Sorry if i miss something, i see in next release cul8er will include:

"all plugins that you add to your xfactor folder. It now reads dynamically from the folder. This means that if you find a skin file for a plugin you like and add it to the xfactor skin folder, the menu editor will support it."

thats great, but how can I add plugin Myburner (I know if i add menu item Plugins, myburner shows into Plugins), but it is possible to add Myburner as single item?

Thnx

Hi,

Yes, in the version I will release soon (I need to fix a bug I have found first) you can take any plugin and install it and the use menu editor to add it as a submenu in the xfactor menu.

cheers

hi all!

first, tnx a lot for this great skin. it looks very attractive and professional and it's one of the reasons why i upgraded my old long working mediaportal installation.
everything works 'as advertised' except one thing. rss ticker plugin seems to be a trouble. after there is last news item shown in scroll line and when the ticker should start from beginning, it freezes mediaportal.
in mediaportal.log there is infinite loop of this error:

2009-05-25 18:36:31.012774 [Info.][MPMain]: Exception   :Error in the application.

i have latest mp installation (1.0.2) and tried two diff versions of RSS-ticker plugin, one from the link in first post of this thread, and latest one (which is newer) from official rss-ticker thread. the rss url i'm using is Index.hr

i haven't changed original basichome.xml which comes with x-factor installation.

i noticed another thing also: scrolling of news in rss thicker is very jumpy. that means it isn't fluid like other horizontal scrolling elsewhere in mp.

this thing is driving me crazy. i'd really like to have rss feed scrolling on home screen, but i can't with this problem.
any clue about it?

Hi,

A new release of the x-factor skin is now available (R219). Read short changelog and see screenshots of what to expect here (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/x-factor-316/screenshots-next-version-60289/). This is a big release in the sense that I have changed a lot so a few bugs will probably exist (even after all my tests). Please report bugs in the usual way.

IMPORTANT!
This skin no longer uses the MP-RSSTicker plugin to show weather and rss feed on the basichome page. Instead a new plugin called InfoServie is used. Read more on this in the installation instructions.

Best Regards
cul8er

I really like these screenshots, but not the way covers are reflected:


Anyone with a good idea to avoid the reflection error?

Seems like it´s possible to have a gap between the dvd-case and it´s reflection.
So it should be possible to do it the same way with the cover, or not?
