Skins not showing up in Config. (1 Viewer)

[PingviN]

I recently installed latest stable (1.0.2) and now, I cant change skin. I added Monochrome by pasting the right folder into the skin-folder and installed all the plugins. Still, it wont show up. Ideas why?

Sorry to ask: Are you absolutely sure you used correct folder?

If so, it should be something like C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skins
- there you should have
Folder: [Name of skin]
Inside folder [Name of skin]: XML files and a [Media] folder


(^ This is since you use 1.0.2. For 1.1, it is different)

Yepp, it's the right folder, double checked. And inside the skin folder (i just added) is the xml and the media folder. Weird, huh?

 

[Spragleknas]

Hm... and you are ofcourse sure you are using 1.0.2?

Perhaps you could try another skin, like StreamedMP (this has a fool proof .exe setup).

Please list your OS, btw

Did you restart MediaPortal? Sometimes I've noticed just shutting it down doesn't really end the process. Perhaps a reboot of your computer will fix this.

Emph

100% sure, checked version in the config.

Will try StreamedMP and the reboot, thanks for the advice.

Doesn't skin go in programdata directory on vista/Win7?

That's only from 1.1.0 alpha.
User posted he is on 1.0.2

Reboot didnt work
StreamedMP does not show up
Version is 1.0.4 (according to "Project" in the Configuration)
In my Skins folder is Blue and BlueWide

Just for fun, try to delete or rename the Blue3Wide skin-folder (if that is the skin you see on startup). If that doesn't give you an error then you're looking in the wrong folder.
