MediaStream skin for MP (1 Viewer)

[mattsk88]

matsk88 - any screenshots or work done on the TV/Guide section? I'm assuming (hoping?) that the first release will have TV support!

The Moving Pictures Fan Art screen looks awesome BTW!

Just for you revs here is a preliminary look at what I have just completed. Tv Main and TVMiniguide, btw these will probably change a little.

matsk88 - looks superb, nicer than i had pictured in my mind!!

With the EPG - i know its out of place with the skin, but I would love if it took up as much room as possible, i.e. there isnt a gap at the top for fan art. although i'm pretty sure i could make a personal modification if need be!

once again - superb work, definitely the best skin out there!

Ill defiantly keep that in mind as it would be beneficial for the epg to be as big as possible. Ill have to see how it fits in with the rest of the skin.

Thanks matsk88 - its definately about getting a balance of keeping to the skin, yet not affecting the usability.

Personally I don't like FanArt on the TVsection. I can see that it is not a TVseries FanArt, so it might not be that big a deal. I'd just like the TVscreen to go all the way to the top. The way it is now, I think it looks a little strange, with the black box on the bottom that cuts through the Background picture. Rather have that Box go all the way to the top to make the background picture a little faded. THis way I wouldn't mind having the background picture.
I can see why you did it, if it is to show of some of the TVseries FanArt, but to me, MyTV is just so much more than TVseries, which would make a TVseries FanArt look kinda out of place. And I don't see a reason for showing of the background picture you have on the screenshot, anymore than just have it as a background.
I hope it makes sence. And just remember, just my thought, it's an amazing work you've done on this

The rest of the screen looks great. In the miniguide, how are you planning to show what channels are currently recording and which are currently available to watch? I would like it to just be with text, that says "Recording" etc and then color the text. I think this is the way you did it with Titanium, right?
In Blue3 this is shown with some icons on the right, and I don't really like this approach.

Oh no, spuck, what did you do to the Home screen, with the menu in the middle? Or is that just because it's regular home, and BasicHome is still on the side?

The OSD looks amazing. I never thought about having the timeline on the bottom but it looks really great there.

Yep, xbmc mediastream has an option to have menu at the left or in the middle, so I thought the regular home would be great in the middle since basichome is already on the left.

Good thinking. It might look good, maybe I have just gotten used to seeing it on the left side .
Still think that the "Now PLaying box" looks a bit off at the top of the screen. Personally I like it when the top of the screen is the less crowded part, with most of the stuff being at the bottom. It can feel kind of "heavy" to have alot of stuff on the top, and nothing on the bottom. I think its the same reason I thought the OSD looks so good on the bottom.
