Hi Guys,

Just wondering, in moving pictures, I get the icons for divx, 5.1 etc but in my tv series, I get nothing. Any reason why? Is there something I need to do to get these?

Thanks in advance.

Also, the rotating "recording" icon is a bit annoying, could do with just a simple red dot.

Agreed, personally I think it's cool, but I can see it impacting the WAF. I was planning on replacing it myself once I put it on my production machine.

Just edit the 'tvOverlay.xml' file and change this:

<control>
		<description>rec logo</description>
		<type>image</type>
		<id>4</id>
		<posX>868</posX>
		<posY>45</posY>
        <width>44</width>
        <height>45</height>
		<texture>tv_is_recording.gif</texture>
    	<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" delay="350">WindowOpen</animation>
        <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="0" delay="0">WindowClose</animation>
	</control>

To this:

<control>
		<description>rec logo</description>
		<type>image</type>
		<id>4</id>
		<posX>868</posX>
		<posY>45</posY>
        <width>44</width>
        <height>45</height>
		<texture>osd_is_recording2.png</texture>
    	<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" delay="350">WindowOpen</animation>
        <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="0" delay="0">WindowClose</animation>
	</control>

Just a suggestion, when looking at film info in MovinPictures, the backdrop is mostly hidden by the movie info box. Is it possible to either make the box more transparent so the more of the backdrop is viewable or move the info box to the bottom of screen??

Hi Guys,

Any thoughts on this?

Hi,

There are no plans to change this. But we have a full fanart view like in MyFilms. Just move to right after the technical details tab.

Ah, shame. I was hoping there would be a few transparency's introduced in future releases to give it more of a professional look. Wouls look nice in mymusic/movingpictures/tvseries with fanart in the background.

Maybe a transparency option (on/off) in editor options?

The Movie info box is supposed to give detailed information about the movie. We ranked that more important than showing the backdrop. If we make it more transparant it would compromise the readability of the info. How professional would that be

I see what youre saying and i agree that too much transparency makes text hard to read, but just thought that it works quite well in other skins with a very slight transparency. If im not mistaken, doesnt avalon use just such a view in MyFilms?

There are also some skins that use a slight blend between fanart and sections of the screen that contain text, which looks quite nice.

Just an idea.

I just have to line up and say, - Thank you for this skin, it's great.

I've just gone through 55 pages of posts without finding anything about missing logos for video and audio, might have missed it...

I'm missing things like 'SD h264 widescreen'. Is this on the to-do list but with low priority?

The 2nd screenshot is exactly what i was talking about. The 1st one detracts from the background.

I have two Problems:

1.: Its in the TV, and when I push the first time enter, everything is fine and I change the channel. But when I changed it and want to change it again, the windows of the miniguide is half transparent

2. I dont have any series or movie ackdrops in the Mainmenu

Any ideas?

i cannot confirm this. Someone else?

The backdrops came from fanarthandler. Perhaps it takes some time until they are downloaded.
Can you attach some logs?
