I must say that I love this skin, it's the cleanest and does exactly what I want

I'm still getting no background art in my show times, I can see that it has been downloaded by the plugin, it's just not showing up. I've downloaded the latest update (24/1) and overwriten my skin but nothing... Am I doing something wrong??

No, the backdrop missed the quality control

Hi Pilehave
Firstly thanks for a great skin, it really works well
I know you have it listed as a known issue, just wondering what progress you're making on the tv logos / folders in the Recorded programs screen. This affects WAF in my case which is not good
Thanks again

hey emphatic. niceone.. is it posible to make the episode thumb show, and if no episode thumb then the default placeholder image ?

You mean as a second alternative? Like, if no fan art is chosen for that show? Well, if you put the default placeholder image underneath the fan art image it should work that way, right?

Note that I've changed the dimensions and placement for the "defaultepisodethumb.png" from the original .xml.

hey guess i could really use your help.....my MP_tvseries just shows a blank screen....none of the logo's load....they worked fine with the other skins....what am i doing wrong?

Hey sorry to bring this up... But I think the Overlays are behaving quite weirdly... Seems that my visuals flip between the top left corner and their stationary place inside the overlay.. This soon resaults in the skin crashing... To be honest the behavour of the overlays seems to be not as precise or stable as the ones in Blue3Wide... Would it be worth looking into the code difference..

I would like to provide more details, but something of this nature does not produce logs.. Thanks

Which overlays are you thinking about?

If you wrote a more detailed description perhaps someone can help. Maybe even try with a screenshot!

The background graphics for myHome? They're controlled by the plugin and are limited to those allready there.

I believe it's the music overlay.. I describe a bit. I use Milkdrop, R4 and also the default windows media player visuals in my system as I imagine most people do...

Now what seems to happen is sometimes when flipping back from Music to Home and Last.fm to home I will get the visualization appearing inside the overlay but it will also flicker in the top left hand corner, and on top of this the system will be displaying what is currently on TV even though I'm playing music...

So basicallly even though I'm playing a song the system seems to think my visualization is a video and therefor will show what ever last TV or movie related content I had been playing.. The odd thing is is that this does not happen all the time...

I've sadly had to flip back to Blue3 Wide, which I honestly think is in need of a radical make over (not considering the poor 3rd party plugin support) but really don't know what else to do...

I'm going to flip back to Mediastream and try and get you a screenshot...
