@ge2301 can you please commit your changes into the ApolloOne_v3 branch (https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/tree/FEAT_ApolloOne_v3)?

I know you are working on your other skin, but I'd like to get also ApolloOne done (or at least improving it)

You need to tell me how to use TortoiseGit. I have no idea how it's connected to a branch and where I have to enter my username. Those infos should be entered sometwhere, but couldn't find it in settings. If you could shortly explain it by pm, I'll commit everything of course.

Progress of Apollo One depends on the tasks I receive. I have no mockups for image, series, audio, ...
As mentioned I will do what I'm asked for, but not try things by myself

You talk about my changes to HomeMenuModel from today?
I can add them to FEAT_ApolloOne_v3

They are for the skin BlueVision², I also need to create a branch for that. I think Morpheus ment the visual changes (alignments and coverflow view)

Use movies as a template for all of the above as they should follow the same design but obviously some elements will change so if you tell me wat your working on next i will create a mockup for it.

@osre told me how to use TortoiseGit and I comitted my changes to Apollo_v3 branch. Please check and let me know, if I did it correctly

I think it would be better to have mock-ups for the audio part. The covers should be in square format I guess. Accordingly the grid view can change (no. of columns and rows). Also there is currently no star rating, so I need to know what shall be shown for the focused item in list view.

I have rebased ApolloOne upon dev branch right now. Changes like EventManager rework are included now.

Hi there!
I just rebased my Development branch to the latest dev branch - and although that one does not contain all the goodies from the Apollo branches, yet, I'm fairly impressed! For me it looks like we're heading towards a new default skin for MP2 - good work!

I just stumbled upon one issue and I'm not sure if it is related to this skin or to our FanArtService (but I can only reproduce it with Apollo):
When you freshly start the MP2 Client and go to either the Video or the Movie section (same for both, but make sure that you actually see Video/Movie thumbs on the left side, not "folders", e.g. by setting filter to "show all") and then for the first time highlight (not click) one of the small thumbs on the left side (no matter what view is selected), then the big thumb on the right side will first (maybe for 0.25 or 0.5 seconds - so very short) show one thumb and then immediately show another thumb. The second thumb then stays.
When you then highlight another small thumb on the left side, the same happens for the big thumb on the right side.
When you then highlight one of the small thumbs on the left side, for which the double-big-thumb thing already happened before, it will not happen again and immediately show the second big thumb.
As soon as you quit MP2-Client and restart it, you can see it again even for those MediaItems that were highlighted already before the restart.
It looks a bit as if the "get me a random fanart for this item" action is triggered twice, when it's called for a given MediaItem for the first time after MP2-Client has started.
Nothing in the logs about it - neither on client nor on server side. The server side by the way only shows this entry once:

[2015-02-22 12:42:36,816] [3282177] [81  ] [DEBUG] - MovieTheMovieDbMatcher: Try to lookup movie "Eyes Wide Shut" from cache: True

although the client for this movie did show the double-big-fanart-issue.

Really only a minor issue, but I wanted to mention it.

The second thumb then stays.

I can confirm this "problem". It is not coming from the skin related code, since this is just referencing to the fanart handler.
On the other hand I did not realize similar in Titanium skin. But in titanium skin the fanart is moving and the loading time might be longer than the short flickering time of another pic we see now, could be a reason why it's not visible there.
