Very nice skin btw! I like the looks, but would not like to have to switch of the TV before going into the guide every time

btw I use a 16:10 monitor. Not 16:9

I dont think this have noting to do with the skin. I think its a bug in the MP core, or something.
You can test to go in to the SpinSafe Nature skin folder and delete the packedgfxXX.png files and the packedgfxX.bxml file. And restart MP. This will rebuild the whole skin.
If it does not help, wait a day or two untill i have uploaded next version, hopfully it does work better.

ok, i'll give that a shot tonight.

But the strange thing is this only occurs with this skin and also only when I use the keyboard when navigating the menu (not if I press the guide button on my remote, then there is no TV displayed at all). And in the default skin, when navigating to the schedule using the keyboard, the TV is displayed small in the lower right corner. This doesn't happen with this skin.

But again, I'll update on this once I've tried it toningt.

Alright, I've tried it, but it didnt help. Can you reproduce this for yourself?
From startup it's just a few steps:
-Open My TV
-if TV is not on, switch TV on (left menu)
-now go to schedule in the menu and the TV is covering the schedule.

No. i cant reproduce this. But i have a updated version of that screen.
I often does this steps, but it have never happend to me.

Does it work in my other skin SpinSafe ? the only differens between there TV guides is the backgound.

I´m uploading the next version of this skin as we speak.

BIG UPDATE

I read belzebutt post he wrote erlier this week, about there are alot of free space when the overlay box is used as it is. When it get exlusiv space in the bottom of the screen all the time, even then it not on.
I have worked on a solution on how to make use of the space more efficient.
The solotion i had where to move the overlay box to the left corner insted on the right there also movies, files, music and so on were listed. Now with the overlay box in the left corner, i can use all space to the bottom of the screen.

I have also tryed to fix some of the ovescan problems.

Rewoked the basic home screen, removed and added some animations.

Tell me what you think of the new solution, have i chaged it to the better or worse.

Will be avalible on the mainpage soon as it has been validated.

I have read a post that the orginal admin have vacation. So it have not been validated yet.

About he EPG problem. Do you use the new TV engine? I have not updated that XML for a long time, there might be something missing there.

Is there someone else having this problem with SpinSafe/SpinSafe Nature? In that case wath TV Engine do you use.

.Johnny · 2007-01-05, 17:21

I just use the default MP 0.2.2.0

Elconejo · 2007-01-05, 19:15

it was only after downloading the skin is saw that it was only 16:9 and not 4:3.
Damm, I was really excited about this new skin. Will a 4:3 version follow?

Great work !
