[QUOTE="danfg, post: 29571, member: 15046"] [b]Why this is important[/b] Uh... people are viewing this thread but not replying (?) :roll: Let me explain [b]why this is important[/b]: You can't change a skin or create a new one if MP doesn't regenerate these packedgfx*.png files, and I don't know a way of regenerating these files other than removing them and restarting MP (please let me know if there's any other way). That means, skin artists (or regular folk like you and me) can't change MPs skins or make new ones. If that isn't the end of the world then I don't know what is. SO, [b]here's how YOU can help[/b]: 1. Go to the directory of the skin you're using (e.g., if you're using BlueTwo, it's MediaPortal\skin\BlueTwo) 2. [b]Rename[/b] your packedgfx*.png files to packedgfx*.old.png, like this: packedgfx0.png => packedgfx0.old.png packedgfx1.png => packedgfx1.old.png packedgfx20.png => packedgfx20.old.png packedgfx21.png => packedgfx21.old.png 3. Ok, now run or restart Media Portal and tell us what happens, does it hang? Does it start properly? 4. If it hangs on startup, close MP with the Task Manager and rename your png files back: packedgfx0.old.png => packedgfx0.png packedgfx1.old.png => packedgfx1.png packedgfx20.old.png => packedgfx20.png packedgfx21.old.png => packedgfx21.png It's an easy test for an important bug (I think), thank you for taking the time to do it! :) [/QUOTE]
