I have noticed that within the Live TV Section, when I change channels, it shows the current TV channel info/details/logo for a while before displaying the channel I have decided to changed to. I tested this on the default B3 skin and there is no current channel info being dislayed so it appears to be skin related.

Is this the desired design, and if so can an option be included to turn it off or limit the time the current channel info is displayed. I & many other of my family find it a bit confusing at times..

Hi charli, I tested this on Blue3wide and it worked the same ie, the channel info showed for a short period until changing channel. If you do find some option to turn this behaviour off im willing to add it to setup. I dont know the TV section very well

Note what does the 3337 do... When I remove this, the flicker happens everywhere...

3337 is dummy control:

<control>
      <description>dummy (visible when music is playing)</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>3337</id>
      <posX>2000</posX>
      <label>#Play.Current.Album</label>
      <visible>player.hasmedia+control.hastext(3337)</visible>
</control>

Its used to control visibility of other controls e.g. Control.IsVisible(3337) will only evaluate to true if the current player has media and #Play.Current.Album is populated with text.

So any idea about this issue I'm experiencing. Is any one else getting it? Thanks

Global Music Search

are there any skin files for GlobalSearch (version 1.7.0)?
Thanks!

Love this skin and just got ahold of this latest build.

I was wondering if anyone could direct me to tv logos or a template that would look good with this skin. I downloaded the one here in the downloads section but they are rounded and don't fill the box that you see when you hit pause (watching live tv).

Thanks

the tv logos made for streamedmp should automatically be installed with the skin...

Thank you for the reply ftothe3

I had opted to install without the tv logos because I didn't see a US option, only other countries. Was I wrong in assuming that the US wasn't included?

Hi,

my channel logos are rounded too (I'm in NZ and no logos are installed for me!)- I find that box to be a nuisance too, so I deleted the reference to it in my modded TVOSD.xml & tvZAPOSD.xml files.


delete this section from TVOSD.xml

<control>
<description>TV Logo background</description>
<type>image</type>
<posX>6</posX>
<posY>440</posY>
<width>170</width>
<height>170</height>
<texture>imagebg.png</texture>
<keepaspectratio>no</keepaspectratio>
</control>​

delete this section from tvZAPOSD.xml

<control>
<description>TV Logo background</description>
<type>image</type>
<posX>6</posX>
<posY>470</posY>
<width>170</width>
<height>170</height>
<texture>imagebg.png</texture>
<keepaspectratio>no</keepaspectratio>
<visible>!control.isvisible(10)</visible>
</control>​

or try out my modded .xml's (attached) - the box is removed; the original osdbackground.png is used rather than the new one (the new one, osdbackground1.png, is too dark & covers too much of the TV image, imho); and the buttons etc are better aligned.

Hi FantaXP7, you are correct there is no US option for TV Logos. I will add them if someone points me too a good set that is compatible.

With regards to your questions about the template, the answer is NO. We do include an option to install a logos photoshop PSD but thats only for the MediaInfo type logos not the TV logos.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies

I'm not too sure where to go from here. Jeditrav, thanks for posting that little mod there. I may end up using those xmls. Originally I wanted to get a larger image inside that box. If I were to just take it away, it may look cleaner.

<width>170</width>
<height>170</height>

^Is that the dimensions of that box for the channel logo? Perhaps I can make my own template for channel logos in photoshop to make my own logos based off those dimensions.

If not, if I were to remove that box, could I just use larger image sizes for channel logos? Sorry if my wording is a bit off of what I am trying to describe.
