Simplify (1 Viewer)

[Jean-Marc]

Thank you for this skin: I was waiting for something like that!!

BUT I have problems: Till now I used Blue 2 skin 4:3 in MP 0.2.2.1 (march 19) and everything was working well.

The problem now is that the filmstrip view for music and pictures doesn't work. For music, I see the art cover in the filmstrip but it is impossible to see any one inside the black space, above the filmstrip. And more, with the arrow keys, to go from one music to another, the art cover is not highlighted but hidden by a white square!

Second problem:
When I enter into the plugin "news" , the picture of the newspapers, normally only seen on the home page, remains ! so the text of the news is mixed with the picture and it is difficult to read.

What could be done? Must I use a newest SVN?

Thanks very much for your help!!

Hi all, I have updated Simplify with the code from surfermc and Stor-Anders. added DialogueTvConflict.xml as suggested by SoylentCola but am unable to check the 'record button is blank when you record from the program guide' error.

I removed the news icon for Jean-Marc but found the filmstip view worked fine here. I'm not sure what the issue was/is. I would make sure you're up to date with the latest SVN.

Thank you Grassynoel, you are great!

I didn't try your new version yet (is it in the general downloads?) but I thank you!

If you have no problem with the filmstrip view, the problem is mine and I must check, maybe download the very last SVN, maybe the problem is due to another plugin I recently added (mylyrics, basic home controller)?

Concerning Patrick's plugin "basic home controller", when I open it I also have a picture displayed and that is a problem (the one that represents connectors plugged...)

I also have a suggestion: as I use MP with a dedicated computer, I want to simplify the 3 buttons of the home menu: I do not need the one used just to close MP, and I would like to have the possibility to shut down the computer in the way I previously have choosen (sleep or hibernate) without the need of the sub menu (this is important when you have for example one MP client in each bedroom and any user-friend, child, grandmother...must be able to shut down MP in the easiest way possible!!)

A great thing would be to have these possibilities to be set thru the setting menu of MP in "general" ("click the buttons you want to display" "chose the behaviour of the button: hibernate or sleep")

THANK YOU a lot to have eliminated the "basichrome" button, this is a great decision!!

last question: when I am in your home menu, if I click again on the "H" key, a "basic home" screen appears called "radio", with the date...is that normal??

Just to let you guys know, Glenn has not been able to get his TV Tuner (lifeview external dual USB) to work with MP. I know this is not the right section, but incase anyone asks regarding MyTV.

 

[Jean-Marc]

Mzemina, do you mean that the "simplify" skin doesn't work with TV?
As I don't have tuner card at this moment, I could not check that.
Thanks!

 

[Spragleknas]

It works with TV - just that future development on this is not easy to do for Glenn.

 

[grassynoel]

Correct. That's where the help I've been getting has been very handy.

Hi, I have recognized some problems with the window handling in the SVN's since middle march. When "pop up windows" appear, they won't go away, but video and(or audio will keep working.
Typical example is if you listen to music and shall open a playlist. The playlist window appears, but won't disappear when you have choosen a playlist. After that, the whole GUI hang and don't react on any keypresses/remote commands.

Anyone have ideas about this?

(MP works fine with Blue Two, but that's not my kind of skin, I really like Simplify)

Hi Glenn.
Is this skin "dead" or will there be an update for 0.2.3.0?

It is a very nice skin so I hope you can continue with it.

Thanks a lot!

 

[grassynoel]

Well, It's not really dead but I haven't got Media Portal on my machine anymore so I may not get to it in a hurry. Leave it with me. I'll try to allocate some time to check the new build out
