    Confused and tired, but here goes....

    I've been using Indigo for a long time and it's always been my absolute favorite skin available. However, I really don't like the new look of the TV Series plugin in 2.5; I don't even know how to get a picture in the big black bar that now covers the top half of the screen for each series, although I'm sure there's an easy explanation for that, I just haven't found it yet.

    After reading up a bit (and switching back to 2.4) I'm wondering if there are any other views available for showing all series. What I'm after is something that resembles the old "Info Panel Series" from 2.4. It's not really clear to me what the effect should be when for example going into the TV Series plugin config and on the "Layout" tab, choosing a different Series Layout than the default WideBanners.
    Alternatively, what should happen if I change the <group layout="List"></group> to the value "BigIcons" in the TVSeries.SkinSettings.xml file. Should I be doing this at all, and if so then can the same effect be accomplished through the GUI somehow?

    And like someone else already mentioned, it seems that Moving Pictures 0.7 does not work with Indigo 2.5.

    No matter what, Indigo is still my favorite skin!

    Easy, in the new version of MP-TVSeries there's a new feature - the ability to show fan art in series view. If you enable that in MP-TVSeries configuration, the fan art is displayed instead of the black bar.

    Cherios

    Thanks, I'll try that one! Still curious if any other views are available to show all series.

    Is that setting under the general tab? I have that ticked but I just get the black background. Occasionally what looks like a test card breifly flashes up and goes, but we're talking split seconds.

    Yeah, I don't remember where the setting is exatly... but it's something like: "Show FanArt in Series View". The fanart should replace the black background and change according to which series is highlighted.

    I mean like this one in Indigo 2.4 (see attached file for screenshot)

    It seems like the different options under "Series View" in the TV Series config might give different views, but when I tried it, things just looked messed up. Maybe I should try again...
