[skin update] "theatre" simple to use and nice to view (1 Viewer)

[Marvman]

yep, but this should not be the topic of this thread, i really don't have probs with tha ratio i thought it's an skin issue. But i wonder that the used items in the skins are alligned on a pixel basis and not relative (percental). If the skin is finished, i can customize by myself

You are right that is not the topic of the thread lol...but yea the items on the skin are placed by pixel. The way the mediaportal skinning works is in the references.xml you set the resolution you are designing for then the label's and image's and what not are placed by pixel in relation to that set resolution so for this one it is 1280x720 and then mediaportal takes that and scales it to whatever your resolution is, so I can see why there would be issues with a 4:3 resolution. I suppose that a 4:3 version of this skin wouldn't help either because then it would all be stretched.

yep, but thanks for explanation, i'll play with the settings.

Anybody know what causes this error?

Is it possible to de-activate the warning message that shows on start-up?

Yes you can...in the references.xml...near the top on line 7 it says <version>1.0.2.0</version>, change that to <version>1.0.1.0</version>

It seems like when they release MediaPortal 1.0.2.0 they forgot to change the skin version check to the same version, so if it doesn't see it as one that it recognizes it throws the warning message.

Thanks a lot

that looks like the weather issue mentioned in several posts. You can find a fix by searching for "weather"

Hey petrovice,
maybe you could zip up all the xml files in the skin\theatre folder so I can see if I have the same issue with recordings as you. Maybe I made a change to another xml file to fix it and just forgot to include it in the zip file.

Edit:
Just tried the new WindowPlugins.dll and it worked like a charm, no XOAP errors, but the layout does need to be fixed.

Hi ammmze,
thanks for the hint with the WindowPlugins.dll, Weather is working fine again! But the icons are now wrong and the view is not as ist should be.
@nanogod: more work for you

You can simple reproduce my setup by downloading the 0.7 Beta and copy your mods into it. No other changes where made.

Greetings,
Peter

@petrovice
I just reinstalled fresh .70 beta and copied my mods over and recordings worked just fine. Are you using Vista? I don't know that this will make a difference, but is worth a shot...try deleting the theatre cache folder, it is found in "C:\Users\All Users\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\". Go there and delete the folder called theatre...don't worry about backing it up, MediaPortal builds that folder when it loads. I think that mostly has to do with images and fonts, but maybe it will do the trick. Or try copying the mods again making sure to overwrite current files.

Thanks Ammmze. On my setup the myrecordings i working fine (even the actionmenu). Only on Vista, it seems that there is content (no recordings are showing on the right...
Thanks for your mod. I will have a look at it over this weekend. Really appreciated!

That is strange on my machine I do get the content, are you sure that you have recorded content. Maybe your vista machine isn't hooked up to the server.

Hi ammmze,
thanks for you suggestions! Yesterday I have reinstalled the 0.7 Version, by deleting the skin and the cache folder and then copied your files into theatre folder.

Recordings is working fine with B3W and Bleazle Skin, so there is no problem with my configuration. With theatre the recording view stays empty. Suddenly there are no errors in the log which would help to find the issue.

@all: Is recodings working fine for you or is your view empty?

Greetings,
Peter

I like it.
But of course it has some bugs.

For example the weather page... looks nice BUT the contrast from temperature text and background is bad (see screenshot).
BTW i like the weather images idea, but to get a quick overview it is hard to understand/realize what image stands for sunny, cloudy, rainy weather! The standard icons are better and absolutely clear to understand.
-> The pictures are nice anyway.

Once there where icons. But a few day ago, the weather channel changed something in their api, so this is a problem with the plugin. I have planed to have backdrops and small icons in the overview. So i hope it is getting fixed soon. (look a few posts back. the problem is discussed there).

I only have XP! My working machine and my htpc are both xp. Petrovice was my "Alphatester" as he is running vista on his htpc. I think that this problem is real strange. But to stop searching for a myterious bug, i deceided to start with this file from scratch, using blue3wide as a basis. I hope this way this annoying bug is getting fixed!

Cheers &
