I use an old editor that was free called EditPad. You can load all the xml files at one time. If you need to search for something or replace a value or text in every file, it is very easy. So if you need to change:

<width>1280</width>

to

<width>1920</width>,

you can simply enter it once and it makes a global change in every file.

Hi all.

I'm working on skin editing, I'm projecting a stand alone media box based only on Mediaportal applications (no Desktop, no explorer, no icons, and so on...).

I have to do a lot of changes in all xml files, I'm pratically realizing a brand new skin.

My biggest problem is that I need a lot of time for find corrects ID, searching what options can I use, open a lot of editors... a big help will be having a sort of index for IDs and pages, so I can know what pages are connected with other ones and do a good work with less error and full control.


Skin editors has too much problems, right now.

If anyone knows a good method for skinning, or any good utility... say it to me.

Thank you very much.

It seems if you uninstall just the tvserver and client it wipes all the settings and clears the database.

I eventually came across the TwinHan driver CD that was included with the original product. The CD contains numerous drivers for the different TwinHan tuner models, but the drivers are for Win 2K (32-bit only) and Win XP (32-bit and 64-bit). The drivers install directly on Vista, and the drivers can be installed on Win 7 and Win 10...
