Hi all... I'm noticing an issue with TV Series, but I don't know if it's a skin or plugin issue ... or even if this is the normal behaviour.

In all series with just one season (or series that I only have one season) I don't get a season choice screen. When I choose that series, it always jumps to the chapter list and I don't have to highlight that only season I have.

That's nice because it saves steps on choosing, but... I loose the ability to choose FanArt and also the space for the season picture is always empty.

For example, I only had Season One from "Prison Break" on my computer, so when I choosed "Prison Break" I always saw the chapter list from the first season directly. I couldn't choose a different FanArt pic because the menu on chapter list doesn't seem to contain that option (or at least I haven't found it). And the season pic was empty.

Recently I got the second season and now when I choose "Prison Break" it jumps to a screen where I can choose between those two seasons. There I can now get to the FanArt Menu. And in both seasons now the season pic is displayed.

Is it a normal behaviour? Do I have something wrong on my config? Could this be fixed just adding a intermediate season choosing screen even if there's only one season available?

EDITED : I forgot to mention I'm using Sambal's Tvseries.xml from post #241. BTW, it's getting hard to keep track of all contributions... :)

Thanks on advance for your answer...

Keys left/right/up/down is essentially the same as remotes arrows.. They both depend on the 'onup' commands. Without looking at any xml's I would think theres an ID conflict, or just some 'onup' lines that arent correct.

oh and great that you will do globalsearch, I was going to add it myself, but I never came further the making the menu item work, and add it to shares view :p Getting a 22'' 16:9 monitor to my dev PC in a month or so, that will probably make things easier(better then a 5:4 at least)

May well be the issue...was a cut and paste frenzy :) Will take a closer look at all the IDs most likley messed them up somewhere.

GlobalSearch is proving to be fun.....couple of screen shots of where I am at....not sure about placing the first menu on the right....comments welcome on this....

This is indead normal behaviour. An option to enable/disable this feature would be nice.

You can access the FanArt menu from the main Series screen. Highlight the series you want to download FanArt for. Go to the context menu and select Fanart.

The space for the season picture should not be empty. Even if there is one season and it skips to it directly it should still show the season picture. Can you see the right picture if you select the season in the Configuration tool?

    Maybe its time to put Aeon Wide into the repository as a Release, but this would need every fix that has been posted here, as the svn is way behind what is available if you go through every post here.

    Even things like focus buttons for the context menu's are suggested, but xml or png never uploaded, this can be a total nightmare to a noob trying to get this skin working without going through every single page.

    Here's another basic change for selecting mini TV Guide (now\next live tv) recording_background_focus small.png

    Looking good so far, but I don't know about having menus on the right, its not in line with the rest of the skin.. I'd rather have that default slide in screen on the left :)

    Nice work =)

    Hi there and thanks for a great looking skin!
    I just wanna ask a question that might just have been answered allready, I've searched the thread and didn't come up with a answer, so..
    Where do you guys find all those great background images? Or do you make them yourself?
    Thanks,
    Micke

    GlobalSearch screens

    I have updated these to the look and feel of this skin, got to admit not 100% happy with what I have so far, lack of full understanding of the skin engine and maybe some limitations of the plug in. That said they seem to work ok - comments/feedback welcome - I will continue to look at this and upload any changes.
