Yea, the guide was a massive factor for me when i started work on it as i use MP for tv also and most of the other skins guide are really difficult to read and very messy. Like having fanart behind it !? for me thats a no go for usability, the guide on any device should be stylish and smooth BUT functional and easy to use at the same time.

I think it should be possible i think i've even seen a couple of skins with the colours in use for diff genres already. I will speak with Bombus and see what he thinks

**TV-Series Update**

Let us know what you think, i've tried to carry over the feel of moving pictures to tv series to keep the smooth flow ;-)

Looks great!

It's not very clear which poster is selected in the filmstrip view other than the label at the bottom. Perhaps the selected cover could be highlighted in some way (bigger image?).

Hi,
I was wondering if you were thinking of adding Netflix in as one of the supported applications?

Cheers
Phil

I havent looked at the netflix plugin for media portal yet as i find netflix has very poor quality streams but i will install and take a look to see what we can do, we want to support as many plugins as possible eventually but we would like to get the skin out there asap too so some plugins support may be added later ;-)

 

[pbathuk]

No worries, I could always look at building that plugin XML file once the skin is released

RE: genre colours
ah looking @ http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/7_Skins/Skin_Architecture/TV_Guide
I can see that its included in 1.3 but not backwards oh well will just have to wait till 1.3 it out

 

[Holzi]

Yeah.. this feature will probably be in MP 1.3 Alpha, depends on testing tho.

Here you can find a testbuild which includes these features: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...olors-skin-functions-weather-settings.103616/ (Post 3)

Cheers Holzi, Interesting read and should help make MP even better
One question, I can't seem to find on the wiki any info on extra TV guide information i.e. there is #TV.guide.Description (or what ever the correct syntax is) but I would like to setup a "more info" popup that has things like the actors, sub-title info etc.

Cheers
