i'm installing mp-tv right now.
it's the next plugin that will (potentially) have skinfiles included in the next pm3sexy release.

i've been using project mayhem back-in-the-day when xbox first came out.
i used it with xbmc on my modded xbox (executor3 modchip ftw!).

as soon as i got my new usb tuner setup, having mediaportal with a project mayhem skin was a must.

    Some of us are still happily caught in the analog age. :D

    Although ..... it would be interesting to see how PM3 would translate to widescreen.

    My only issue -- The text overall is too small for my wife and I to read comfortably, even on our 32" Hitachi at 10 feet. Converting from PAL to 800X600 on the HTPC to NTSC on the TV is just not eye friendly. I can't imagine it on a smaller TV.

    Nice to see this skin revived, btw. Great work

    On what planet? :).

    Hey!! I resemble that remark! ;)

    So then, 11% of the MediaPortal skins should suport 4x3..... so, that makes, what .... 4 of all the skins available (currently supported)? And I've got another one that has not been made public.

    Oh.. wait... that's more that 11%.... :D It's obvious, then, that we need more skins for MediaPortal!... just to keep it in balance.

    regards,

    Chuck

    why 4:3? I'll tell you why (and the answer's not analog)...

    My home theater runs off a projector setup ( epson ex50 ). by default, it runs at 4:3. I can run it at 16:9, but that just crops off the top and bottom. plus i watch a lot of vhs rips that are in 4:3.

    i'll try to do a 16:9 pm3sexy in the near future.

    Is it possible to edit the basic home screen? Adding and removing buttons.. Would be nice to be able to customize this great skin to ones own personal prefs..

    What I like to be in the basic home screen is: Music, Radio, Weather.

    that's all in BasicHome.xml .

    i'm limited to 5 options on the home screen because that's the number of spaces on the menu-texture-thing (home_buttons.png).

    if somebody wants to redo home_buttons.png with more spaces (preferably 7, one at top and another at bottom) i'll gladly incorporate that into a future release of the skin.

    i can easily foresee adding the following:
    * top entry for applications, like emulators and games.
    * bottom entry for radio, which i'd use with shoutcast radio.
