BleazleWide Skin V 6 (1 Viewer)

[Cressari]

Hello Bleazle

Thanks for this great skin its my absolute favourite, i use it since beginning. I have a little Problem with the modified windowplugins.dll. When i use it, i cant see any video anymore, list is empty. Copying the saved "old" windowplugins.dll back, all videos are back. Any ideas what i do wrong? OK i write this before drinking the first coffee, perhaps i do wrong anything

Thanks an read u / Cress

Hey Bleazle,

thanks for releasing V6.1 and even including the sysinfo and drivespace plugin!

Man, that's what I call a really fast customer service: Less than 24 hours from suggestion to implementation



Just a little hint for the future versions:
I know that nowadays nearly noone is using teletext. But sometimes I do.
In the actual svn (which I run) the teletext has been improved to become more readable. It's now up to the skin authors to set size, place and aspect ratio correct. Look here:

In Bleazle skin teletext now looks a little bit displaced. No big issue and I helped me out by copying the myfsteletext.xml and the myteletext.xml from Blue3wide into BleazleWide folder. As I said, just a little hint

6.1 looks great... Seems to be missing mymusicplaylist.xml though. Copied the file from BlueWide3 in the meantime, which works fine.

DAMN! That's no good! Thanks for pointing it out!! I can't understand what happened because the file is on my HTPC but I've obviously managed to "loose it" during the process of transferring/zipping and uploading I've attached it to the first post of this thread and I'm currently uploading V6.1.1 (there are no other differences so if you've already got 6.1.0 just grab the mymusicplaylist.xml file)

..When i use it, i cant see any video anymore, list is empty. Copying the saved "old" windowplugins.dll back, all videos are back. Any ideas what i do wrong? ..

No I'm not sure If the new windowplugins.dll is working for you you should get the attached views: first one is when you are looking at drives (or folders) which shows no IMDB info and the second one is when you are focused on a file which has IMDB info. Using the standard MP windowplugins.dll is fine, just not as good as the one geichel has made - at least you kept a backup copy of the original!!

Imagine what I could do if I was paid to do this stuff!! You were lucky your post came at the right time so I figured I could fit it into the next release

...I know that nowadays nearly no one is using teletext.

You're right there...

No problem , I'll sort it out for the next release (after 1.0.1 comes out)

@ Cressari & Cuitlahac You guys are the quickest voters out there! (you're actually supposed to check the skin out and make sure you like it first ) I always vote (and comment if required) on skins and plugins that I like because I think it helps everyone else decide what's worth trying out. Seeing a skin which has been downloaded thousands of times but it has no votes doesn't tell me anything. Thanks for taking the time to improve the MP download repository (and I'm sorry about having to upload V6.1.1 which will delete your comments and votes!)

OK, time I did some work.

EDIT: Aaarrrghhh!! This is really frustrating - I uploaded V6.1.1 over 4 hours ago and it still hasn't been made available on the MP site in the meantime over 200 people have downloaded V6.1.0 with the missing XML file, but only 3 have downloaded the file from the first post (I've put a comment telling people they can download it if they don't want to wait until V6.1.1 is available).

Hi Bleazle
Thanks once more for all your efforts. That whoever is responsible for approving changes doesn't work as quickly as you is frustrating, I know, but no one will blame you. Maybe it's just better not to announce new versions until they are completely available.

As one who downloaded v6.1.0 before reading the Bleazle thread, can you confirm that if I add the missing xml file I have everything.

Yep, very frustrating. I guess the people that do the "approving" are in Germany and probably sleeping right now - it's been nearly 10hours now and V6.1.1 still isn't available Maybe someone needs to be given "approval" rights on the other side of the world??

Re: Announcing V6.1.0. As far as I knew it was complete; I copied the files from my HTPC (on which I was playing music last night AFTER uploading 6.1.0) but somehow I managed to delete that XML file I still can't see how it happened but never mind, can't do anything about it now..

..As one who downloaded v6.1.0 before reading the Bleazle thread, can you confirm that if I add the missing xml file I have everything.

Yep! - nothing else has changed. I only changed the version number to 6.1.1 so that when it is finally made available people will see that there is another version out and take a look (if they've downloaded 6.1.0) . I've put a note on the download page that directs people to grab the XML file from this thread if they want to, to save them having to download the whole skin again.

Hallo Cressari,

some questions from my side, so that I can analyse your problem:
-Which version of MediaPortal you are using?
-How are your movie files organized on your harddisk?

(For example: \Movies​

Moviefile1​

Moviefile2)​

-Can you please provide any logs?

Regards,
Gerrit

hmmm, is the "TVSeries.FanArt.xml" also missing??

Yep - I've just checked and it sure is "Luckily" (after 15 hours!) V6.1.1 still hasn't been made live. I'm going to compare the BleazleWide folder from my HTPC to the copy I moved to my laptop to upload from and when they match I will re-upload it.

After I've done that I'll add the "TVSeries.FanArt.xml" file to the first post of this thread so you can download it - check back in a bit..

Thanks for pointing that out

Hi Gerrit - any luck on removing the year "1900" and the runtime "0"?

@ p13man if you use TVSeries you'll want to get the TVSeries.FanArt.xml which I've just added to the 1st post of this thread.

V 6.1.2 is currently uploading - 10 minutes after 6.1.1 was finally made live Aaah well these things happen I guess.

That's enough MP "stress" for me for one day, I'm off to bed!!
