Blue Vision (9 Viewers)

Does it look better like this?

indeed. Simply fits better to the 16:9 backgrounds.

Exactly those changes I have done manually to Apollo One and it's working nevertheless. So I think this can not be the cause for this issue in Blue Vision...
If it helps, attached is the Apollo One plugin directly zipped from my MP2 Client.

You have only changed the line for "movie" as MJGraf wrote in his post. The code for "series filter", "video" etc. is still with {binding SimpleTitle}. Therefore it is still working

I'm using a Banana Pi for downloading and serving my music (my own "Server Farm"). It is up 24/7 and uses 2 Watts...

Yeah, I saw your project. I had running rpi for nearly 2 years as a download serv, but it was for my needs to slow. The 100Mbit Ethernet was simply not enough for me. So I looked for alternatives and considered the banana pi (as it have 1Gbit netowork) but then I read that the real performance is not full 1Gbit...
Regarding power consumption, you have in your server farm an HDD attached, that means that with the HDD your server "eats" 5W:

I use in my NUC an SSD and in this configuration in idle mode it draws even under 5W power:

But everyone sets its own "home entertainment system" as he wants

Now back to the skin The cover is displaying with the correct aspect ratio, thanks! Two other things:
- I think the "watched flag" is not needed in the audio section,
- the mini-player is overplaying some info.

Hi.
Can you please upload the changed code for the series grid view? The Binding Issue I have solved here for series, but I still have the small fanart there...

Hi,
I'm currently adding the airing date for episodes and running time. The infos are existing is different aspect wrappers and it's working! But the code is not finished yet, so I can not upload a complete version.
Exchange attached files and the series view is updated with 16:9 fanarts. It's a preversion only for you mediastyles.xaml is in "BlueVision\Skin\BlueVision\themes\default\styles". The other files are in "BlueVision\Skin\BlueVision\screens"

- I think the "watched flag" is not needed in the audio section,

It's needed, but the confusing thing is, that "watched" is in this case "listened" I was thinking to exchange the symbol in audio view with an ear

- the mini-player is overplaying some info.

This is a general issue, that could only be changed by a dev. Problem is, where else can you put the player? There is acually no space. As I understood morpheus_xx the player should slide down out of the picture and come back on key press.
I have to check if and how far it works.

Finally I could also add missing information in series view. It was completely with xaml code possible checking the different aspect wrappers in
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...e/UI/UiComponents/Media/Models/AspectWrappers

Means, that the 2 gaps from version 0.4 are filled now.

• Airing date (replaces in series view the year, which is not available)
• duration (taken from MediaAspectWrapper, for Movies it was from MovieAspectWrapper)

All changes will be offered for download within next 2 days together with further changes I planned.

The audio part is also improved with overworked metadata.
Compared to version 0.4 following information added:

• Album Artists
• Track
  
• Duration (format same as for series and movies)
• Bitrate
• Composers
• File Type

All changes will be offered for download soon.

Great news, Big Thanks. Will test asap

In order to overwork the picture part I need an info I couldn't gather yet. How can I load the fanart from the original image file? Does anyone have an idea?

  <Image Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stretch="UniformToFill" Margin="0,0,0,0"
      Source="{Binding SimpleTitle}">
    FallbackSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource FanArtBackgroundModel}, Path=MediaItem}">
  </Image>

Currently only the fallback is used causing a foggy FanArt since it is scaled up from a small thumbnail.
