Hi,

This version is great. However, I see a couple of problems in Blue3 skin.

1. When I go into a series which has a number of seasons, the description text is almost completely overlapping the list of seasons. I can provide a screenshot if this is not a general problem.

2. I am unable to change layouts from within the blue3 skin.

Thanks again,

Mark

I think you need the latest MediaPortal SVN.

This might be a general problem, I have only been focusing on the wide skin. I will try spend sometime looking at the 4:3 version later. If you add it to the Issue tracker perhaps Gamejester can take a look as hes the one maintaining the 4:3 skin.

2. I am unable to change layouts from within the blue3 skin.

Yeah, I think the 4:3 version doesn't support multiple layouts yet

Thanks Damien. I'll be patient.

Best wishes,

Hi,

got the same issue, when I try to import in Mediaportal configuration, exactly that message appears and afterwards MP config is closed. And I am on that SVN...
Any clue
