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

[richman2]

Hi,
at first: Great work! I always used the old version of the skin, but 2.4 is even better!
I use MP 1.0 and since today I use 2.4 Version. The "split screen" for MyVideos is a great idea!!
But there occurs a little problem. For some films there exists no description on the right side. Although it exists in build-in film-info.
So my question is: Where (from which database/ file) do the data come from?
If I want to get data for film X by using the context menu -> ofdb (german) / imdb the data (description, actors..) are already present (must not be loaded, because I did so before) but the description does not appear in the splitscreen.


So basically I need to know from which database the descriptions are taken - they are in german, so something worked ;-)
I have also installed moving pictures (using ofdb)
BTW the changes in MP (transparent list) is exactly what I wanted. Also the cinema-seats instead of a grey back-dop if non existing is much better! guys


So any ideas/ suggestions for my problem?

Hi guys,
I have gone back to installing MP 0.2.3 due to problems with my TV card and I want to find the Monochrome for the MP 0.2.3....
Which would be the more suitable version to install. If it is older than the current, does it exist anywhere?

Hi,

just installed the latest snapshot and recognized that TV recordings are not listed anymore. I assume this to be due to some skin engine changes. The version number increased from 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.0.3. In Blue3 everything works as expected.

Please do not take this as a bug report, I just wanted to inform the author about the issue as he may want to correct this in an upcoming release. I guess I'll just wait until Psycho Reptile fixes this as Monochrome is my skin of choice. It looks so much better than anything else out there. Thank you so much.

Apart from that, MP is now able to display some nice icons indicating the audio/video codecs. This can be seen in B3/B3 wide. Please refer to videoOSD.xml.

Regards,
Simon

There have been some skin engine changes in the latest SVN release, trying to catch up as quick as I can

I ve downloaded the latest Monochrome skin and installed it as described in the .txt that came with the download. However, I cannot get it configured right so the skin works with Movies Pictures. It must be some kind of setting or thing I m not doing ok but don t know where to start..... help

Hi, just wanted to ask again if anybody knows a solution...
In split screen view (the "alternative" that comes along with monochrome) of "my videos" (lefthand title, righthand cover and description) are (for some, but not all videos) no desctiptions available, although I loaded them successfully from ofdb/ imdb with MP (1.0)

Where is the problem? How can I update/ add the descriptions?

Hi PR, I have one question and may ask for a hint or help:
I would like to add a "bottomline" in the music View with info about "album artist" and "album name" - so it is easier to navigate through the Iconview. The info should be in the lower side and show info about the currently selected item.
Can you give me a hint about which file needs modification and what to do? I am not a skinner - maximum I could do is change a little the positioning of something if I find it ;-)
Thanks for your help,
Guzzi

Hi PR, since you're now updating the skin for latest MP changes - may I ask again for this? If this is of no interest for the communitiy I would be glad if you could give me a hint how to make it for myself.
thanks for all your work,
Guzzi

Awesome update Psycho Reptile, love the new look. Just one thing to note, the List Icons for Series and Season Views now have a new name in v2.1 of TVSeries:

Just plonk these into your Media folder.
