any idea why I cant get the correct font?

I think this is because of certain characters which are not available in the correct font (maybe [ and ]). I have noticed the same thing with umlauts ä, ö and ü.

I small change to the mytvprogram.xml file - it now shows the buttons Episodes & Quality (they were hidden and misplaced). I was not even aware of the Episodes functionality before I've checked something on the wiki, so I was a little surprised that my favourite skin did not show the button for it.

Does anyone have problems clicking on a latest media entry to play on the white theme?

Ie on live tv, it lists the latest recordings, but pressing down and highlighting an item and then pressing ok it fails to play.

This only happens when using the white skin i believe, blue appears to work as expected. I'll try a clean install of the theme later and double check but it does it on 2 systems for me.

I'll investigate further tonight but thought I would throw the question out

*edit* both white and blue dont appear to launch latest recordings, movies are fine, not tested music or series.

Same behaviour on 2 different systems

Movie fanart does show up if you copy your movie fanart collection into (XP) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\movies

Also select Movies (User) in the Avallonis config.

Otherwise it defaults to TV-Series fanart (instead of movies_default.jpg)

Hi, thanks for this. Finally got around to doing it, works as expected now. Really hope that gets fixed, had to duplicate almost 1gb of data.. Seems a shame on my little SSD!

Still loving the skin.

I have not tried it, but it should work with a symbolic link as well. Just start the cmd and type the following:

Vista/7: mklink /d "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\movies"  "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures\Backdrops\FullSize"
XP:  mklink /d "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\movies"  "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures\Backdrops\FullSize"

This way you don't have to copy the files.

Sounds good, run the command prompt as elevated admin, otherwise mklink will not work.

How do you manage symbolic links? I've never done that before.. do they display in windows explorer somehow? That would definately be better. I'd still like to know why its not considered a bug though when it used to use Moving Pictures backdrops.

Thanks

You have the original folder with the Moving Pictures fanart which remains unchanged. The folder inside Skin Fanart (from Fanart Handler) is a link to the Moving Pictures folder, but it shows as normal folder in windows explorer, just with that little arrow at the bottom left to indicate that it is a link.

Hi thanks for the heads up. Learn something new everyday

Incidently.. your command is back to front.. mkline /d [Link] [Target] so it should be -

mklink /d "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\movies" "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures\Backdrops\FullSize"

Works great, thanks very much.
