    Mepo is awesome

    I am glad mepo is back Harley. Keep up the good work.

    I actually like the Mepo in Blue3, too bad though he sometimes shows up 2 times in one screen... that's even a bit too much for me!

    What I do not like about the new skin is the font used for the MEDIAPORTAL 'logo'. Not that I can say whay font I do like, but just thought I'd mention it.

    Blue3 is looking good - especially from a greater distance - can't wait for the 16:9 version.

    Hi Harley,

    Will you be doing MEPO's for My Trailers, My News and My Yahoo Videos on the homepage?

    Also, the error I reported here Blue3 Bug with My Video Thumbs

    Cheers,
    Colin

    I totally agree with Joostzilla

    The new skin looks really professional. To bad that the mepo figure totally ruins this look & feel for me.
    I think its way to childish for a great product like MP.

    So perhaps a version without it?


    Hi folks,

    In another post I wrote that MP needs a mature skin, because I feel MP is a mature product.

    I just hated the blue2 for the stupid puppets on the screen, it made me think too much of MSN messenger crap,
    and now there is an even more stupid figure in blue3!!

    A mediacenter is not for the kids to play with, (i'll cut their hands off if they do!) <-- joke, don't take that seriously please :)) so what in earth's name is that thing doing there?

    Another thing I absolutely hate in this new skin is the 3d look which makes the far end of the listings almost unreadable.

    I understand and respect the creative needs of the designer, but usability should never be sacrificed for looks.

    I love MediaPortal for being such an open and progressive community, and thank god for Xface, but I have uninstalled RC3 and will stick with RC2 latest SVN, until there is a mature skin for RC3, so I hope the xFace dudes will update their skin to RC3 very soon, or that there will be a mature blue3.
    I just hope that that 3d view thing can be disabled for other skins, because that's a real deal breaker for me.

    Again no disrespect to you Harley, not trying to hurt anyone feelings, I acknowledge how much work and love went into this,
    but I for one am not happy with the overall design. I expected and hoped for a more mature and usable skin.

    Sorry for not being more possitive, but I am being honest, and although there are people who love this skin, I think I do represent a percentage of MP users that don't.

    Greetz,

    In the "Settings" menu you got a MePo @ the top and below of sub-menus.

    Btw: Only me that is experiencing that miniview for TV in basic home is broken? (A big, black, flickering dot - only edges are always visible TV picture. Works fine w/Indigo).

    I have other issues with the miniview as well - but this is not exclusive to this skin (works fine in EPG - but not if you go far right/day after or left/day before ---> black miniview).

    If anyone ever experiences the above, I found a fix. Removing and reinstalling MP-TVSeries fixed it. It must have gotten corrupted during the reinstall of MP. I also had to do the same with TRAKT which had some issues too that were not apparent at the time. All is well once again. :cool:

    Well that would make sense :) But I’m using mosaic. I should have disabled anything related to MePo 1, TV Service is stopped. I also found this setting: Automatic Maintenance, It was scheduled for 02:00 and wake up the PC I have disabled this now. So lets see.

    That was it! :) I had to set it to "Maintain display scaling". I think it was set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio", which added black bars to MediaPortal when playing videos that didn't conform to a strict 16:9 ratio, I suppose. Thanks to everyone for the patience and help, I can finally enjoy videos fully.
