takes a couple of seconds, hopefully you will have nice hi-res images.

use latest svn, "rtv" has fixed the problem.
Its running now with high resolution thumbs.
