I have used 3DStudio with Vray for the renders.
This has been taken from "Media Portal Mascot" thread


Try to animate the icons as a test.

If you’re going to try and animate the normal home icons (hover images), sorry but unless there is some code change in the program itself this will not be possible. You are not able to change the file name or extension type.

But you are still able to make animated icons when using basic home as you are able to change/control this information and/or use animated sequence.

    Okay, here's some new additions to the zip of characters. My film collection, My clickmania, More messy My Recipies and a TV antennae for My TV Series - all as requested.

    :D Glenn...

    I have noticed the following with the latest batch of MePos:-

    The file "MyFilmCollection.png" should be named "hover_films.png", and the image has a white background, but I think it should be transparent like the others?

    The file "PVR_Scheduler.png" should be named "hover_my pvrs.png"

    The file "DVR_MpegCut.png" should be named "hover_dvr-mpegcut.png"

    The file "hover_my tetris.png" should be just "hover.png" (and it must be moved by users to the Tetris folder of the skin, in order to be used)

    Wonderful work......:D

    Yay. I was going to ask about the naming conventions. As for the white.. I noticed that at 12:30 last night. Will fix it today (when I'm not at work :))

    hey, i think for the boot-up menu / splashscreen you should use the mp-icon that's on the body of Mepo, would look much more modern and also more fitting to the whole conecpt, mfg mofux

    i could also imagine a dark background with the grayish mepo caracter fitting very vell as a splashscreen

    Maybe a different background colour for a little more contrast? Also, I feel like the yellow in the MediaPortal text is part of the logo, maybe try yellow instead of blue?

    Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings. Thank you for chiming in...

I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.
