Hi,

I get the the bigger info if I press up/down/sideways twice.

The last one you will get through one of the menu choices from the second image.

Hi etagure

Is this what you are looking for?

About the new TV and Video OSD;
The new thing is that the OSD will open collapsed and if you press up/down/left or right it will expand and show more info. Looks quite nice and saves space if you only want to see current time and the progressbar.

Hi,

Just to let you all know of the xfactor roadmap for next version of the skin. I plan to make a new release quite soon. This new release will not contain any new features.

It will contain two things;
* bug fixes based on your feedback from now and until the release
* I will look at all graphics used in the skin and try to improve as much as possible

In the last versions I have introduced new features and new designs but now I think is the time to stop and try to get every part to look more like "one skin" and improve on the graphics used (backgrounds and stuff, basically the images you see in the Media directory of the xfactor skin). If you have ideas please let me know by posting mockups/screenshots. For example: you may not like the background I use for the Aeon menu. Please let me know

cheers

I'm having a problem with mine (I just installed it.)

I can't go into any of the menus from the home page. I press up on the arrow pad to view the options under movies for example. The the yellow bar appears with youtube, DVD, movies etc on it. I select movies and press enter and nothing happens.

Hi Puntoboy,

The xfactor skin come with a default layout but all the menu options in this layout depends on that you have installed the propper plugins.

For example;
* DVD menu runs a DVD inserted in your DVD player. If no DVD is inserted it will not work.
* Movies linke depends on the Moving Pictures plugin. The skin does not install this plugin. You have to do that yourself. If you use myVideo plugin for watching movies (the standard MP plugin for videos) you have to run the xfactor menu editor (see FAQ thread) and replace the movie submenu link with a link to myVideo.

best regards

Hi,

here's a suggestion - perhaps make the Album/Track listing screen look more like the Playlist screen (perhaps with the album cover where the Visualization is)

Also, perhaps the backdrops in the TVSeries 'Season' and 'Episode' screens could be a little more transparent to allow the fanart to show through a bit more (like what you did with the Playlist backdrop - much appreciated!).


Thanks for all your hard work!
