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

@ dwoodzz, yes SVN is required.

@ emphatic, suggest away - I only implimented the skin changess to show Zeflash's code changes.

@ bobrap, code design questions should be directed to zeflash, see above. Monochrome does have a topbar, which I've never had a problem with, what screen are you having problems with?

I noticed that in MyTVSeris the OSD shows the thumbnail in 4:3 even if the thumb is widescreen...
With Episodes with no thumbnail, the Network logo is shown correctly in 4:3.

Could Thumbnails be shown in 16:9?

 

[bobrap]

None of the screens have a bar at the top with a button to click to exit. Is that something I should see? TA

 

[MacMini]

Yep, you should be seeing it. Check your aspect ratio, and also MP Configuration, where you can turn the floating top bar On/Off.

Hi Psycho Reptile, massive thank you for the brilliant skin but im wondering if you could explain how i can modify the view slightly...

In mytv series the look isn't the best, i've attached a screen shot below and would like to change it if possible.

I would much prefer it to have a list on the right side for each series with a thumbnail or similar next to each one or a larger picture above or below that changes to represent the series you have selected....is this possible?

My folder setup is simple as i was having difficulties getting the media to play, now all the episodes of all the series are in one main folder (ie. c:\numb3rs\) how can i change it to this layout below?

(sorry for destroying the look of your skin with my budget paint skills!

Also, will you be developing skins for other popular plugins available for MP as this would complete the package for me.

Hope you can help and keep up the good work

p.s. Also sorry about the image size, not to great when it comes to editing images...

@ Psycho Reptile and Zeflash: I see now that MyFilms (MesFilms) has added support for My Movies .xml import in the latest version 4.4.1. Perhaps this will be even better than convincing the MediaPortal coders to include Zeflash code (I'm thinking of the "no new features"-thingie). I will personally check this out when I get home from work.

Edit: Sorry for the crazy talk. I confused MyMovies (MCE addon/standalone Movie db) with MyVideos (internal MP database). Still, this *might* be a better solution than using all the complicated work that is setting up MyFilms with all the other side dishes that has to offer. Carry on.

PR-
Hey, I got the shares to display imdb info properly, BUT-for some reason it broke any video files from starting for some reason?!
As soon as I reverted the 3 files back to originals, everything worked again. ? This affected my tv-series vids as well. Dunno, but I did it twice and same results each time. Any ideas? Video ts folders worked fine though regardless of the switch.

dwoodzz: By worked (video ts), do you mean that they displayed the IMDB data in shares as well? Or just that playback was working?

Hey everyone,

Psycho Reptile, well done on such a cool skin. But sorry for being a n00b, but i have no idea where to download this skin from, i've checked the SVN, but cannot find it- am i looking in the wrong place? (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp-plugins/)

I would really like to give this skin a go
