Harley, very nice skin indeed. love what you have done.

I found one issue for all our 'touchscreen users' out here: when in fullscreen video and you touch below, the OSD that comes in from the bottom used to have the option to also stop the movie. Now there is only the option to pause (and then start). This makes it impossible to stop the movie and by doing that go back to the list of movies...

will test some more, looks also great on 16:9.

regards,
Ruud.

It´s easyer to start with 4:3 and then convert to 16:9, then other way, so thats the reason why we have do first the 4:3 version.

..but as i have start now today with converting to 16:9, it will take not so long to have the first version for widescreen, i hope

Very GOOD SKIN

I have found only one problem... EPG has too many lines for a CRT monitor... Blue2 number of lines where better for CRT monitor..

Great Looking Skin. Thanks for all your work.

Is there going to be support for the tv series plugin in the future? Also can't wait for wide version

Cheers

I'd prefer this to be included in Blue3 by default if possible at least when the bugs get sorted out. It's very little space and would make TVSeries installation much simpler.

Hi,
Not sure if it is just me but... When playing back a recording (that has completely finished) if I hit pause (or jump forward/back), then I get two progress bars (like when on live TV). One progress bar in red shows the current position in the file, the other in green just seems to be some arbitrary length (typically about 50% of the width). Everything seems to work ok but should the green bar be there?

Also why does the progress bar displayed for videos use green for the amount played, while the one for recorded TV uses red?

Great skin though...

wonderful skin so far. i was using indigo and now i am a happy blue3 user.
atm the skin runs on my 16:9 screen. and i only found one strange behaviour:
sometime when i browse through my music collection (using cover view!) after going back one folder i cant go right. i have to press left first. after that everything works fine.
and 2 wishes from me: please keep the fonts as big as possible. even the tv guide should be as readabe as possible.
keep up the good work

First and foremost, I wanna say.....................This is a great skin. Amazing.

My only problem with it is the same I have with Blue 2, and pretty much most other MP skins. That problem is that there is no way to select both the subtitles and audio tracks from an OGM or MKV from the OSD menu (found by pressing "Y" on the keyboard, or "Info" on an MCE remote). I think the OSD allows you to choose subtitles, but not audio tracks. My fave skin is Simple MP, and that's because it has this feature.

I realize that the OSD menu is likely a placeholder, as its the exact same as in Blue 2, but whatever OSD menu is eventually added, I hope these things are put into consideration.

One other thing may or may not be skin-related, and might be a issue with MP itself, but it warrants mention if those who are working on it can see. And that is chapter titles. MKV has an option for names for each chapters, and it would be nice if MP could display the chapter titles when you switch between them. If not a name, at least which chapter number. This would also be good for DVDs.

MP already supports switching chapters during playback, but putting this extra data to use would be a good look.

I hope those responsible take these suggestions under consideration, it could only help.

Very nice skin indeed! Great work!

Really looking forward to start using the widescreen version of course. One thing I don't like about this skin though is the EPG. I can't really put the finger on what I think is wrong but somehow I feel it's hard to read as if everything is floating together or something?...A part from that I'm very happy for the moment, and the mepo doll is great!

Also why does the progress bar displayed for videos use green for the amount played, while the one for recorded TV uses red?

I'm wondering the exact same thing, I also did a report on it in RC2 section, have a look here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/1-0-rc2-svn-builds-279/progressbar-mymovies-recordedtv-45223/

Blue3 Skin -feedback

My soon-to-be-wife loves it, she thinks it looks great and have really cute icons.
- looking forward to Widescreen version.

Also: it would be very nice to get some icons for the other plugins , like Shoutcast, or at least some generic "universal" icons.

Thank you.
