Furetto I tried that, but it seemed a little bit of buggy, so I'll keep the regular vertical menu until I can make some time to update to the SVN. Thanks for the tip tho!

Another "problem" that I have is that when I use TVSeries (with the included TVSeries.xml) there is a problem kind of like the one that some describe a couple of posts up, where they see a big 1 (from the clock) on the right side. But instead this happens for me at the bottom where you have this "3-way option" where you choose how to sort the different series (Favorites, Genre....). The one to the left and the one to the right look normal, but the one that you are currently on is abnormally big and only the top is shown. I guessed that this should be somewhere in one of the xml's (preferrably TVSeries.xml) but I just couldn't find the right value. So if anyone has a clue, please help me out
Same thing happens in My Videos...(see second pic.)

Thanks in advance,
Karamellz~

    Basic home screen should work with the stabel relese...i think. You will not get some nice reflections on some of the textures, but the spining function should work. What is to buggy that make it unusible in youre opinion?

    This is very strange. Before when this has been reported, they have used a resulotion that was diffrent from me, but if i look at youre screens you seem to use 1360x768 just like me. I have never seen this bug. Are you using the stabel relese or one of the SVN:s? in that case what build?

    Another thing you can test, is to delete the SpinSafe Revolve folder placed in /mediaportal\cache\ and then restart MP.


    If nothing helps, edit the following values so it looks normal.

    TVSeries edit TVSeries.xml

    Code:
    <control>
    			<type>label</type>
    			<description>cur_view</description>
    			<id>77</id>
    			<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowClose</animation>
    			<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>
    			<animation effect="zoom" start="70,70" end="100,100" center="640,360"  time="400" >WindowOpen</animation>
    			<animation effect="zoom" start="100,100" end="130,130" center="640,360"  time="400" >WindowClose</animation>
    			<posX>540</posX>
    			<posY>683</posY>
    			<width>200</width>
    			<align>center</align>
    			<textcolor>FFA9D0F7</textcolor>
    			<font>[B]font18[/B]</font>
    		</control>

    Test font16, font13...


    My video edit common.bottombar.xml

    Code:
    <control>
    				<description>Selected item Label</description>
    				<type>fadelabel</type>
    				<id>547</id>
    				<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowClose</animation>
    				<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>
    				<animation effect="zoom" start="70,70" end="100,100" center="640,360"  time="400" >WindowOpen</animation>
    				<animation effect="zoom" start="100,100" end="130,130" center="640,360"  time="400" >WindowClose</animation>
    				<posX>210</posX>
    				<posY>635</posY>
    				<width>850</width>
    				<label>#selecteditem</label>
    				<font>[B]font18[/B]</font>
    				<align>left</align>
    				<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    				<visible>!Player.HasMedia</visible>
    			</control>

    EDIT: I might have squashed this bug. Test download and copy this new fonts.xml file.
    And then delete the spinsafe revolve folder like i described before.

    Can anyone confirm that the new fonts.xml fix the oversized labels.

    Girlfriend was here the entire evening so no comp u know. Just let me fire up the laptop and I'll have it tested in a couple of minutes.

    Thanks for the effort!

    (Tackar o bockar :))

    ADD: Yep you did it! Fastest fix ever ;) Thank you very much (I never deleted any "cache"-folder since there never was any, but it worked anyhow).

    Perfect. :D
    You had no cache folder because you evidently use the stabel version...forgot that option ( the cache technique has been changed seens the stable relese).
    You have the cache files direcly in the skin folder. I think it for the best if you delete these files, otherwise you can get blank screens and other nasty problems when you start MP.

    - Go to the SpinSafe Revolve skin (/mediaportal/skins/SpinSafe Revolve/)
    - Delete the packegeXX.png files and packageXX.bxml. ( something like that, dont realy remember the exact nameing).
    - Delete the fonts folder.
    - restart MP.

    I might have missunderstod you. What did you do to make it work? I thougt you had tryed the new fonts.xml, but now i see that it has 0 views, so i gues it was not that one who made it work.

    Nope, I used the fonts.xml that you posted. I guess the logging is just a bit slow or smth, I even downloaded it twice.

    (After that I switched to SVN, wanted to have reflections and some other stuff too. Basically there's only one thing left that I'm wondering about. I don't think it's skin specific, but since you have it in one of the screens on the first page I'mma ask it anyways.

    I got the linkage to IMDB and so to work, but still when I'm viewing my Movie folder, and I highlight any movie, it still displays the filename in the bottom, and not the brief IMDB info that you have on your screen. Is that a custom solution? Thankful for an answer....)

    You have the solution on this screen for example...
    attachment.php

    You have to change to a view that uses the database. I use the "Title" view.
    - Press on the change view button
    - Choose "Title".
