Once again I renew my request for this skin. Surely one of you skin makers are Star Trek fans.

I have no other skins besides the defaults. But an LCARS skin I would defintely download. I'm sure I'm not the only one. ;)

I'd like to add my vote for continued development of this skin. As the author of the myVoice plugin, I think they would really compliment each other well. After looking through some of the resources posted earlier in this thread, I found a lot of wav files related to LCARS, that could be used for the response to voice commands.

I've been trying to do an LCARS skin but I simply have no clue what I'm doing. I need to read up on MP skinning first I guess.

I'm sure this would be by far the most popular MP skin out there.

I don't know if anyone is working on this, so I decide to give it a try myself over the last week. Here's a short video I made of it (excuse the crap quality, check out the pics at the bottom for a clearer picture). I only did music and pictures, as this is more a design exercise, and I wanted to see what other people thought of it.
It's my first try at skinning, so please don't flame too bad.

    check out http://www.lcarsdeveloper.com/
    I have'nt downloaded anything from here so I'm not sure what you'll find.
    I believe there are animation/sound/font resources available though.

    Looking forward to seeing a finished version.

    Also http://www.lcarscom.net/

    Thanks. I certainly looked at both of those sites for both resources and inspiration. lcarsdeveloper is in flash, but at least that got me started. I also have many of the sounds the sites provide, and I'm using them in the alpha version of myVoice. The problem I'm having is fitting it all in a MediaPortal context. Things like dialogs will be harder as there aren't any dialogs in LCARS afaik, so I figure they'll end up as regular dialogs with an LCARS look and feel.

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...
