Re: Avalon 0.9.6.1 Beta ***22-10-11*** for MP 1.2.x

Hi all:

Just installed this skin and I'm very happy with it.

One question though: When I select a picture for the background of, for example " movies" ,I don't see that picture on the main menu,another picture is shown !!!

How does it work ?? Tjis configuration is almost the same as StreamedMP, but it works on streamedMP but not i Avalon !!

EDIT- PROBLEM SOLVED

    Hi. On the extension gui there seems to be one small bug, when you click to view the change log of an extensions version nothing happens. I think a popup should appear at this point. It's not a huge issue but it would be nice to have.

    Also, could I ask if the imdb+ will be skinned? It's the only thing I'm missing from avalon.

    Thanks again for a great skin

    nice skin, couple of things im missing from other skins.
    - descriptions in tv guide at the bottom, easy to see what a show is without a button click
    - animated weather icons (like in streammp)
    - tv series, when in fanart mode without background, only 8 tv series shown with a lot of margin. could add more or make this configurable?
    - tv series having to push right in "list" view to see the episode information, when the fanart image is taking up a lot of space and is static.

    home screen looks funny, most of the time the dark box on the right is empty and doesnt show anything useful, when there is stuff to display its helpful, but when theres nothing, it just sits there, staring back at you...

    I think you can get show info at the bottom of the screen in tv guide by changing the number of rows in config from 10 to 8 rows.

    Wow great skin! Just one issue and one feature request, I guess;

    - When playing music, "now playing" does not always update. Ie the title of the previous song is displayed. Playing itself works flawlessly. (I'm not using playslists: just a folder containing an album, playing from first to last)
    - In the "shut down / restart..." menu on the left hand side, there is no option to just restart media portal. That would b a great addition.

    It works great with other skins.

    Really love this skin and it looks so amazing. But there is one big point why i dont use it yet. Maybe somebody can tell me if there is a solution.

    I really like fanart. I mostly use my main screen as a screensaver to display different kinds of moviepictures. I didnt find it in this topic, but is there a tweak in this skin where you can adjust the main screen to look like the bothem skin (backdrops)? If not, is it easy to adjust it on my own?

    hilfer: Weather is broken since the weather provider is not allowing our access anymore - not only with aVAlon.
    Ericjuh: If you are such a fanart fan, backdrop is probably best - aVAlon displays fanart as shown and there is no option. nocH is thinking about adding some slow animation (probably optional) I think.
