    open musicOverlay.xml in the Replicant folder with notepad, at the bottom of the file there's a control that' s commented out. Remove the "<!--" and "-->" to re enable the video preview window.
    25/03/2007 [21:49h] Bavarian added: fixing flickering in the upper left corner when visualization is turned off.
    That fix was done after I released 1.0.5 :eek:, thanks for pointing out the fix for the skin. I've removed the comment for the next version and added a musicOverlay.xml for Non-SVN release.

    Apparantly I didn't RTFM :) Problem Solved
    Tsk, tsk ;)

    I just had another strange error. I paused on the last track, and then pressed stop a few minutes later. The now playing window won't disappear at all. I'm going back to my working Replicant again to see if this is caused by todays SVN or Replicant 1.0.5.
    Let me know how you get on...

    Already have! Just pointing out the problem! ;)
    Thanks.

    @LiquidSky; & kenwonders, could you check,with B2 wide?
    - The track info always shows a '0' in the third row.
    - The visualisation problems

    @LiquidSky; & kenwonders, could you check,with B2 wide?
    - The track info always shows a '0' in the third row.
    - The visualisation problems

    Track info (MyMusicFullScreenVisualization.xml):

    B2 Wide has the same problem, #Play.Current.Year is always 0. Year is displayed correctly in 'Now Playing'. I found out that if you add new music files, it will show the correct year once. I can replicate this by deleting the musicdatabase. It's OK for the first track you play, after that it is always 0.

    Also tried to replace the year with #Play.Current.Duration, this works, but duration is shown as the total number of seconds instead of mm:ss format, not very readable.

    Visualizations:

    Problems imho not skin related.

    - WeatherOverlay.dll seems to depend on the current directory to work correctly. Sonique visualizations change the current directory and after a few minutes you get an unhandled exception dialog from the .NET framework stating "Cound not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MusicPlayer\Plugins\Visualizations\Spec'n'Hopp\weather\curWeather.xml'

    - visualizations generally seem out of sync with the music, I don't know if this is a MediaPortal issue or a problem of the visualizations (?)

    I replicated the problem with my slightly edited Replicant (heh) 1.0.4, so it looks like this one bug came in yesterday or Monday in SVN. I have found that the Now Playing window is totally messed up in the last few days SVN. For example yesterdays build would work but for the lack of progress bar.

    Visualisations... well, I have MP running on 3 machines, and I have a friend running another setup at his house. I'm not sure there is a common hardware component between any of them, and NONE of our setups show anything usefull as a visualisation. It's off topic for this thread because it doesn't seem to be related to Replicant, I get the same under any skin.

    Playing files in WMP is quite a suprise after using MP for a while. I thought that 'Alchemy' meant 'two dots and a a jerky spirograph'.

    I don't get the Sonique problem that Liquid Sky gets, I run Acidspunk and have not had problems (apart from it doing it's own thing regardless of music).

    Also, I'm not seeing any reference to WeatherOverlay in config or 1.0.5, but I miss it. Can I get it back without problems?

    Also tried to replace the year with #Play.Current.Duration, this works, but duration is shown as the total number of seconds instead of mm:ss format, not very readable.

    I'm showing this value in my main Shares window now. Each track has a 3 digit number at the end.

    Ok then, we'll put the visualization problems down to MP. With regard to the track year, this would also appear to be MP related. Looking at the xml files changed on each release it would appear that B2 4x3 is the most up to date, perhaps if you are able to replicate the problems in that skin the devs need to be informed.

    The weatherOverlay problems (and lack of configuration) are definately an MP problem. I wish the devs would sort it out as it's such a nice feature. I guess we'll have to wait until it's sorted out properly.
    If I remeber correctly, dman_lfc had it working in one of the older SVNs, if you look at the SVN changelog you might be able to get a previous SVN to work reliably.

    I have the same problem with Acidspunk (also sonique plugin, is there a WMP version?). The only way around it is to disable the WeatherOverlay.

    I don't think you can run WeatherOverlay with the latest SVN just yet:

    Seems like the author is rewriting it, but no indication when it will be available.

    Hi, have the following problem in mytv for tve3.
    If you replace the Description1 textboxscrollup control with this code:
    Code:
        <control>
          <description>Description1</description>
          <type>textboxscrollup</type>
          <id>15</id>
          <posX>969</posX>
          <posY>128</posY>
          <width>387</width>
          <height>486</height>
          <seperator>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</seperator>
          <label>#TV.View.description</label>
          <font>font12</font>
          <textcolor>White</textcolor>
          <animation effect="fade" time="200">WindowOpen</animation>
          <animation effect="fade" time="200">WindowClose</animation>
        </control>
    the description will appear in the same place as the normat mytvhome ;).
