Re: About the X-Factor Skin (R615)

cul8er,

i know it is easier said than done but i have another request.
is there a possibility that you can integrate a search option in "my music"?

in my case it would be very helpfull in some cases.
i'm now having a collection of over more than 800 albums.
and it's becoming very big.
and it woud be nice if i can do a search for an album, artist or song with a search option similar like the one in "my weather".

i can always help out with this but i have to say i'm not an expert in XML. i can make some modifications but thats about it.


regards,

montecristo

Hi dfcwolf,

Thank you for your feedback. Please attach your mediapostal.log, error.log and fanarthandler.log so that I can investigate. I use the same option as you and have no problem so I'm sure we will be able to fix this.

best regards

Hi cul8er!

Here the 3 files. I hope, you will find the error...

Thanks and regards.

    I have an odd error - when I press down to view the weather it show fine (although the last updated line says #infoservice.weather)
    When I go into the menu system (I use the images with RSS) which I have not changed from the default setup, select the last icon, and then choose weather forecast it says it can't find info for my city :confused:

    Also the MyShowtimes plugin causes some serious screen glitching - this might be caused by the plugin though, it's in process of being updated...

    Hi montecristo,

    Please install the global search plugin. It is mean for searching you music collection and the "search" menu in music directs you to that plugin.

    Hi dfcwolf,

    Please open MP configuration and under "General" you will find "Startup Delay". Set this to for example 10 seconds on startup and see if it helps. The error you get is about directx (not sure why). Please let me know if this works.

    best regards

    Hi,

    What do you think of this minimalistic basichome. The menu fades when not used and fades in when user press the remote.

    When music is played the idea is that basichome looks just like the new music now playing layout (but without the top menu). See this image

    This is all in my head right now so I'm not sure it will be implemented but let me know if you like it and we will see what happens;)

    best regards

    Sounds like a great idea. All the basichome layouts are definitely a big plus for your skin.
    Some other basichome ideas. Not sure if you saw it and if it will be useful...

    Yes, very nice. That screen with Uma, is that the placement of the menu whatever section you're in, or will that whole thing move from left to right, allowing six items like it is now? If it moves around, would it not look cool to have a shadow underneath it, like some sort of craft moving around? :p

    I have change the myweather.xml a bit so that it fits better on a German system, cuz zhe word "Donnerstag" (Thursday) is a bit to long.

    I attached a pic and the xml file.

    Hope you dont mind
