[QUOTE="ltfearme, post: 1058944, member: 52219"] Found the issue, for some reason this fails now when being evaluated by the skin engine: [CODE] string.equals(#Play.Current.thumb,) [/CODE] This means check if '#Play.Current.thumb' is empty (because the value after the comma is an empty.string. Now I have seen some wacky expressions omitting the comma when checking for an empty string: [CODE] string.equals(#Play.Current.thumb) [/CODE] What do you know, it works! It should be an epic fail in my opinion as that is not a valid expression. I have no idea why the above expression no longer works in MediaPortal 1.6...and you know what's even weirder? It only fails when used in BasicHome, it works in other overlays !!!!!. [B]Solution:[/B] 1. Edit the file [I]common.basichome.overlay.xml[/I] 2. Replace "[I]string.equals(#Play.Current.thumb,)[/I]" with "[I]string.equals(#Play.Current.thumb)[/I]" [/QUOTE]
