R630 - Logs from stuttering

Did the following and nothing else
- Wiped the log directory
- Started MP with X-factor Images without RSS
- Jumped around in the menues a few times - no stuttering
- Enabled Images with RSS in X-factor settings
- Jumped around in the menues - stuttering
- Got an out of memory messages after about a minute
- Closed MP
- Collected all logs that had been produced
NB: I disabled fanarthandler yesterday to check if that was the problem, thus no log for that

Hi Perls,

Strange, sound almost like a problem with the InfoService (Infoservice controls the RSS feed) plugin. What are your settings for that plugin? Can you take some screenshots? Good that you disabled the fanarthandler plugin so that we can rule that out.

Thanks for all your help.

best regards

Still strange that I cannot reproduce this. Are all who have this problem using Windows 7? I can only test on Windows XP and Vista.

Running XP here

I think Olli14 wants it to be MORE transparent.
If so it's a 'play with photoshop' moment, to get exactly the transparency you desire

I would like to change the transparency by myself. But I don't know what jpg-file or png-file I have to change.

Can someone help me?

greetings

I've attached a screenshot of the infoservice feeds configuration page.
Weather is also enabled but otherwise everything is left at default settings.

If you get the out of memory message again, please make an screenshot of it. Also please enable the debug log of MePo and InfoService. Your log isn't very useful without debug lines

Same procedure, now with debug logging for infoservice (and MP)
Low memory screenshot included, it takes less than a minute to reproduce this when jumping around
in the menues with images and RSS enabled.

I'm using the x-factor skin on my 1920x1080 lcd tv and it looks really nice, however some fonts seem too large as all text is not displayed correctly, for example on the weatherscreen, the wind information is cut off. Is this because the skin is made for 1280x 720 or is there something wrong with my installation? I have installed the fontfiles and it has been like this since I started using the skin a couple of months ago. Have you considered making a pure 1080p version of the skin? Thank you for a beautiful skin!
