odd "xbox cvs" overlay (2 Viewers)

[scales]

Hi,
i just installed the new mepo skin. when i go to the tv guide, i see this "xbox mediacenter cvs build" text overlaying the top of my epg. anyone know how i can get rid of it?
thanks!

I've got the same thing with the blue2 skin. It seems to go away once you start moving around the guide.

humm, it seems to still stay there for me....can i edit the xml file to get rid of it? i cannot seem to find it...

yep, I get this too sometimes. It does also vanish for me after a few navigations or if I exit and re-enter.
The fact that it isn't consistant would indicate that it is to do with the code and not the skin.

hum, well i have never noticed it prior to switching to this new skin. i did use the "modified" tvguide.xml previously, you know the one that has only 6 channels at a time. anyway, i currently am using 2.0.something, would 2.1 fix it?

I use Mepo Black on the main downstairs PC and Blue Two standard on the upstairs testing one. Both are on relatively new SVNs. Strngely, I haven't seen the fault on the downstairs Mepo PC but get this on the upstairs one.
Both of those run software newer than the 2.1 patch so not sure if that would help but I guess it dosn't hurt to try.

I guess it's something to do with the new animations that came from X-Box but again, it's only a guess...

now from what i read, i can uninstall the 2.0 version and install the 2.1 version without loosing my settings, epg setup, or channels?

This happens when the client starts up before the tv server does. It happens to me when I first start up the computer, because MP is supposed to launch on startup, and it happens to do it faster than the tv server. If you close MP and reopen it, it should appear fine.

humm, interesting thought, though i dont think it is true. i have turned off the media center many times and it still is there. i think that it is in the skin, or the tvguide.xml. when i use MCE skin, i dont see the overlay, however that particular skin is using the reduced epg. when i use mepo, i still see the overlay.
