About the X-Factor Skin (R479) (8 Viewers)

Hi,

First thanks for this great great skin.

Personally I do not like the submenu being horizontal, I like the vertical boxes much more. Is it an option to make this selectable in the basic home menu generator (configuration tool).

How can I get the vertical menu within the latest version at this moment?

thanks,

Pascal

Hi

From within the MediaPortal GUI, go to the XFactor plugin. You can select there what menu you like.

Hi all,

Thanx for this amazing skin!!!, finally one that looks cool and even my wife can navigate through.
I have it setup with one folder under movies where i got movingpictures with all my movies(hd, normal,for my kids etc.)
This is not real organised, how can i have different folders under movies and use movingpictures for all of them.
Can i run more than one movingpicture, or is there a feature in movingpicture where you can seperate movies.
I have server 2008 with all my hd movies sharing, on local i have a map for movies and a folder for the kids.
Srry for the dumb question, but i can't get it to work.:sorry:

greetings,

eelos .

Eelos,

The author of moving pictures is adding categories soon - that will take care of your problem.

ok, thanks nutz for the info. i will keep track of it.

One more suggestion, it would be nice if there was a option to remove topbar (switch view,change view etc.) This would really make the skin more quiet(visually). I like skins that are clean.

I love this skin! Thank you for it cul8er.

I'd love the movie screen, below, to be a text list of titles on the left, instead of the covers, with maybe a small cover art bottom right. I have almost a thousand movies, and it takes forever to scroll when its only 4 covers in the list. I spent an hour trying to do this and failed miserable. Are you able to make it an optional view?

Cul8er,

Just seen the latest screenshots on page one, looks awsome!

But i'm a bit worried about the new last.fm layout...
I'm afraid the bigger visualization window will be too much for my system to handle.
I do not use the standard visualization, but one that needs more horsepower...

cheers,
Flip

Wow, those "golden" highlights for selected list items look awesome.

cul8er,

thnx for the great skin. X-face was the undisputed skin for me, however I just installed X-factor and.... I'm thinking of switching permanently if it weren't for these little things:

When I first tested your skin in the early versions I noticed that installing it influenced the tv picture. It still seems that it installs some kind of de-interlace filter or that it forces MP to use the WMR renderer instead of the EVR. Does it have something to do with the dark gradient feature when zapping? I know it sounds strange and I haven't been able to come up with how installing a skin could do this. This can be system related of course.

I like a 10line TVguide and I changed the TVguide XML, which works fine. However if I select a programm to notify or record, the next page has annoying overlapping text in the top bar. I will provide screenshots later.

I'm planning to do one more clean install of MP after the RC1 release so I'm still deciding. Hell of a job I really like the homescreen!

thnx for all the effort!
