Moving Pictures Public Beta 0.5.5c (2 Viewers)

Quick and probably dumb question.
But are there skin files for Blue3. If so can someone kindly point me in the right direction.
I so want to try this plugin out.

I'm working on some Blue3 (4x3) files. However in this topic there are already some files available (be it for Blue Two) that work in Blue3.
...
Tried a quick search to include them in this post, but can't find them on this PC...

You can check this thread for some variations:

Hi...don't know if this has been up before, but I find that using #MovingPictures.SelectedMovie.score doesn't give you the score of the movie, but just a full set of stars (10/10).

If I right-click and update the movie, the stars are changed to the movies rating (8/10 in the movie Blade Runner for example), but only to return to 10 stars when I restart MediaPortal.

An help on this would be appreciated!

Well it looks like there are 5 issues left before all 0.6 ones are complete. So I don't think there is long to wait!

I'd much rather wait longer and have a finetuned product, than getting a fast release with tons of bugs.
And as fforde has said earlier, it's better to do it the Blizzard way (it's done when it's done) than giving out expected releasedates and then keep pushing them back - this way people just gets dissapointed, even though the reason for the pushback, was a bug that crashed the entire pc and forced you to reinstall windows - a little exaggerated i know.


And personally I am no longer sitting on the edge of my seat, pressing F5 every 3 minutes in hope that fforde has uploaded a new version. This was the case back with the first couple of releases, where there were no DVD IFO support, or the version where movie-xml.com went down and we couldn't add new movies. Right now we have a good, solid working plugin. Everything that is added from now on, is (to me) extra features or finetuning of the plugin. Basically, at this point, it works and it does so very great indeed.

Just my opinion. It's not that I don't want another release, there's alot of features I would love to see implemented, but I'd much rather wait a little longer and make sure that they are perfectly working before released.

Even if it would be 2 weeks, I agree with Jonaskp (and Armandp and FForde): I would rather wait. As the plugin works right now it's practically bug-free. Bugs that appear after a release are almost instantly resolved.
So the features that are being implemented right now are very welcome, but we will just have to wait.
