I'm not a big fan of the new watched/unwatched bar in TVSeries/MovingPictures

I like it better than the old green "new" flag, but I don't like it ALWAYS being visible. Would be better if we could have it for new/unwatched only. I also think having it at the bottom of the poster distracts from the graphics in the reflection. I think it would look better at the top of the poster.

I agree with that point, too.
And I don't know if it was mentioned before, but the Trailer-Function in Moving Pictures doesnt work. I tried to watch trailers of about 10 Movies, like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and other Blockbusters, but the only movie I got a result was Sucker Punch. I recognized an apple-icon on the trailer, so I guess Avalon isn't using IMDB-Trailers. Perhaps, thats the reason why I only could find Trailers of new Films.
Can I change that in the settings anywhere?

The bar shouldnt be visisble all the time. Ofc it should only show when a movie is indeed unwatched.
Concerning the placement: I agree with you that on top could be better looking.
We will have this fixed in the next release.

Edit: Ok, please forget about the post below. Found the solution myself. I deleted a control which I thought was only an image not referenced in the code. But ID 21 does indeed look like there are references. Stupid me... Please find attached the corrected mediaslayer.xml and tell me if you like it

Hi everybody,

I was trying to make an xml-file for the Media Slayer plugin (see attached). However, since the last Avalon skin-update it began to behave strange.

When I just use this xml-file, enter Media Slayer, all the butons on the left side are shown, although in plugin configuration I have disabled the extended GUI. Furthermore, the settings shown by the buttons are wrong. If I then start ripping a CD, it starts ripping, but I get an error when the first ripped track should be converted to flac.

I'm absolutely not sure whether this is skin related, but the attached xml file worked before the last Avalon upgrade. And there's also a possibility to solve the error: While MP is running, I change the skin file of Media Slayer to the one from the Black Glass skin. Then I enter Media Slayer (which looks strange, still shows too many buttons, but the settings shown are right). Then I go back to the home screen. Still while MP is running I change the skin file of Media Slayer to the attached one. When I then reenter Media Slayer, everything works as it should.

This all seems very strange to me, but this is really my firrst try to do some skinning - so please be patient with me

Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks,
Michael

EDIT - some more observations:
1. Instead of using the xml from Black Glass I can also use the one contained in the Media Slayer Package to solve the problem as described above. So it seem something is wrong with my xml-file; but I have no clue what this could be...
2. When I restart MP after having solved the problem as described above, the odd behaviour is back until I redo the procedure above.

EDIT 2:
I just tried to get some logs. But the only difference between using the original MediaSlayer.xml and the attached one is that with the attached one I get in error.log:
2011-07-24 16:19:34.285332 [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: MediaSlayer (CDSClear):
Anyone knows what this could be?

GreatSkin. Looks perfect. Is it possible to shów the Menu to close MP and skip always when the mouse goes to top of Display?

Question: Is it planned to have a cover flow back side in Avalon? Right now nothing happens when I press F3 on a coverflow card (MovingPictures & MyMusic).

With TV Info I would prefer to see the Programm description directly, without need to push "ok/enter".

Is it possible to modify or add an option for the "Info Screen" (Information/Text of current programm) of TV, so it's allways expanded?

Can I second Der_bub's request, I have been trying to work out how to reconfigure my remote to achieve that but if it could be built into the skin that would be awesome. My wife looked at me blankly when I said to see the program info you need to push Info, then ok, then exit

The beginning of the text on Lyrics seems to start to much on top...

Seems to be an issue with SubCentral plugin on MovingPictures. Other than that it looks great.
