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

[petrovice]

NanoGOD,

I have added screenshots on page 4! Please have a look, and I hope you can fix these!

Thanks!
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
the size of the fonts looks really scary Are you using MP on a Vista machine? Have you changed the DPI size?
If yes, please go back to 96dpi and clear the cache of theatre skin. Now everything should be back in line.

@ammmze
I have tried your mod for the MyRecordings. Still got the same issue with it - the page shows only the title

Greetings,
Peter

Petrovice,

MP is running on an XP machine. I have not adjusted anything, so no DPI change. How can I change the DPI setting?

Thanks
Marcel

Did you just copy mytvrecordedtv.xml? You also need the common.facade.xml file too!

Well if you haven't changed anything then your DPI is probably still 96 but you can check if you...
Right click on desktop -> Select Properties
Go to the Settings tab - Click Advanced
In that window there should be a setting for DPI, it should be set to normal for 96 DPI

My DPI is 96. So just normal. BTW I am running MP 1.1a may be that's the problem

Then don´t mind - the DPI setting is only important for Vista User.

Maybe

Jap, I have copied all xml files from your zip file into the skin folder. Weather is now also broken and I am getting the XOAP error message the first time.

That is strange, I wonder why you still can't see the action menu. As for the weather thing, a quick search on the forum shows what the deal is with that. Found here is the forum where it was discussed. Then in this post here, one of the developers made a fixed dll for the weather. Phew that is comforting, for a minute I thought I had changed something in the skin that messed up the weather, but I haven't touched it...lol. Anyways the XOAP error comes because the weather channel changed their API (aka the way the programs interact with each other). So MediaPortal wasn't sending the right info to get a response, so that new WindowPlugins.dll should fix it. I haven't tried yet, but will soon.

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 nanogod,

• the "°C" overlap the "fair"
• the "bft" is out of the screen"
• should be the five weather pic's on this position?

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.

Hi there!

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I had a lot of work to do and was tiered on the evening

okay so if the issue with the tv recordings is the action menu not coming up i found the problem, it actually lies in the common.facade.xml
under the listcontrol element it is missing the onleft and onright tags. so i added them to my xml and it works perfectly.

anyways let me know if that is not the only bug. currently that is the only one i saw.

oh yea and about that fadelabel for videos going all the way across the screen, i just added a second control one only goes part way across the other goes all the way and then just added another visible condition so that when there is media in the player it will use the short label and when there isn't media in the player it will span the text across the whole screen. seems to work pretty nicely.

I also changed the size of the thumbnails in filmstrip view of moving pictures. I am not very familiar with the facade views tags so hopefully it is all okay. anyways i attached a zip file with a couple of the xml's i have changed. i think the only changes in these xmls are the width of the fadelabels for videos and moving pictures and the size of filmstrip thumbs in moving pictures, then also the changes for tv recordings so that the action menu shows up when you push left or right.

Is the weather plugin working for anyone? I get some XOAP error. Not sure what that is yet, guess I will have to check out the xml.

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!

I also think that this is a prob with 1.1a. I never seen such scary fonts...

Thanks for this screens. i will try to reproduce this and fix it in the next Version.

Thanks Marvman
1. and 2. Are you running mp on 4:3 (your screens look like this. So this may be the issue. theatre is only usable at 16:9. Sorry.
3. No, but this is a problem with the weatherplugin itself. Look here: weather error I hope this is getting solved. At the moment there seems to be no possibility too use large weather backdrops and smal icons at the same time.

Cheers
