Here is a version of the Guide with 12 rows that works on my 1920x1080 screen.
I also use the tvguide_slider from the Black Glass theme as I think that looks better that those big green triangles :)

I have also changed my ZapOSD to look more like the tvOSD as I don't think the ZapOSD is big enough and cuts off most titles.

    This is part mod / part a workaround to Issue 159 - mamp2 - Images scaled in music browsing - Project Hosting on Google Code

    Basically I have added a black background to artist and album images and set them to keep their aspect ratio.

    This also includes a change where the ".." entry to navigate up a level is mapped to an image rather than the default x image

    after mod

    although since the new default no image found logo has changed this does look a lot better that it did...

    Haven't done a mod, only a mockup, but here is how I would like to see BHS:
    67804d1283721620-request-multi-level-basic-home-bhsidea.png

    Description:
    - Left/right changes "tab" (group) w/the listed plugins/screens assigned to the group.
    - Here, the highlighted group ("movies"-icon) is listed, and the plugin OnlineVideos is selected ([OK] would enter Online Videos)

    Due to lack of icons, same has been used for what should represent different groups. Typically a group would be a type of category, like movies/videos, music/radio, miscellaneous - whatever the icon represents for the user).

    Box is about 16:9 and 1/3 of pixels (Bottom is empty RSS).

    Any takers? :D (Limited time and XML knowledge has stopped me from doing this)

    AW: Maya community mods

    Does anybody have a mod for 10 instead of 5 stars at movingpictures AND also showing the exact value like 7.3/10?

    I redid the basichome to make use of fanarthandler (not sure why the Maya developers did not use this in the first place, seems to me like reinventing the wheel)
    If there's any interest in it I can post (it will require editing some XML).
    I also added HTPCInfo and Twitter tickers to basichome, being swapped out when certain home (or sub) items are selected.
    Finally I am working on HTPCInfo overlay that shows system stats (free space, cpu temp etc) but since I currently do not have a widescreen at my disposal this will take a bit still cause positioning things using this 4:3 screen is a bit harsh.

    p.s.
    Adjusted the transparency of the overlay with 2%, makes this come out a bit better.

    I'm interested in this. Also if someone knows what to edit to move the main menu on the Basic Home a bit to the left (I don't use sub items) I'd be grateful.

    Attached are my modifications so far.
    Fanarthandler works but needs a little adjustment for you to work. The included htpcinfo overlay is not yet done, feel free to finish it ;)

    How to install;
    1) unzip the contents of the download to maya folder
    2) open basichome.xml in an editor
    3) add just before the control with "<description>Fanart Overlay</description>";
    Code:
    <import>BasicHome.fanarthandler.xml</import>
    (optionally import the htpcinfo and the tickers at the end of the file with the rest of the imports)
    4) open basichome.fanarthandler.xml
    5) the basic idea behind the conditional visibility being used (alongside with standard fanarthandler logic) is;
    When you want to have a home (that is non sub) menu selected and you want to display this, use;
    Code:
    string.equals(#homeitem,Home item's selected name here)
    When you like it to be displayed on a submenu, use;
    Code:
    string.equals(#subitem#,Subitem name here)
    note that #subitem# should be replaced by the corresponding subitem number, 1 for the first from top etc. So #subitem1 for example.

    In the attachment I just provided some basichome files so people can see how to tweak it themselves.
    With the logic provided you can handle most things nicely, I also used some more standard Maya ways (apparently) of deciding which home menu's selected with a control ID (117,119 and 123 I believe for tvseries, music and mov pics).
    With some boolean logic you can come a long way setting this up anyway you'd like.

    yes that is indeed what I did in that ticket. It may already be working without updating those plugins because most of it was not relevant to the plugin itself (test, some leftover unused parts etc).

    There is a conflict as you have said between WinTV ad MP TV. MP TV takes over the Hauppauge HVR-1265 card. I may be even getting more channels with it. The Titan TV worked great until last year. Now it will not run the scheduler. WinTV scheduler will let me program manually but I have to set a program for each day. If I try to set...
