[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 486463, member: 27204"] Hey Metalla, glad to hear you are making progress. While skinning MVids (again!) I noticed a couple things you might be able to consider while you are at it :) 1. The Hierarchy for Videos is kinda weird cuz it just lists the Artist which you can easily add to the Video view anyway. It would be more consistent if it displayed "Videos" like it does "Artists", "Tags" etc. 2. Any way to get a Video count for the number of videos for an artist in Video view? I know you can get it in Artist view, but it doesn't work when you are in Video View. One easy way is to enable $itemcount in the plugin so it can be used in any view. 3. I cannot get the first fanart image to display when the plugin first opens. Once I navigate to another artist all the fanart displalys correctly. However, I do have trouble getting fade animations working on the fanart - it works sometimes and not others. I have the same problems using the Blue3 skin provided with MVids (and in other skins). In general, better fanart control would be great including the option to download it in Mvids Config (assuming you can find a good source with api) 4. The video thumbnails at 40x30 resolution are almost useless anywhere other than in a listcontrol where they are too small too see clearly anyway. Any chance of making them a little bigger, or making that a user option, or making a small and large thumb like MP does for Picture thumbs and Music thumbs (and then letting us skiinners access the larger one if we need to!) I don't mean to load on you, just thought the feedback might be helpful. It's an awesome plugin, I love it and can't wait for your new version! [/QUOTE]
