    StreamedMP v0.8 has just been re-released, only a few changes:

    * Updated packaged TVseries dll, includes critical fix for missing episodes and seasons in GUI
    * Added MediaSlayer plugin support, thx thesystemera
    * Added Shadows to labels in TVSeries playlist
    * Fixed BasicHome Editor pointing to wrong My Pictures images directory

    hm, I can't select MediaSlayer in the Streamed MP Editor. I think because it has the same Windows ID as myVideo (ID: 6). If I change the ID of MediaSlayer.xml I can add it in the Generator, but the plug-in won't open in MP.

    sorry to ask this here, but it's too hard to find the answer anywhere else.

    I'd like my music albums to be displayed on the screen as simply the album covers. I've managed to get it that way by using layout:filmstrip. However, there's no text displayed, only the album covers.

    I seem to have spent hours fiddling around with the music layout and it just frustrates me how inordinately complicated it is. I know there's no coverflow, but all I want is to view my collection as covers, sorted the way I want - either by artist, or by album name.

    The problem right now is that it displays all my albums, but not their titles, so it's really hard to find what I'm looking for. Most albums don't have their name on the cover, so theres no way to know what the name is.

    Is there an option in this skin to have it display the artist/album name at the same time while in icon, large icon, filmstrip mode etc?

    Not right now, but I will add it.

    Hey great! That'd make things easier to understand.

    One thing tho regarding this version - why does the xml file have to be edited to change the version number so that it runs with MP 1.0.1? I thought this version was intended for 1.0.1.

    I'm really trying to stay away from the constant stream of alpha and beta code that gets released in perpetuity with things like MP. It inevitably leads to constant updating, configuring, tweaking, and trolling through forums looking for answers. (I've done it for years; now I just want to run released versions of things and be done with it).

    I waited a long time for 1.0.1 to come out (and I'm grateful!) and avoided the SVN releases of MP and StreamedMP. I'd prefer to use a "1.0.1" fully compatable version of StreamedMP.

    I'm a bit worried that resources will be spent on tweaking the next beta version of StreamedMP rather than on getting a "1.0" release out (or whatever the correct numbering sequence would be to indicate the next "released" version of StreamedMP), and that my waiting will be endless.

    Should I just bite the bullet and use this beta, or will there be a cap to the changes being made so that a final 1.0.1-compatible version is released?

    This is just how MediaPortal is designed, its to inform the user that they are either using an unsupported skin whether it be old or new. Basically a 'Bugger Off' in the forums if you have problems using MediaPortal with that skin.

    Up until the release day of MP 1.0.1 the version had not been updated, Unfortunately if we had set this version before the final v1.0.1 then we would of still got a warning message when trying to load the skin. We will re-re-release v0.8 to address this issue.

    Should I just bite the bullet and use this beta, or will there be a cap to the changes being made so that a final 1.0.1-compatible version is released?

    I would wait a couple more days, hopefully tomorrow will have time to upload a new build which will not only include the version fix but also the selected item names in My Music as well as some other minor updates/fixes.

    Hi, first of all thx for this awesome skin it is one of the things that make mp stand out compared to other htpc apps.

    One tiny little thing though: Would it be possible to add the name of the series to the playlist view?

    thx
