Hey guys, first off, awesome skin! I love the installer, it's super easy to setup. I'm running it to my prjector on a 7.5ft wide 16x9 screen. Everyone that has seen it so far is super impressed.

I have a question, in Moving Pictures when I click on a movie in the list, it brings up a movie details page. The bottom info, like director, run time, etc, the heading overlaps with the data maybe 1 or 2 characters, so like Director and Peter Jackson overlap each other. It does this for all the info on the bottom. Is this just my setup or is it a font issue? I didn't see it as a known issue in the bug fix area. Or is this something I should just edit the xml to take care of? Thanks again!

Hi akajester, it should be fine in a 16:9 screen resolution otherwise its a bug.

Thanks, I'll try to post a screenshot tonight. It's not a big deal. I'm sure I could fix it in the xml, but just wondered if anyone noticed this yet. Thanks for the reply!

I'm running 1024x768. Is that too small?

You are running a 16:9 widescreen skin in a 4:3 resolution.
This does not work.

I'm running a Barco 808 crt projector. So, I run a 16x9 skin on my htpc at 1024x768 resolution, then have the projector squeeze the picture down to fit a 16x9 screen. Any suggestions?

If your projector will accept 1280x720 that is the correct resolution for this skin. Try that. MediaPortal does not output the GUI anamorphically, like DVD standalones. At least not for this skin. The only "anamorphic" skin made is Core reloaded: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/skins-50/core-reloaded-1-0-a-32331/ but that's not been updated for a long time.

I should be able to force that resolution using powerstrip, I think. Thanks for the info!

UPDATE: 1280x720 worked perfectly, thanks again!

Guys,

Everytime I start Mediaportal I get this red box with a notification that the current skin is outdated for 15 seconds (clickable but still irritating). I use MP 1.0 with the latest snapshot installed and with the latest Streamed MP skin 0.4.298.

Can I do something about this to make this notification go away? It is not looking nice in my opinion.
