AW: Avallonis (An Avalon MOD)

First of all thank you, cul8er! You did a great job as far as I can see!

Do I have to deselect the installation of plugins when installing Avallonis if I already installed them with Avalon?

    Hi xpe,

    You should install these plugins with this installer. It will update the version of the required plugins. If you use old versions of fanart handler or latest media handler the skin will not work.

    AW: Avallonis (An Avalon MOD)

    Thanks for your help!

    Two small things I noticed with the OnlineVideos skin:

    - When I select a stream and MP starts buffering until the default 2% of data is buffered, there is no label showing the percentage of already buffered data while I'm waiting for the video to start. Avalon originally didn't show this info either, but I fixed it with the mod of ibmonkey (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/823490-post82.html). It seems to me like this is already inserted into myonlinvideos.xml but I cannot see it anywhere on the screen!?

    - Would it be possible to include the progress of buffered data into the OSD as it is in the Default(Wide) skin? It has a second progress bar behind the one showing the current video position to show the status of buffering.


    Nevertheless, it's already great skin / mod and I'm pretty sure, I will keep it.

    A BIG thanks :D for your work on this mod. It is simple,function and elegant. It has replaced Backdrop in my living room and I think my wife will love it.

    Edit: In MyFilms when a select 'Play Trailer', it gives a popup to select from online providers and after selection popup sating that it requires Onlines Videos 0.29. I have 1.0 installed.

    Hi,

    Which plugins are supported? and which versions?
    Same as Avalon. Only FanartHandler and LatestMediaHandler are different and they are installed by the installer.

    cheers

    A few observations.
    The context menu for music, the Music Video link is not highlighted when selected (it goes below) but the link still takes you to mvcentral.
    The OSD in mvCentral shows a thumbnail for a tv Series. (no relation to the video being played). The next video it show the correct thumb. So maybe there is nothing wrong.

    I'm not sure this is a skin problem but will check (could be a MyFilms issue), thanks for reporting.

    I was so enthused when I found the Avalon skin as it seemed to be so perfect for my needs and taste.

    Then I installed Avallonis and if I had a tail it would be wagging.

    What a well crafted mod on top of a beautiful skin. It builds well on the Avalon base and whilst I have only just installed and tested it I have seen enough to appreciate its great functionality and aesthetics.

    I will comment later with any suggestions I can think of and in the meantime I will just say thanks again for your work and sharing it with the community.
