[QUOTE="The Solutor, post: 1210074, member: 129024"] @[B][SIZE=4][URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/ge2301.145639/']ge2301[/URL][/SIZE][/B] Hi, nice to see your WMC Skin work. I'm actually one of the 4/5 people who cooperated to port WMC on W10, to be exact I'm the first person in the world who had it working, I'm also the author of the WHS 2011 port and of the latest WMC 8.8.1 installer. That said I'm not an integralist and I always hoped for a plan B on Mediaportal (or Kodi) so your work is very welcome. Back to MP and the WMC skin I tested it briefly and I have to report few things. The poor usability trough the mouse is IMO one of the main reason to use WMC over any competitor. Your skin improved a lot the Mouse experience putting it almost on par with WMC, But 1) Most important from my POV is the missing sliding orb when a video or TV is playing ( there isn't an obvious way to go back using the mouse) 2) Same as above the (CH)+ (CH)- Buttons are unreliable, sometimes are completely missing, sometimes are not clickable, and they seem not working at all on lower resolutions displays 3) Slightly less important is the mouse functionality on the guide page: Expected: a left click on a program should switch to that channell a right click should bring the switch channel /recording menu Actual behavior: a left click triggers the menu 4) Aside those which are more stringent problems, I have to report that the skin is not well adapted to resolutions lower than full hd, and for aspect ratios different than 16/9, where the GUI of the real WMC still looks perfect. Probably not a problem of the WMC skin itself, but still something that would be nice if working properly. 5) Not tested thorougly, so I'm not sure if the problem comes from the skin or from MP2 itself but the 14/9 zoom doesnt work properly in MP2 (that's a great feature of MP1 and would be great to see it working on MP2 as well) 6) Last thing, keyboard shortcuts (a lot of them are missing, and they are very useful especially in combination with Eventghost) In short the WMC skin is a great work which needs wery few steps to be practically perfect, and to allow MP2 to replace effectively the WMC, at least outside the US (where the latter is still mandatory because the Cable Cards) Have a nice day, and if you need some help on testing something I'm you have just to ask.
