Is there any little hack or something else, that gives me the Video- Titles back on the video- directory view? Yet it shows me only the covers and gives the tittle only by selection. I have round a bout 100 Video in this directory and it makes it really bad to have a overview for me.

BR Damdy

has anybody an information regarding this for me?

    Hi there. Firstly; let me say I love this skins - it's my current favorite!!!

    That said; I have a problem that is *seriously* impacting WAF!!!!

    Often when I change channel from the TV Guide it freezes and I get the following error in error.log:

    2008-01-01 22:52:49.125000 [ERROR][MPMain]: GUIWindow:OnWindowLoaded id:13 ex:Object of type 'MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIFadeLabel' cannot be converted to type 'MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIButtonControl'. at System.RuntimeType.CheckValue(Object value, Binder binder, CultureInfo culture, BindingFlags invokeAttr)
    at System.Reflection.RtFieldInfo.InternalSetValue(Object obj, Object value, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, CultureInfo culture, Boolean doVisibilityCheck, Boolean doCheckConsistency)
    at System.Reflection.RtFieldInfo.SetValue(Object obj, Object value, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, CultureInfo culture)
    at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindow.OnWindowLoaded() TvPlugin.TVHome


    I'm running the December 30th SNV of the client and server. With Server on a remote PC across LAN.

    Any ideads??? I've had to switch skins but I'm very keen to get back to Foofaraw :)

    Hi Guys,
    I did some fixes for some minor things:
    TVOSD: Record Button was shown behind the desc. text, ´NOW shown in top Bar
    TVZAP OSD: was not nicely shown, and channel logos did not change,NOW TVZAPOSD looks like TVOSD
    DialogTvGuide (transparant EPG in FullTV) now hass correct size
    MyTvProgram (Program info) Text was not shown corrctly (overlapping)
    MyTvHome : Text was partly overlapping

    You could just test the files attached if you like

    To the devs of this Skin:
    Please take a look If I did something wrong, because it is my first "fix" attempt....

    Have fun

    cheers

    Foofaraw development pursponed

    I would like to take this opportunity to update this community where I am at. I have recently taken on some work comitments which are consuming all of my time. The knock on effect of this is that I simply do not have any time to work on foofaraw. I would love it if the community could keep foofaraw alive. All my source graphic files are on the svn. they are mostly in corel draw X3 format. I hope that when my work schedule calms down a bit I can return to skinning mediaportal , but for the forseeable future this is not a possiblity.

    Thankyou to everyone who has used foofaraw and helped me improve it with suggections xml file and bug reports... I hope mediaportal contiunes to inovate and generally kick butt in the htpc world.

    Best Regards

    Richard

    Hey all

    Just installed the new version, however i cant seem to find how to get the film strip intereface working? Anyone able to help me locate the setting etc? Im also having trouble getting to the tv guide with this new version, and the program information seems to only show occasionally. Any help is much appreciated.

    josh.

    EDIT: After changing the tvs aspect ratio it has become apparent the tv guide is opening, however its behind the tv picture instead of on top. any ideas as to how i can sort this?

    Hi!

    I just downloaded FOOFARAW_V1.0.8.591.rar, installed it and ran into problems.

    I have some major issues with remote or keyboard control of this version. Some jumps between GUI elements are not working properbly and in the TV Guide is the overlay tv (as in shown in the television main screen) shown. This overlay overlaps the epg info and causes performance issues while scrolling the epg data.

    I return to FOOFARAW_V1.0.7.3.423.

    Regards,
    MyPVR
