Re : Avalon 0.9.7.0 Beta ***13-11-11*** for MP 1.2.x
Hi ncoH,
first of all, let me say your skin is really a pleasure to use : clear, all is where you want it do be, customable and so on. A really good job.
As you can imagine, as everybody, i have a will
Under menu editor, for each menu we have two choices : single picture or fan art. A 3rd choice would be a "must have" : random picture from folder. This will allow to have random pictures on choices where no fanart categories exists... I previously had this choice under xfactor skin (really beautiful, but quite hard to use) and this gives really good results.
I was to lazy to read all the 89 pages but i also have a little problem : using movie fanart on the movie menu (the MP original one, not moving picture) does not display anything, i'm obliged to select a single picture. Not much important with a "random from folder" choice !
Once again thanks for your works

Since while I get this Mediaportal stopped error when stopping a DVD. The only thing I could find was this part in the mediaportal log. It mentions Avalon and then gives the error. Is this a Avalon bug?

Can you reproduce the problem using the default skin? If not, then this points to a problem with Avalon.

WebBrowser Plugin
@ Anyone using InfoService, WebBrowser and soon most probably WorldWeather (which has an option to choose WebBrowser) drop the WebBrowser folder in the attached zip file into the Avalon Media folder to get the home button etc shown on the 2nd picture below. The WebBrowser.xml just goes in the Avalon folder (Note: Maybe these files are installed into Avalon if you install WebBrowser after you install Avalon but I had to drop them in manually so I thought others might need to as well.)
@ Skin Devs: If these files aren't installed by WebBrowser it might be a good idea to include them in the next release?
Lovin the look of Avalon, it's a very polished skin

Thanks for your skin, I just changed from streamedMP to Avalon, and my girlfriend likes it much more !
The only issues I'm having are (I don't think these have been reported, but they are very very minor)
- When having a video playing reduced to the bottom left, the scrolling in the menu is jittery (you go down, and it shows the previous line after scroll and jumps to the new line)
- When scrolling banners in My TV series, the top banners doesn't disappear smoothly
Also some potential improvements (if you see fit of course)
- Would it be possible to show percentage loaded in onlinevideos instead of just the rotating wheel? this is very useful to know if videos are not going to launch and are just going to load for ever
- Would it be possible for music player to jump to the top album trach when it is selected in the top album track menu ?
Thanks ! And again, wonderful skin !

AW: Avalon 0.9.7.0 Beta ***13-11-11*** for MP 1.2.x
It does show the percentage of buffering in onlinevideos, at least here it does and I'm running the latest version.

Re: AW: Avalon 0.9.7.0 Beta ***13-11-11*** for MP 1.2.x
Before the video actually launches it shows the percentage ? If that's the case, maybe I'm not using the right xml file for online videos (I'm using the one that came with avalon)

Take a look at this screenshot. It's also the standard avalon xml, but I think this one is from an older version, though on my HTPC I got the most up to date version and there is also the percentage visible.
