Impossible to nail it down. No errors - nothing. It only seems t appear when resuming from standby - if a reboot is done also amepd is working fine. I also recognised that the tvservice hangs. But as told - there are no errors in the logs. I would assume it's not aMPED's fault - only I have seen it first come up after installing the skinupdate over the pluginmanager.

Thanks for testing that Markus! By plugin manager do you mean the Extensions plugin (which displays the orange 'MPEI Update(s) available' Icon on Home screens?). If so I can try to test that and see if I can reproduce the problem. I can't think why it would happen, as aMPedConfig will automatically restore your previous settings for aMPed on install, but you never know!

Anyway - looks very good. Only thing are the Option Menues (VS, Subitles and so on) - as some of them start in an area where your colouring is already very transparent it's sometimes hard to read (to find )

Which theme do you use so I can check it?

Yep - the extension manager is what I mean. I use the Monochrome one - and the options are set rather to the top of the info pane (not the buttons to open them but the setting itself) - so when it comes to white colored text on bright background from the picture you might have troubles finding it. Question - is it possible not to scale the coloring of the info pane down to 0% but only to 30%?.

In terms of preview window - do you plan to change this from 4:3 to 16:9? so make it vice versa as it is now? Or even make the selection automatically - depending on the source?

The scroll text "issue" is still there - what we have talked about separate lines with different points where they vanish - it's a little irritating when one times it goes to the end of the preview screen (the scrolline below it) and the next line ends in the middle

In total cool development

Well everything is possible if you have the time and patience (and skill!) to do it. I'll take a look at it. Things like that will be much easier to change (I hope) in the next release.

Yes I do plan to make it scale based on the screen size.

I cannot control that - it is how MP scrolls right aligned text with multiple lines. I will see if there is another method I can use though. I guess it all depends if I get time and want to release in months or years I really won't be able to recode the whole skin for 16:9 until I get my Wiki/website and My Films work caught up

In total cool development

Thanks!

Just for your info

Info? That's not much info to go on Markus - it's more like torture LOL! I really have no idea how you manage to get such things! See the attached screenshot and blow up of the media overlay/preview window. That is how it should look in aMPed. Somehow your overlay is too low, or the info text it too high. Of course, without knowing what you are playing (I assume live TV?) or what window you are in, I can't tell. But it looks to me like you are back to getting the issue you had previously. Something is screwing up your display of aMPed but I have no clue what.

You should know that I love to torture you - no - not playing around - the preview window is the one in the Guide screen (which looks different than the one in the Home screen -)

Pur_berger, I am just guessing, but I bet it would look right if your channels were short, like ABC, NBC or BBC..... or even call letters, like in Dallas our local ABC channel is WFAA

Just guessing tho

I am sure it is different tho in your country

OK thx, I am taking a stab in the dark here, but see if the attached xml fixes the channel displaying over top of the preview window. Just copy it to your aMPed skin folder.

Short you mean 4:3? - Yes - but that mean that the preview screen is filled (so not like now when you dispolay a 16:9 idn a 4:3 window) - so the text would be coverd totally by the TV picture.

Hopefully we are speaking about thes same thing - I mean thet teh Cahnnel Name is missing teeh upper half in the review wndow in the Guide section
