    Thanks PD, can you change the tick icon thing to a highlight, similar the the buttons in MovingPictures. I.e. highlight the line with the same fading image??

    Can do, good idea to... I'll see what I can do ;)

    How about this...? More subtle than the list gfx because it's always the first focused control when going to the basic home screen;)

    Weather background doesn't work

    After that it looks for fanart in /skinname/media/animations/<imagepath> (movies is a, <imagepath>, music etc.)
    This will work for both indigo and monochrome.

    Now I already changed it around a bit cause I thought it was stupid to have the bg control in there 2 times (which was needed to have the indigo look when there's no fanart), so on my current setup I also have fanart for news and the server button I use to wake the server if needed (which are just plain images instead of multiimages). So for me I always see fanart, do not use a mouse so all controls have their associated images.

    Hello joz, hello everybody.

    Unfortunately, my weather background with the fanartified Basichome doesn't work.
    I tried to set it to a specified imagepath (copied line from music bg control to that and linked to the folder "weather"); But doesn't work...

    What do I have to do to get it working like it should? Where is this "weather.jpg" located and from where does it come?


    Anyway: Thanks a lot for that nice code! Monochrome was a bit grey, but now it has some sublime and good looking gimmicks. Well done.:)

    Regards, Fafnir.

    Personally I use x-factor weather images. My code looks for this;
    <skinname>/media/animations/weatherbg/<cur weather condition as number>/weather.jpg

    Hey joz.
    Thanks for the support. Turns out that your description helped to debug that nice fanart thingi.
    Unfortunately, there is another obstacle, see attached picture: Weather icons now dispappeared from the Basichome weather pop-up.

    Any idea? Did anyone meet this problem, too? I deleted the cache, checked for the icons, etc.

    This could be a problem of the infoservice plugin. I don't know why this happens. Can you tell me your steps until this problem occured?

    Btw: I love the fanart layout. Could you upload your changes?

    Hmm, this can be the reason.
    My changes are infact no changes. I just didn't know which format the weather background folder, but I installed the xfactor skin and took the folder from there. Now the background works, but the icons are gone...

    Anyway, please find attached my basichome xml attached. I entered some German translation but it is not finished yet, because I wanted to change some links in it...
    My infoservice is the one delivered with the last version of Monochrome/ Indigo.

    Sorry, have to leave know. Bye!

    Found the reason. It WAS the infoservice...Just copied again over the existing file and all was fine.

    I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that. MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.

MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
