NEW skin MiVo - now supports new fanart download from TheTVDB (1 Viewer)

[gamejester]

First - This is a heavily animated skin, you need to download it and see it in action to appreciate what it is doing.

I have been working on a new skin for a few weeks now, well actually I did most of this 3 weeks ago and have had no time to update it so I thought I might as well put it on the site for comment.

What I was aiming to produce was a simple easy to read skin that was heavily animated for a good eye candy experience. It was also designed around the fact that most Series had fan art, but those that did not also followed the same look.

The TVseries part of it is more or less complete (apart from the bugs it has thrown up in the plugin which will be logged seperatly), the rest of it is just Spinsafe 1080 as that was the base skin I started from (works ok on a none 1080p screen, tested it on 720p)

A couple of screen shots are attached (but as stated they do not look like much as it is all about the animation).

Some of the graphics are a little rough (ie I need to hide square edge screen shots behind my round edge frammes) but it is usable.

What do you think?

Just added the new features that Inker has implemented to download fanart from theTVdb.com
Still a work in progress but all the TVseries plugin is working well.

Followed your suggestions and still not working for me...oh well.

Inker, it is not really a full skin, just a preview for TVseries plugin stuff, so has no place in the skin forum yet.

It was originally posted to demonstrate the various bugs I had found with animation/visibility in the tvseries plugin; without fixes to those things it can never be a full skin.

Main reason I have posted it again before it is ready is so that people can have a play with the new feature for downloading fanart if they want, to get a better idea of how it works.

Bobrap - can you give a little more info as to exactly what is not working and what you have done so far?
I had a few issues at first with the fanart download stuff, but most of them where down to config.
Have you tried pressing F9-4 when are in the series view (not episode, the option is not available there)?
Also try turing on/off the random fanart setting in options.

Did a complete re-install and it's working now.
