has nobody else the small font problem?

Your skin is really amazing!

I tried it on my primary media center (32" TV, resolution 1366x768) without problems, but on my secondary media center (22" TV, resolution 1680x1050) the home page has some misaligned text labels. You can see the problem in the attacched image: the prefix labels are correctly aligned but all the main labels are misaligned.

I have tried to modify the myHome.xml file but my skinning skills are very poor.

Thank you.

In the my recordings section where's the difference between folders and non folders?

If you have media playing while in Moving Pictures, the overlay really crashes with the rest of the layout for the Filmstrip view. Is it possible to set visibility to just for Filmstrip? Or lower the info field in that view so it looks better?

I normally only use List view for Moving Pictures, but your Filmstrip view is damn sexy.

You can set the <allowoverlay> to "no", on the top in the movingpictures.xml (if its not there you can add it)

	<id>xx</id>
		<defaultcontrol>xxx</defaultcontrol>
		[COLOR="Red"]<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>[/COLOR]
	        <disabletopbar>yes</disabletopbar>
	        <controls>
		<control>

If you just want it gone for filmstrip in moving pictures you could add something like <visible>!Control.HasFocus(xxxx)</visible>(where "xxxx" is the ID of the filmstrip) to the controll for the overlay (just go into the *overlay*.xml's and add it to the controls needed). This is a bit more complicated if you don't know where to add it tho.

I know. But I like to have the overlay in all the other views. So I'm just gonna stick with List view.

I know but the thing is when I use the remote I get the issue and can only get out of it by using the mouse to click just above where the item menu would be. Hopefully someone else will report the same problem, never happened with the first version you did.

Thanks

Could you do me a favor and check two things:

1. Is there a button in myHome.xml with ID 90001? Open it with notepad and search for <id>90001</id>
2. Is the MediaStream process-plugin installed and running?

Just so that I know where to begin

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

Could I trouble you for a screenshot?

Hi here is what the button does in the skin

<type>button</type>
<label>TV-SERIES</label>
<id>90001</id><hyperlink>9811</hyperlink><onup>91002</onup><ondown>99001</ondown>
<font>mediastream28</font>
<disabledcolor>00515151</disabledcolor><textcolorNoFocus>00515151</textcolorNoFocus>
<textureFocus>-</textureFocus>
<textureNoFocus>-</textureNoFocus>

and yes I have MediaStream process-plugin enabled under process plugins

Thanks

Oops silly me! Although I updated the skin files I didn't update to the newer pluguns! All working fine now and thanks for a great skin

Look really great but I think having two rows of series is just too small, I have to browse through 9 pages now. Is there a way to make it show more rows? And when MP starts, the focus is off the menu so I have to hover my mouse over it before I can use it.

i to think we need at least one more row.
is its 3x3x3

i did try the text view, looks real bad.. hehe

pilehave: Please look at image, see Text view..
and maybe use all the available space at bottom and at top there are like 2 to 4 centimeters free space.. And its like this in many screens, not just tvseries..

Thanks P...

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.

Fantastic skin but i'm not able to read the date in recordings and timer programming - cause it's too small... ?!

As with the other problems a screenshot will be appreciated

Did you copy the fonts to the font-folder in Windows, and is it only on those two screens the problem is?

You can set the <allowoverlay> to "no", on the top in the movingpictures.xml

I know. But I like to have the overlay in all the other views. So I'm just gonna stick with List view.

There are a number of options to remove the topbar. In myHome you should remove or comment out the following:

<!-- Topbar -->

    <control>
      <description>Back button</description>
      <type>button</type>

The menu-generator now allows you to select if this code should be in the home-screen in the first place!

The topbar in all the other screens can be disabled in MediaPortal Configuration. The plugin is a window-plugin called "Topbar"
