    Oh no! This is a standalone application. Just create a folder anywhere (e.g. C:\MPClearartLoader) and copy all the files into it.

    Hi catavolt!
    Hi Helios, long time nothing heard from you ;)

    Real life ;)

    Here we go: When you open the MPClearartLoader click on Browse and select C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\ClearArt. If the folder ClearArt does not exist, just create it.
    Then click ont the big button Process database at the bottom of the installer. Select TVSeriesDatabase4.db3 from the folder database.
    The installer scans that database and offers you to update the clearart for the found series.
    That´s all - hope you´ll get along with this short description

    Big :D, now all is working like a charme! The only thing i was doing wrong, was to set a different output folder for the thumbs :confused:

    Best regards and Thanks again for the PV skins!

    Helios

    Hi adelphia, the following screenshots show how it should look like on a screen. If it doesn´t, then you have a wrong setup of the resolution between HTPC and TV or unsufficient resolution (this may happen on notebooks with resolutions like 1200x800, which then is scaled wrong which is a bug in MP skin engine and can´t be changed atm).
    The file to change is movingpictures.mediainfo.xml.

    Thanks for that! Mine are nowhere near that - they are almost centred on the screen. My screen size and res are 1920x1080p. I'll post a screenshot when I get a chance then you'll see what I mean..

    Re: AW: PureVisionHD (16:9)

    OK, I think I know what the problem is in that my screen size is 1920x1080 and the skin is designed at 1366x768. As you are usuing actual co-ordinates and not percentages of screen location in the movinpictures.xml files it will always place incorrectly on my screen as shown below...

    Is there anyway to set it like using percentages rather than absolutes?

    I´m also using a 40 inch FullHD 1920x1080 Television (connected via HDMI from HTPC GFX card NVidia GT240) and there it scales perfect without any mispositioning. As the skin is made for the normal HDReady resolution, every FullHD Television should scale perfect to 1980x1080 (as it does with programs transmitted in lower HD resolution).
    And no, it´s not possible with the MP skin engine to enter percentages instead of absolute values.
    Do you have this mispositioning only in MovingPictures or also in MP-TVSeries?

    Hi catavolt

    I have the same overlapping as adelphia on my 46" full HD (1920x1080).

    Sure.

    No problems in TV Series episodes view when selecting the i-icon.

    :D Then it seems to be a bug in MovingPictures. Can´t check it here atm, because HTPC is being reinstalled...
