Looks really good, i like the stars for the tv series for rating, but maybe be consequent to have them at the same position(in filmstrip they are at "first air" and in wide banner they are at "watched").

Would be nice if the stars can be implemented in movies also(dont know if this is possible).
Im not sure i like the fading to black on the sides when your looking at series at filmstrip.

Maybe have it the same for movies and series when you look at them in a list:
Cover on left, text in the middle and the list on the right?

Except for that i love it. I really like the new thumbnail look for movies with the icons on the left side.
Maybee do the same for series with the widebanners on the left.
Nice work.

Moving Pictures List

Very Good.

Moving Pictures Filmstrip

Very Good.

Moving Pictures Big Thumbnails
I prefer the regular Big Thumbnails view. But it's fine as an optional layout.

TVSeries List
I would place cover at the far left. Just like moving strip,

TVSeries Filmstrip
As I said before, only good if the fanart has the main subject right behind the window. Otherwise, it is really strange. Please test it with other fanart and you'll see what I'm talking about. I didn't like the fading sides. It looks like something is missing.

TVSeries Wide Banners
Same thing as moving picures. I prefer the regular Big Thumbnails view. If it is an optional layout, banners still need to be on the left.

Looks really good. One thing however:

There is an inconsistency in the filmstrip view. In TV Series the far left and right items edges are faded while in Movies they are not. Also, in TV Series the series info is presented while in Movies it is not. I personally prefer for both of them a version with faded edges and with no info.

Hi all,

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it and will see if I can implement some of them. But one thing I will not do is make all views in all plugins look the same. Yes, I want the xfactor design (feel and look) in all places but I also know that if all looks the same I will get bored of the design sooner. If I have little different layouts (placements of posters, lists and so on) at least I like it better. I hope you don't get too disappointed about this, but if you do and like some of the views we had in the past, please feel free to post these as mods in the MOD thread. The reason for me to only include one design of a plugin is that I do not have the time it would take to maintain several xml files for the same plugin, but it is here the mod section and your input come to place .

best regards
cul8er

Hi

I think it would be cool if genre was showed in "Moving Pictures Filmstrip"

I think all look terrific, but would prefer if you moved the TV Series wide banners to the left like in big thumbs for Moving Pictures. Just flows better. As always, great work!
