Skin Xtreme (Widescreen 16:9) **** 10/04/2018 - version 1.8.0.0 released **** (3 Viewers)

Dear Community,
Xtreme 1.2.0.0 for MediaPortal 1.3.0 has been released (download here).
There are a lot of new things in this new release, so that I decide to reflect this using a major version numbering.
First of all, as I've anticipated some posts ago, the skin contains a new theme called "Horus" with the horizontal menù for BasicHome.
Ultimately, in addition to the standard layout, the skin contains 4 themes: Hero Day, Hero Night, Hero Racer (previously released as add-on) and Horus.
Another big addition is the Fanart oriented layout selectable into the skin settings. With This setting you can have almost a totally new skin.
I've added a lot of customizations possibility using as much as possible the new skin settings features of MP1.3.
Xtreme doesn't have a menu editor, but I tried to minimize this disadvantage by including a few different menus (6 with TV enabled and 4 without TV) and giving the user the possibility to choose the preferred one in Skin settings.
A particularity of Xtreme are the Top Right WeatherClock and the Analog Clocks; I've tried to bring this aspect of the skin more similar to widgets approach, so in Skin settings you can chose between 3 different types of weatherclock (Hero Style, LG 3D Style and Samurize style) and 12 different Analog Clocks (not all togheter, but a part of them depending of the theme you are using).
In the future I'm thinking to add more choise, releasing other clocks as Add-Ons.

For screenshots see post #1 and #2 (I've updated all of them to this new release).

A special and big thanks goes to [user]Micropolis[/user]; without his very precious help, I wouldn't been able to make LG3D and Samurize Clocks.
A big thanks also to [user]Zegema[/user] for his help in Spanish translations (for other localizations I've used Google translator, so if something is wrong, it is... a big G fault ).

As always, comments, suggestions and critics are really really welcome.

Have fun

Hi Marduk65, last night I installed the latest version of the skin and now the progress bar does not appear in the videos.

Hi Zegema,
are you using the version of post #145 with MediaPortal 1.3.0 ?
If yes (as I think) this is the root cause of your issue, because that version is for MediaPortal 1.4.0 Pre Release.
One of the changes from MP1.3 to MP1.4 is just related to the progress bar of MyVideos (the control to be used in xml files must be tvprogress instead of progress), so using that version with MP1.3 could result in a malfunction.
In conclusion: with MP1.3 you have to use Xtreme ver. 1.2.0.0, while Xtreme ver. 1.2.1.0 is only for MP1.4 (I've checked both versions and there are no problems with videos progress bar).

Hope this resolve your issue

Hola

Installed yesterday with MePo 1.4PR but I received an incompatibility problem. Something wrong in my configuration?

Hi mrwinch,
this evening I'll check the installer (I cannot do it now because I'm at work) to see if something is wrong; in the meantime, to install the skin, when you're asked to install plugins including with Xtreme (one of the first screen of the installer) you can uncheck the first voice (plugins). In this way the version of InfoService included into the package won't be installed (you can install the latest version of it using MPE Installer).

Let me know if this "little trick" dab your problem

Thanks
Ciao

...rebuilded, tested and uploaded the installer; now all should be ok (maybe previously something's gone wrong in building the package )
