Skin Settings XML (1 Viewer)

[aj1405]

It seems like the plugin does not import formatrules that is empty (space)

For example:

<Enabled>1<Format>(My rating: )<FormatAs>

does this work with StreamedMP-0.3.270 ?

 

[ltfearme]

Nope, but v0.4.xxx will ship with the installer. So there will be no more need to follow a TVSeries setup guide.

Now if this functionality was available for other screens I'd love it. I can't get my head around the my Music screens to get them the way I want. I keep seeing lists of blank folders labelled A through Z for albums. I just want nice album covers listed that I can scroll through regardless of what letter of the alphabet it starts with. I've been searching for screenshots that I like and can ask the owner how they set theirs up but haven't found any.

Having skins that come with pre-configured screens would be ideal, since the skin author is usually a fairly good visual artist and I'll likely just want to adopt all their settings, rather than system defaults.

Hi Damien,

A BIG for your fantastic work. Just tested the TVSeries.SkinSettings.xml that you provided for PureVisionHD and the new release of TVSeries and it works absolutely SUPER! I´m using the latest SVN of MP 1.0 and TVSeries works fine now.

I have updated the DLL in the post after doing some testing for myself. I also went ahead and created a SkinSettings pack for the following skins:

* Aeon wide
* Black & White 1080
* Monochrome
* Indigo
* PureVisionHD
* Indigo
* Titanium
* Xface

A few things I noticed while looking at the various formattingRules/LogoRules:

* Some skins had logo rules defined in a non-relative path e.g. C:\Program Files, I updated such that they are relative to Mediaportals skin directory e.g. skin\Monochrome\Media\TVSeries\Logos
* Most skins did not appear to have logos distributed so I tested by copying Monochromes logos into the respective skins Media\TVSeries\Logos directory
* Aeon wide had logo\formatting rules but the logo rules dont appear to work in the default TVSeries.xml as part of the package. This is perhaps by design

why are blue3 and blue3wide not included? to make the plugin as user friendly as possible i think including these two skins is the starting point.

Because the Blue3 & Blue3Wide skins for TVSeries are not finished yet....when they are it surely will be.

fair enough.

its just that i see how in this forum and in other spanish ones, people keep asking why tvseries does not work. and 90% of the time is cause missing skin, or skin related problem with default one.

it was discussed in IRC to ask plugin devs to use mpi and include always default skins. hope when the new stable release comes, this can be done.

So I should wait?

Any idea when a Blue 3 wide would be completed? Don't mean to rush... but I wish I saw this 2 days ago as I have been struggling to get it to work properly.

Might be a good idea to tell people who are using the default skin to wait.

Though I got some of the features to work and some series work perfectly, the other half don't load correctly and sometimes it even freezes media portal.

However, what an impressive looking plug-in. From the configuration setup... I can see a lot of thought and hard work went into it. I'll be waiting big-time to get this to work properly. But I'm going to give up until there's a Blue 3 skin as I already spent too many hours getting other plug-ins and features working with this skin and I don't wish to change now.

Thanks!
