Aeon Wide (1366x768) (2 Viewers)

[GateheaD]

mattsk88, did you say you have a version of TVSeries.xml that allows fanart to change while cycling through banners?
I love the design you have with everything 'down the bottom' allowing fanart to be visible, would love it to change as you cycle through from the default screen.

Thanks!

Alright, haven't seen this problem posted yet.

I downloaded mattsk88's version of tvseries, but the genre and airdate show up as "#tv.series.genre" "#tv.series.airdate"

I have tried reinstalling his .xml, but no dice. anyone help me out? thanks.

Few weeks ago I had the same problem, but I was still using an old version of the TVSeries plugin. If you are not using version 2 of the plugin, you should first install the latest version

I have the same problem regularly. It happens when i launch MP while on another skin and then switch to Aeon. I never have this problem if i launch MP while Aeon being selected as MP skin.

Maybe I've missed something, but how do I download latest build? I'm not into SVN, but maybe someone care to explain? But better off with a updated rar-link. ;-)

With Tortoise Svn (Download | TortoiseSVN ) you kan connect to a SvN location en transfer the files to your PC. It is usually used by developers to synchronize their work.

1) Go to your MediaPortal Skin directory. Create a new Folder (Aeon Wide)
2) Right-click in the folder
3) SVN Checkout
4) Url of repository: SvN Repository Url
5) OK
---
After this, download the basichome.xml and tvseries.xml which you like the most from this thread and overwrite them in your Aeon Wide folder

That should do the trick

First off let me say i really love this skin!!

As many others i too have had a go at the tvseries xml. I liked what Mattsk88 did to the tvseries layout, lowering the info panel and with the bigger banners. However i wanted it a bit bigger so it could show three banners at a time. In the process i tweaked some other parts as well.

As i mentioned this xml is based on what Mattsk88 posted. So if you want to use this xml please download the tvseries_background80%.png background image from this post.

The Aeon skin is ment for 1366x768 resolution but i was unable to test it at that resolution. Looks good at 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 though. I didn't look at the grouped view so that is still a bit messy.

To get the star rating to work add the following Output Formatting Rule in MP-TV Series Configuration tab MediaPortal Display Control.
Enabled: [v]
Format: <Episode.RatingPath>
in the following way: TVSeries\starEval(10*Round(<Episode.Rating>*2)/2).png

To remove the First Aired info from the episode list clear the third textfield for 'Episode Listing Format:' in MP-TV Series Configuration tab MediaPortal Display Control

Enjoy

Hey Sambal,

This is exactly the way I thought the tvseries should look.
Works great.

infinityloop has written this guide about svn usage.

Hey Sambal,

I like the way you changed the TV Series showing 3 shows now instead of 2.
However....personally i was thinking the following and i would like it better this way but since i have no xml experiecnce i have no idea how.

Personally i would like to see 6 or maybe even 9 tv banners and remove the series description from the first page.
When adding the shows in the database i already know what a show is all about most of the time. And if you have a lot of shows that you would like in the database you keep scrolling for ages. Keep the description on the 2nd page. so leave the 2nd and 3rd page the way it is now.

How does this idea sound? and what do others think about the idea??
