It's always a hard choice for skinning: on the one hand there's MP which is the "entertainment center for the complete family" on the other hand there's the "high tech geek solution to show off". Luckily we have skins for both demands
Where's the 'convince the wife/girlfriend, that the HTPC really IS worth the time and expense' skin then?
Since The invention of Mepo, all my family loved the guy, so all thanks to glenn the creator, and harley making it into Blue3.
You've got to be hard faced, not to appreciate the Mepo character, its a fun thing

It's called XFace... or Aeon. Either one seems to work on my girlfriend
Seriously, we have so many great skins now that I keep getting yelled at because I like to change them every week.

haha, it took me 1.5yrs of messing to finally get the HTPC to the state where the GF loves it and any friends she have over can use it without instruction.
The first few months were awful though - "I just want to watch TV!!!!!"
It is kinda amusing that ALL the above posts, after mine have GF moans of some sort
I think I'm going to print out some of the screens from the suggested skins, stick them on a big stick and clout her with it every time she complains!
Come visit me in hospital, when she retaliates...

Mortuary more like it (a woman scorned springs to mind), leave Mepo alone, he's great

Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck?
Preferable with as much disabled as possible
also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything)
