If you can keep the mouse really still, and just use the scrollwheel you might get lucky

yeah and with that mouse attached, if you sneeze to loudly the menu looses focus

Conclusion: if you are common cold: don't use your mp

anyone have any idea why this is happening?
(streamedmp-0.2.219, RC4, vista)

anyone?

well at least you can see something.
all i have is a blank screen or sometimes black square where the art work should be, but mostly nothing,
i can navigate around blindly and pick shows...

no one seems to know what this happens, but i aint the only one so thats good i guess.

Hi,

I had the same problem on a 1920x1080 screen resolution. I use the fanart version.

Because the skin is intended to be used for 1280x720, I edited the TVSeries.xml myself and decreased "posY" values for "Filmstrip view" to move the filmstrip up.
I also had some problems with overlapping of the filmstrip and the series title and summary. I changed the related "visible" properties and got better results.

So, there are some issues with the not officially supported resolution. But I am not sure to report this as bug. How is the policy?

I also run at 1920x1080 and I see exactly the same as in that picture. So what? I think that's what you normally get in that view... isn't it?

Hi again,

After my first installation the TV Series screen had overlapping of the filmstrip and title/summary if entered the first time. Afterwards the title and summary vanished.
I figured that this has probably been tested, so it has something to do with my installation.
After a lot of trial and error I came to a solution, which works for me just fine, filmstrip + title and summary in the same screen. I always thought that it was supposed to be this way, because everything was already available in the xml, I only had to do some minor changes.

Big thanks to the developers for their fantastic work and effort. Keep up the good work. The waf is just great

Well, when I saw the changes in this last release I understood it was meant to leave place for fanart. If you are using fanart in series view it makes sense to put the filmstrip down so fanart looks much better. But I personally don't like fanart in series view that much so I'd prefer using your edited xml. Would you share it with us?

its confusing but what i was talking about was the lack of series summary in the series filmstrip. the authors meant to do this to enlarge the area visible for fanart. actually, now i like the way it is.

Sure, but please keep in mind that I changed the xml only for my personal use to pass the time till the next release. I am not a developer, all changes are based on trial and error.

I don't support all view (Text <-> Graphical) combinations possible with the tv series plugin. I also changed the season and episode views to get a better understanding.
I created new formatting rules "<Series.InfoPanelLine9Key>", "<Series.InfoPanelLine9Value>" and "<Series.InfoPanelLine10Key>", "<Series.InfoPanelLine10Value>" to show some series information.
Once you figure out how things work, it's sometimes hard to stop so the GUI is maybe too crowded now.

You'll figure it out, whether it's useful for you.
