    Just a thought about MovingPictures. The selected list object has this little box (used for air date for TV-Series). Could this hold the rating stars somehow? I'm guessing it's not possible, so if not, could you use a png without it for this screen? Long titles on top of that looks a bit bad. Thanks.

    Emph

    I'm pretty sure that's not possible unfortunately, but if anybody has an idea on how to do it, speak up :)

    Works fine now with the updated version. I forgot to update the plugins :)
    Two questions, is it easy to make MP start with the menu focussed on another item/label? It always starts with 90001, but that is one of the things I hardly ever use in MP. (I'm a total xml n00b). The other thing is regarding MyTrailers. Icon view only looks good when they're actually an icon, so in the main screen it looks stupid (no offense). I've suggested to the maker of MyTrailers that it remembers a view per section, so you can choose list view for the main section and icon view for the trailers, but in the mean time list view with an icon looked okay. In monochrome, it shows an icon for every trailer even in list view, is this possible in MediaStream?

    The ID 90001 is the first item you enter if you use the menu-generator, so this should be the one you use the most - this way you won't have to scroll that much. The ID is hardcoded in the plugin but it won't take me long to put up a configuration screen, I'll do it sometime this week!

    Sure, will have to check the myTrailers plugin again...

    Excellent Skin. Only the TV Guide seems buggy to me. The TV Window seems to be over the Guide.
    Otherwise works like charm.

    Thank you

    Here is what I see when i enter TV-Guide.
    BTW: Are there plans to skin the tv-guide more mediastream like?

    And some other things:

    -I use a Remote Control for navigation through Mediaportal. If i'm in the TV Section and want to go to the Mainmenu, the Menu dissapears completely i can only see the background from it. If i hover the menu with the mouse it appears again. Strange behavior.

    -On the first start of mediaportal the same behavior i can only see the background i have to hover the mouse again.

    -Sometimes its not possible to use the "ESC" Key to go back to the last sceen. There is no reaction. Right click on mouse the same.

    -The background of Plugins makes it impossible to read the text. maybe a semi-transparent black background like in other sections makes it more clearly

    - In the new version of your Mediastream there are additional buttons on the top for standby , close mp etc. is it possible to deactivate them ... dont need them and doesnt fit in my opinion to the skin.

    - The RSS Reader Lne in the Mainmenu goes through the whole menu. is it possible to cut it down that its only in the section image area?

    - The Weather section is in german a little bit to big for the weekdays.

    Otherwise its an excellent skin. Thank you again.

    Plugin-screen should now be easier to read.

    If you use the menu-generator it is now possible to select if you want the topmenu or not.

    Weather fixed, :D

    The RSS Reader is pretty much the same as in the original skin, but I see what you mean and will probably do something about it.

    I have NO IDEA why your TV Guide looks like that, the picture should either be in the preview window in the upper left, or the picture should run full-screen below the guide :eek:

    Nice work! Mediaportal looks truly beautiful for the first time IMO.

    I have a problem with MP-Tvseries though, my tv episode thumbnails are gone, the thumbnail area is just blank now. Now, i have imported logo and formatting rules for the first time today (the ones that came with this skin) and the logos display correctly beneath the episode but does this interfere with the actual episode thumbnails??? I'm talking about the TV episode images that get downloaded from thetvdb.com, it worked previously.
    If logo and formatting rules should'nt interfere, what settings could i try?


    EDIT: I added a screenshot to illustrate the problem. ( I resized the screenshot down in Photoshop from 1920x1080 to 1024)




    Heres a link to thetvdb.com and the image that should show in MP: Deadwood: Deadwood

    I cannot seem to open the picture on Imageschack...

    Strange

    I have made a slightly different xml for mptvseries. maybe you want to try it.

    There is a bug in the xml im not sure if its only yours.
    go to tvseries, go to a show. click remote left or right, select ALL
    now see the show name in the top, its on top of ALL.
    So you have ALL + SerisName both same location hehe..

    What version of tvseries plugin are you using?

    On mine I can only select view all by pressing info-key on the remote, but not on going left or right. I have the latest svn version and there's also not the problem you described.
    im on MP-TVSeries-2.0.3216 (SVN).zip
    i just rebooted the computer, and now i cant get it to do it any more LOL..
    Sorry for the bla bla bla... MY BAD :oops:

    It should, but for me it isn't. Maybe it's because I made it with firefox? Just guessing here ...

    It chose MyVideos as primary, although its the second to last I entered. I have a question about MyVideos by the way. I use it for Music DVD's and such, but it doesn't show folder names. I use the artist name as a folder name, then a folder containing the concert.

    I'm thinking it might have something to do with me importing the logo and formatting rules to get the network logs etc, maybe it wiped out or interferes with episode images? I'm using MP-TVSeries-2.0.3216 (SVN) and MP version is RC3.

    Looking at the details in MP-tvseries plugin now, the episode images are gone and replaced by a network logo instead. So again, is it not possible to use logorules and formatting rules and still get the episode images? If possible maybe there something wrong with the formatting rules?

    FYI I don't think downloading of episode images is a default setting in MP-tvseries, i think i ticked a box for that long ago.

    I updated Mediaportal to latest SVN but it did'nt help.

    I played a bit with the TV-Guide and if im going to select a tv-program to get detailed information and go back via "ESC" the TV Window is gone and i can read the TV Guide.
