help with My Videos - movie graphics disapper (1 Viewer)

[CUE]

Last night I used MP config to fill in data for "My Videos" collection from IMDB. Worked great and I configured the view to be "Shares"... Movie Graphic on left side with description below and field data to the right of graphic (director, Genre, Year, etc)...

I love this view and I would like to keep it but once I leave "My Videos" and return... The graphic view of the movies, description and some fields are blank. If I change the view to Icons, etc... the graphics for the movies does appear. No matter what I do, the only way to get the view back that I like is to exit MP and restart the program. But again, it only works the first time I go into My Videos and disappears afterwards.

Any suggestions would be appreciated ... as I said... I really prefer this view.

Well... I determined it's MP default blue 3 skin... I changed the skin to Monochrome MCE 1.5... though when I start MP with this skin I get a message about it not being updated, etc... but it still works. And I don't have any problems with the IMDB information and graphics disappearing...

Darn!!!! ... I really like MP's Blue 3 screen... Could it be that the problem exist on wide-screen TV's?

Oh well... guess I'll be looking for new skins...

Seek and ye shall find...

I wasn't aware of a Blue3 skin feedback forum... it appears someone else had this problem and there are alternative Blue3 skins that might resolve this isse. I'm going to try this solution tonight.

No Good... this does appear to be a bug and it was reported... so I'm back where I started and asking my original question...

Is there a way to restart MP from within MP???
thanks!
