I took the Liberty to try it out - looking really good. Have a question though: I am running Titan skin and I get a warning that I better update to skin version 1.1 - will it be included in MyFilms or do I have to wait for Titan dev to add this?
Good to know and thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I just found a bug in logo engine, uploading new test build right now.
The MyFilms Titan skin is maintained within the Titan Extended package, so will come with an update of that package.
but 6.1.0 is awesome! What version of MP are you using? We haven't been able to find anyone to test it yet using MP 1.5.0. I suspect it won't install, or be incompatible due to the compatibility changes in MP for 1.6.0, but you never know for sure until you test!Hi Dadeo, I am still running 1.5 on my test system, would be happy to give it a test if you'd like...
Hi u28151 - brave lad
The reason you get that warning with Titan (and all skins for MF 6.1.0 until they are updated) is because there is a new skin file required for downloading BoxSet/Collection covers from TMDb (MyFilmsDialogImageSelect.xml). Since that is a pretty major feature, we felt it was important to bump the MF skin version to warn users that their skin files have not been updated yet. It's a pretty easy change for skins to add the new skin file (it's not that complex!) and we did give them months of warning, but understandably skins don't update until features are 'stable'.
Yeah, I tend to live dangerously... Now it appears every time I startup MP, and since there is a bug resuming MP from standby I must restart MP during autologon on my media user on all my MP Machines in the household - I would really like an option to depress this warning - if possible. Since I live on the edge I also run on the latest available MP version, 1.8.0 Pre release.
Actually months ago when we released the features in test mode in 6.0.3. All skinners can update their skin files in advance by using testmode (like I did for aMPed
) And we had a conversations with skinners and testers. We also added to Skin Changes in wiki last July 2013! (Skinners are supposed to subscribe to updates to that page). But we spaced out about bumping the skin version due to the new download collection covers dialog until recently So we may remove that for final, not sure yet. It's a crap shoot - experienced users hate it, new users get confused when their skin doesn't do what release news/docs say. Personally I tend to 'err' on the side of new users cuz I know experienced MP users will figure out everything, or ask until they do! I hope that gets fixed for 1.8.0 final!
