Question, don't know if it's skin related or not, but how can I focus on the 'now playing window' using a remote?

This is still not working correctly with the new MediaStream.dll. All you have to do is add the <onright>1099</onright> tag to the 801, 802, 901 & 902 controls and it works. The problem is after you select the now playing window and then go home, all kinds of weird stuff happens.

How? I added the string to the control you mentioned, but when a movie or a song is playing and I still can't navigate to it (not from the main menu at least). Would be nice if you could go back to where you were coming from this way ...

Try these two files...(Please be sure to back up your old ones )

Please update your homepage. On yor first post it says that "you can always download latest version..." and a link. The version on that page is v7

You're right about that, perhaps I should just post the screenshots in the thread and link from here...the need for an online generator is long gone anyway.

Thanks. May I suggest adding a link to the MyLyrics plugin and the Global Search (showing only if the plugins are installed and enabled) from the "Now playing" screen?

This should allready be in the skinfile?

		<control>
			<description>Show Lyrics</description>
			<type>button</type>
			<id>1142</id>
			<label>Lyrics</label>
			<onleft>155</onleft>
			<onup>1141</onup>
			<ondown>1143</ondown>
			<visible>plugin.isenabled(My Lyrics)</visible>
			<hyperlink>90478</hyperlink>
		</control>
	
		<control>
			<description>Global Search</description>
			<type>button</type>
			<id>1143</id>
			<label>Global Search</label>
			<onleft>155</onleft>
			<onup>1142</onup>
			<ondown>1141</ondown>
			<visible>plugin.isenabled(Global search)</visible>
			<hyperlink>30885</hyperlink>
		</control>

I can see the buttons on my screen. The menu (with the buttons) is however, hidden on windowload. Press "right" a couple of times to see it. I'll update the skin with a version where the icon in top right indicating a menu, is included.


UPDATE: I have updated the MediaStream.dll to avoid a handfull of exceptions when using a mouse. I also made it possible to use blank prefixes without the need of modifying the XML-files, this however means that the myHome.xml also needs to be updated.

If you're happy with your current configuration then just update the DLL and everything should work as before.

Weird. This is how my playlist looks with the menu "out":

As you can see, I don't see any links to those items.

Edit: I just had a thought, would it be possible to show the name of the current playlist somehow in this view if it's a saved playlist-file? That would be a nice touch.

I got confused because your pos was about the "playing now" screen, but this is the "playlist" screen

I'll fix it tonight...

Hi, I am currently new to MP (come from meedio)and are using this theme ( Awsome Theme by the way !)
If I where to update to the latest version is there anything that I should backup to keep any settings etc?

Thanks,
Nathan

You just delete your current skin folder and drop the new one in it's place in case you've not changed anything except home menu. Then drop the plugin folder in your MediaPortal folder and say 'yes' to all the overwriting questions. As the home screen is generated by the plugin, all your settings to it are saved in another location.

If you've customized any other screens, you might want to back them up.
If you still feel unsure, just rename your current skin folder to "Mediastream (backup)". In case something isn't working out for you, delete the new one and change the name back to Mediastream and all should be well.

Also, you'll need to delete your Mediastream folder in the Cache folder.
