This is a warning to anyone that uses the SVN version (google code site) of this skin. I have just commited a new version compatible with MP1.2. But to make the skin fully compatible I also had to install the Fanart Handler 2.2.2 Beta plugin. In short; if you install the SVN version of this skin take full backup of your "Thumbs/Skin Fanart" folder, fanarthandler.db3 database and the fanarthandler.dll file. If you do not do that you cannot move to use another skin before these also are updated to support Fanart Handler v2.2.2.
Read more about the Fanart Handler changes is this thread.

Download of CLR v1.2 for MP1.2 Alpha
Please read the warning above before installing the CLR 1.2 version. It will upgrade your fanart handler database and this is not reversible. This version also require MP1.2 Alpha. It is intended for use on your test system for testing the new features of MP1.2. Not for your production system. Download link.
The "new" version does only exist as part of the source at the google code site. I will make a new installer later this week for those who run MP1.2 Alpha and want to try it.
I am trying to setup nevermiss.tv and would like to use this rather than onlinevideos, but I see that with CLR I can not just add this to the menu. Can you please explain to me what I need to do in order to change the onlinevideos option so that it launches a different plugin - is it just a case of editing the xml file in your skin? I am using multishortcut to create a windows plugin for nevermiss.tv and when it's run, MP is minimised and nevermiss.tv launched. I need to use this as it has all the UK content and online videos does not.
Thanks for any guidance on how to get this working
Looking at the screens and they look great! I'm gonna wait a bit longer (for other skins to catch up on the Fanart handler) though. May I suggest that that little "flap" where media logos are placed is invisible when you use the Cover Flow for Music and Movies? It looks kinda out of place right now.
Hi Cul8er,
Can you fix the management of TV logos in TV Guide.
The format of the logos look very small!
Could you take into account the mininum 133x100.
