I do have one issue, but I don't know if it's related to the theme not being native 1080p or due to the videodriver or something. In the scrolling text areas e.g. in My Movies (imdb info) there's some 'pixelation'. Between the lines, I see random white dots, which shouldn't be there. It's not really bothersome, but I was wondering if other (1080p) users have this issue too.

Could be that you didnt install the GeoSansLight font or you did after you started MP. Try clearing the skin cache and see again.

I have a 1080p set, and get the pixelation around fonts.

It happens everywhere, and I've never been able to figure out why. I've done multiple clean installations to try and resolve with no happy outcome.

It's definately not a machine spec issue, as i'm running a reasonably nice setup (Intel 8400, 4gb ram, 8500GT).

I'm almost convinced it's an issue with the font itself, rather than a problem with the skin or drivers.

I also have the pixelation around fonts (Indigo). Font GeoSansLight is installed, the Skin-Cache was deleted several times since skin-installation.

    And you have a 1920x1080 resolution as well? Maybe there is a problem with the scaling of the skin then, since I'm not the only one.

    So maybe it's resolution related. I guess it's the font, since you're using Indigo and I'm using Monochrome. It's not really bothersome, but a fix would be nice. I wonder if non Full HD users have the issue as well ...

    I guess this what you guys are talking about, i've posted it in skin thread.

    I have a lot of dots that look like dead pixels on the info text, but not in all, its graphic card driver related or do you think its skin related?

    For me it didn't do the trick ... I saw your post in the skin thread as well. It's funny, because in Moving Pictures (which doesn't have a monochrome skin so I use the generic skin) I have no pixelation whatsoever.

    Instaling DX9 didn't solve the problem.

    Even in 1st SS have dot's, under the movie title there are some dots.

    I don't understand, i have formated my pc this weekend and before i didn't notice the dots, i think before i didn't have dots at all.
    The only diference is that before i was in vista 64, now on 32, and the vga drivers are updated, maibe try to rollback the vga drivers.

    EDIT:
    The problem its font related.
    When you download this skin in the folder font there's a XML file named (fonts), then do this:


    From Monochrome instalation instructions

    If for some reason you don't like the new font:
    -----------------------------------------------

    1) Copy the fonts.xml from the Font folder into your to your MediaPortal\skin\Monochrome folder.

    2) Delete the cache folder in : ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache (Vista)
    Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team Mediaportal\Cache (Windows XP)

    I Like it, but it's not working good

    Hello, I read some previous posts but I didn't understand if someone did it or worked on it. I'd like to ask you if there will be the chance to interface the MP-TV series plugin with TMDB also. I don't say to eliminate the chance to keep data from TVDB, but at least the option to choose to switch to TMDB or (why not?) other sources.

    I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled.

    I have not experienced that myself, and I don't know of any reason why that might occur (but my knowledge of how TV Server works is not extensive). It is strange that you mention this because there are now four DVB-T channels in the UK that behave in the same way (this is new for the UK). I think that these might be some sort of...

    Well, there is nothing wrong in the log. I have personaly tested the bitstreaming after DVD resume, and I can confirm that the LAV audiodecoder shows status 'bistreaming' on the output. What is your LAV status?

    So not 100% sure if this is a MyTVSeries or FanArt issue, but the episode thumbnails always revert to the series default after restart. If you go to an episode and open the options and pick choose artwork then choose episode thumbnail it shows the correct thumbnail and says it is remote. Click on it and it goes local instantly and...
