Foofaraw Skin (1 Viewer)

[bomba]

The latest version (1.0.8) installs itself into my MediaPortal backup folder (which is also under the Team MediaPortal directory). I have to temporarily remove the backup folder in order to have a proper installation of Foofaraw into the right folder.

This is because the installer searchs for mediaportal.exe, and when it finds it, it positions foofaraw around it, for example the background changer exe file needs to go in the mediaportal directory, foofaraw needs to go in the skins directory. It isntalls the fonts it used by foofaraw deletes the skin cache (xp only), It then creates a shortcut to the background changer in the start menu.

For vista you will have to manually delete the foofaraw skin cache if you had a previous version of foofaraw installed.


My guess is that the installer found is it found an old mediaportal.exe file and got confused. I was hoping to use the mpi format this time around, but I ran out of time (hopefully get it sorted for 1.0.9).

I hope that all makes sense..

I love your work!

BUT:
Mini view does not display TV for me.... anybody else?
This works with other skins (tried B2)

So it's only me? And only this skin?

Hi Sprgleknas

do you mean the video window at the bottom left of the screen? I will have to test this tonight as I have no tv tuner card here at work, do you run time shift on your tv?

If you are having trouble with the installer, you can download foofaraw 1.0.8 here. You will have to copy the foofaraw folder to the skins directory, the fonts to you windows fonts directory and the background changer to the mediaportal directory (where mediaportal.exe is) please delete any previous foofaraw cache, or use the background changer to change the background and this will delete the foofaraw cache for you.

This is probably one of the best skins I've seen. I really like how the filmstrip and icon view in My Videos. However, I'm unable to see the same layout when using the MesFilms plugin. Don't they use the same views? Thanks for any support.

How to reach "next day button" in TV Guide

Hi,

very nice skin. The only Problem i have is to reach the "next / previous" day buttons in the TV Guide.
When it is fokused on a channel i scroll up, the fokus disappears after passing the first entry in the channellist.
Is it a bug, or do i have to use other keys to get there?

Yes, the video window at the bottom left - and I am using timeshift.

Well gang I found a solution, as wierd as it was. Turns out I had to add the fascade for time.xml so that the movie thumbnail panel would function properly.

I also made a few other small changes to organize it a bit and make covers bigger. I also removed the star ratings since they were buggy and I don't use them personally.

If you have the same problem using MyFilms with Foofaraw feel free to use this xml.

Just to let everyone Know I managed to get the "MyFilms" Plugin working using the above xml file, and the other MesFilms xml files form TwoBlueWide skin.

Great Skin!!
