NO music controls (1 Viewer)

[smithft]

Hi,
Firstly fantastic piece of software !!
I installed Media Portal and am planning on using a 8" touch lcd to control the various elements. I've read throughg most of teh documentation and it seems there should be music controls (play,pause, stop) on the screen but I cannot seem to see them. I am using Media Player 10 and the MCE skin.
I think I am missing some small.
Can somebody suggest a fix

Thanks

PS-Sorry if this was posted already. I searched but couldn't find an answer

Hi,

AFAIK the MCE skin doesn't have a topbar. BlueTwo has one. It'll show as soon as the mouse pointer reaches the top area of the screen.

Kind regards,
Michel

Thanks - found it.
I'm new to media portal and to these skins.
Can I modify the skins (or create a new skin) to get te buttons to appear all the time or just some of the buttons.

Thanks again
Frank

Yeah, have a look at the MetalMedia skin. It has control buttons in the skin all the time, without disappearing. I used it a lot in the times I didn't have a remote...

Kind regards,
