Black Glass Nova Skin 1.2.0 (1 Viewer)

Hi Tgx,

excellent work!! But I found 2 bugs in the skin. They were already there in the previous versions.

First one:
- When I play a movie and the pause the screen, some info is a little bit of screen.

Second:
- When I'm watching TV and press the home button, I go to the home screen. But when I press stop now, all the icons are gone.

Keep up the good work!

These are Mediaportal bugs or VideoCard driver bugs.
I can see them when i use VRM9 renderer instead of EVR renderer under Windows 7.
If i use the EVR renderer everything works fine.

These issues should occur using the Blue3wide skin too or any other skin.

Thanks

Ok, thx.

Are Mediaportal devs aware of this bug and are they doing something about it?

I do not know...

I don't know if this happens only in Windows 7 or it happens in Vista and Xp too. I think that in Xp everything should be ok, as nobody has complained about it so far.

Is there a good reason for not having EVR enabled under Win7?

Great work TGX! Menu is nice too, but I'm sticking to the old one
I think I found a bug, at least I think it's a bug, shouldn't be because I'm using the 1.1 basichome. Every plugin I start, starts by showing the hidden menu if it has got one. For instance, My Anime2, Moving Pictures, MPTVseries all show the left menu which slides off the screen before you can actually use the plugin. This isn't the case in 1.1

This was due to new improved menu system. The thing you are seeing i think is due to the bug in MePo code, mantis 0002867: Hidden animations all execute on windowopen - MediaPortal Bugtracker

Okay, but why didn't it happen with 1.1 then? That version didn't have this issue.

 

[SilentException]

This is not issue, it doesn't affect any functionality.. It's just slight annoyance, if that.. For now, you should just ignore it

Old version had some other issues with the hidden menus..

The new menu system introduces the sliding out and fading out effect. This is a thing i've always wanted to implement from the beginning, but i could not find the right code. Now, i think that i've found it, but it displays that annoying effect on the opening of the screen. Furthermore, from a coding point of view, it's a smarter and more linear approach than the old one. The old menu system had many other problems. I prefer the new one, hoping the bug SilentExcept is quoting will soon be addressed!

Thanks
