First I like to thank you all for the great Skin, it looks really great Any chance to have this Skin for MediaPortal 1.16?

Thanks, I'm glad you like the skin.
You need to ask this question in MP1 forum I fear. I create skins exclusively for MP2, which uses XAML, while MP1 is using XML.
Due to different code language it would need to be written completely from scratch in MP1, so I see not high chances. Also the question rises, if we want to invest into "older" MP versions. Why do you want to use MP1 btw.? MP2.1 Final will be released soon. If you let us know, which features are missing, we might take them also into account for next version.

It is mainly cause of the BD-J Menu support in MP 1.16, thats basically really the only reason, but without the WMC skin, I consider it alsmost to unusable...yeah I like that WMC Skin that much

@HTPCSourcer i have no idea about BluRay things in MP. Do you know BD-J Menu and if we have something comparable?

BD-J stands for BluRay Disc Java. BD-J discs offer interactive content that is based on apps stored on the disc. Currently we aren't supporting this.

I can understand that people who own a certain number of BR discs are interested in this feature. We would need external help from somebody else to implement this. Nonetheless my (strictly personal) view is that the whole disc technology is outdated.

But shouldn't it be a player thing rather then a Skin thing? Or you want to say it is not portable feature from MP 1 to MP 2? Just trying to get it.

It surely not a skin topic, but we are lacking developer capacity. We have a long list of feature requests and ideas, the problem is that we always need to prioritize and things take longer as we wish.

The BDPlayer from MP1 already exists in a similar version for MP2, but it is disabled from release builds. I don't think that it is "stable" yet.
But users could exchange the "BDHandler" (LAV based) by "BDPlayer" (BD-J) and give it a try.

We will discuss internally how and when we can let this plugin be tested.

Could it be part of MP2.1 Final?

We are very close to releasing 2.1 Final. Therefore we won't introduce additional features at this time anymore.

Hi
Trying out this skin - ver 2.1. and it is looking good.

How do we delete TV recordings from the Recordings screen?
I am sure there is a way, but it is not on the pop-up menu; right clicking does not offer it, nor using the delete button.


Thanks
