Another MCE-Clone - Download available (2 Viewers)

[Inker]

As MP evolves there are several issues with this skin right now. I also noticed that it freezes at times (especially in music) with the latest cvs'es. Mostly I've found that this is mostly related to new xml files being used as features get added/changed.

I will hold off with a new release for new, as I feel there are heavy changes going on that would require a new release like every week.

However, you can easily fix this yourself for now. Just copy all the xml files from the MCE skin and paste them into the RealMP dir. Answer no for everything it wants to overwrite. This way you will have all the newly required xml's in the directoy. Some of them may look a bit weird, but it works for now and works with all new cvs's.

Once things have stabilized a bit I will release an updated version, that should also adress all the bugs mentioned before.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi Inker,

I've updated mytvprogram.xml:

Maybe you would like to put it into the zip-file of RealMP?

If someone would like using it, just download here, unzip and overwrite mytvprogram.xml in RealMP folder:
mytvprogram.xml

Also made an update for MCE-Skin and it's in the patch-list at SF:

Regards

Thanks ralph, will update tomorrow...I finally need to put an updated version online ;-)

This one might even go 16:9 since I'm getting a new TV....put no promises just yet, have to figure out how much work it really is first

Yes, there is a problem with at least a mymusic GUI crash in the latest CVS (possibly other too). I copyed videooverlaytop.xml from the mce skin dir to realmp dir. That surely improved things. Check your error.log, it will list the skin files MP is missing. With some luck a simple copy paste does the trick.

Sorry for being so blonde, but has there been an update to this awesome skin since 08/January/2006 ?

It is currently being overhauled and converted to 16:9. While I'm not developing the 4:3 skin in particular anymore (we need more 16:9 skins, already have lots of 4:3 ones) a quick test has shown that the 16:9 skin can be used on 4:3 or one can simply replace the gfx if desired.

Like last time, I cannot say anything about a release date. I already use the skin on my HTPC and it is very usable already. So I estimate another week until a first public release.

While it is based on my original skin, there are differences once again. I was told however, that the skin looks better now and has a more "finished look" to it.

Screenshots will come in due time.

I know, and I sincereley appologize for that.

I promise to update this skin over the weekend to get it fully working with the current version.
Furthermore, I will release a new and improved 16:9 version of this skin by then.

Again, sorry for the delay.
