Thanks Psycho Reptile for directing me to this post.

Hi guys, I was thinking of creating two raws of 3 icons each (6 big icons in total). So before I start looking into, is it any possible? Thanks.

Guys can some one tell me if this is possible or not? Thanks.

    Yes its possible. you can put as many buttons/icons on screen as you can fit!

    Thanks revs, but I'm trying to achieve double the size of icons, this will require modifications to the media file, right?

    If you mean you want the buttons to be twice as big on screen, then you can double the Height and Width and it will stretch.

    Dont forget to move them as well or you will get a nasty overlap :p

    With all the new movie-related plugins, I made a Watch Menu with buttons for
    • playing DVD
    • standard Videos plugin
    • TV series plugin (selected by default)
    • My Films plugin (based on ANT or other catalog)
    • Moving Pictures

    The Play DVD works on my test-machine, which has the SVN of 5th of september installed.

    New layout

    I sit far from TV, so I wanted large icons and labels. This layout works perfectly for me! :cool:

    Changes from original layout:
    1. Double sized icons and labels
    2. In order to fit as many icons as I can, had to lay icons into 2 rows of 3
    3. Animation, 10% zoom for icon with current focus
    4. Animation, all icons fade in/out for 350ms when menus open/close
    5. Selecting "Other" in Basicmenu launches Extramenu
    6. "Other" in Extramenu takes us back to Basicmenu

    You should be able to put your 10 favorites icons on both screens easily.

    Hope you like it :D

    Does Moving Pictures work for you? All I get is this error message:

    "Sorry there was a problem loading skin file"

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution.

Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    I was not previously aware of the "Drive Free Space" plugin, and it is not easy to find. (There really ought to be an easier way of finding plugins.) There is this thread that introduces the plugin, and this thread that details some changes to the Titan skin made by Gary Martyn (from 2013 :eek: ). I installed the plugin on my Aorus...

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...

    Installing other software, especially MP1, which is partly sharing Tv service with MP2, can make everything worse. Please upload your debug log files, if you want to solve the issue.
