About the X-Factor Skin (R479) (2 Viewers)

[Yabba]

Hi again... I've installed SVN 23908 and now it works... more or less. I see a background in Now Playing and Lyrics, but in BasicHome it's black still. And I see no cycling, always the same background. Anyway it's an improve

Just installed R396 and I gotta say the improvements are phenomenal (coming from R240). I love this skin and it gets better with every release!

Thanks cul8er and keep up the awesome work!

Hi, cul8er

I've got MP crash when starting X-Factor R396. Error logs says something about BassAudio. Sorry, the log is in Russian, but I hope it's understandable. Configuration : Windows XP SP3, MP 1.0.2, X-Factor R396. MP is installed to new clean system without any additional plugins, just Moving Pictures is add.

Hi mitiok2008,

Another user had this problem (see this post https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/x-factor-316/about-x-factor-skin-r396-68714/index48.html#post525434). That user tried on another system and it worked as it should without crashing. user then did a fresh install on the system that had this crash and it works without crashing. Perhaps you can ask that user what the problem was because I don't think it was a skin problem.

best regards

Hi,

Here are the music screen as it currently looks (it now supports fanart for selected artist). I think this is getting close to what will be included in next version.

cheers

Wow, that looks awesome (as usual ). Any chance of displaying codec, sample rate etc. as icons?

Hi emphatic,

Thanks. I have thought about icons for this but are not sure what available options for these tags are. My view was that is was no point using icons if I don't have support for most of them. But if anyone can provide the most common results from MediaInfo for the tags sample rate, codec I will try to add it.

Hi cul8er!

Wowww, the screens of the music section are wonderful, you don't stop surprising me! BTW, did you notice any performance difference in the music section using artist fanart?

And as I told you in a few post before... which tag of the database is used to display the artist information? Comments?

Thanks for your work and looking forward to try this new release, keep up with the good job

Regards,
