StreamedMP skin support for Moving Pictures 1.0

Hi Everyone, for those users who are testing the MovingPictures 1.0 Beta and want to help test the corresponding StreamedMP skin updates please do so by downloading the skin update files below:

Note: support for movingpictures v1.0 is already included with StreamedMP v1.0

Default Style
http://streamedmp.googlecode.com/files/MovingPictures-1.0.1-Default.zip

OR

Fanart Style
http://streamedmp.googlecode.com/files/MovingPictures-1.0.1-Fanart (r2).zip

Skin Files should be extracted into your existing skin directory, by default this is:

WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\StreamedMP

WinVista/Win7: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\StreamedMP

Note: Its important that you are using MediaPortal 1.1.0, we are using some of the new features of the skin engine e.g. Logos (using new string functions) and Shadows.

We have also provided a download link to some wonderful icons which can be used in the skin when browsing MovingPictures categories, these have been designed by Xzener's over at MediaBrowser forums. Please go there and show your appreciation or help contribute.

To Install these category images, extract them to the skins Media\Categories folder:

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\StreamedMP\Media\Categories

The Streamed installer will package these when we are ready for the official release. This should be around the same time as MovingPictures release.

Thanks for testing.

Issue 602 - moving-pictures - Can not invoke Rate Dialog even when Skin supports it

Should be resolved in the official MovingPictures release.

We already have these:

Dolby Digital 5.1 = DD 5.1
Dolby Digital 2.0 = DD 2.0
DTS 5.1 = DTS 5.1
DTS 6.1 = DTS 6.1
DTS 7.1 = DTS 7.1

720P = HD 720p
1080P = HD 1080p
1080i = HD 1080i
Fullscreen SD = SD 4:3
Widescreen SD = SD 16:9

Each skin may do different icons, we could consider coming up with different icon packs. So instead of Textual ones we could provide a more graphical appearance.

The advantage of the way we have it now is that its very flexible and easy to create new ones. Also, each logo is consistent in looks.
