aMPed 3.4.0 for MP 1.2.x (1 Viewer)

[Dadeo]

aMPed 3.4 beta is ready for testing

Due to major changes in 3.4 (see below) almost all skin code has changed. Although 3.4 beta has been thoroughly pre-tested, I am releasing a beta test to ensure I did not miss anything .

Please note, aMPed 3.4 beta:

• does not support MP 1.3.0 alpha yet
• only supports My Films 6.0 beta
• changes the structure of both revaMPed and Vintage Basic Home layouts, Although aMPed will convert your Basic Home mods for you so they will work in v 3.4, you should re-create them to enable all the new features
• is available only via Google Code downloads (until final release)

If you use aMPed SVN- please download aMPed 3.4 beta and install it before updating SVN. Once you have installed 3.4 you may continue to update skin files from SVN to get any additional fixes before final release of 3.4

Major Changes:
See What's New? for all the details.

DEVELOPER NEEDED!
Now that aMPed is a widescreen skin, scaling down to 4:3, there are many more changes and features that could be added, such as more items on Basic Home layouts.

However, Migue is no longer available to work on aMPedConfig and Basic Home Editor.
Thanks to Lyfesaver74 who helped make a few basic changes to enable v 3.4 to work with the change to widescreen resolution. However, we need a developer with the skills to help with aMPed's Basic Home Editor.
Most of aMPedConfig and Basic Home editor uses Visual Studio, although the Vintage Editor uses some WPF xaml.

If you are interested or willing to help improve aMPed, please start a conversation with me.

THANKS!

Yep thanks for reporting bkv - committed fix to SVN, but attached fixed TVSeries.xml for those not using SVN.
Please let me know if that works for you.

@ bkv thanks for confirming!

@2BitSculptor - yeah I can confirm that. Reg reported in pre test and I thought I had fixed it, but I guess not in all cases . It is a known issue when using group controls with different button widths/heights and I hope the fix in 1.3.0 solves that! For now I had to remove the graphic divider
Fixed in SVN (r1824) please verify Issue 507 in Tracker if it works for you. Thanks for reporting!
