Monochrome (for those who like dark skins), updated... (1 Viewer)

Cheers Darre, that helps indeed. No issues seen in RC4 so far, so I applied your tweak to do the trick. Much appreciated, the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) of the RC4 upgrade, has again reached comfortlevel MAX after this ;-)

Hello, would it be possible to make a poster view for mptvseries plugin instead of using the banner view???
Maybe something like coverflow and fan art as the background would be nice, i think mptvseries has an option now to download posters instead of banners so
i think this would make the skin look a lot cooler.

I'm looking to supporting both with the same skin file atm, fyi coverflow style interface is not supported by MP atm...

i don't know if having a look at the streamedMP skin will help. I saw the screenshots they have posted at the skins homepage and it seems they have it working.

Filmstrip is not the same as coverflow...

Noh...but some genious-coder should recode MediaPortal to support coverflow, that would be MAX nice. XBMC is ahead on that field
Since MP already supports the needed animations and rotation of elements, somebody "just" needs to do the coding

Even if there is no coverflow even filmstrip poster view with small posters and fanart and series info would be very nice in my opinion.
Also is there a way for monochrome to download automatically all the fanart it finds for a series when we push the fanart option, i had to download
manually all the fanart for each show i have. I think that having both ways of downloading would be great.

Well, about the fanart, it must be in the MP-TV Series thread you should ask for that

It would be nice, but I think it should be optional. Some series have a lot of fanart and if you have a lot of series ...
you REALLY have a lot of fanart.

I don't know if MyTV series works the same as MovingPictures, which cleans up after itself. I know the default videos plugin doesn't, so you have all these old pictures/thumbs/fanart of movies which you don't use anymore.
Diskspace isn't really an issue on conventional disks or modern pc's, but if for instance you want to use a solid state disk, you need to be aware of diskspace.

yes i was talking about right click option as with the current one to view and download fanart for each series but instead having the option to download all fanart for a series.
Something like right click "all fanart for this series".
