    This looks good and was ready to try it out. But every time i install that version MP has a critical error on me and dumps. Not just with StreamedMP with Blue aslo. Today I tried the latest skin files and no improvement. Basically I have to uninstall MP and StrmMP to get things back up and running. Thank god for backups. Any suggestions on whats going on with my setup? Latest version of StreamedMP and the latest of MP.

    Do you have MovingPictures 1.0 beta by any chance? There is a known issue with it storing PNG images and MediaPortal trys to cache them on load when generating the cache. As always logs may help us identify the issue you are experiencing.

    Looking good, apart from that I'd like the Media Info where it used to be. It gets so busy in the top bar with those there. They look fine under the summary.

    Hi Zinu, Im not sure what you mean. They have been moved down underneath the summary already (Fanart Style).

    Oh, but I noticed them up top in this screenshot:

    Yeah, that was an older revision of the new setup. I will update the pic when I get a chance. But its definitely beneath the summary now.

    I have some feedback for these new skin files. I guess the best way to show it is by an example :):

    Thanks for the feedback Zinu, that extra space is shared for Series/season view as well which needs to accommodate longer series names and genres.

    I secretly knew about that image in top right not being wide enough for dutch as I did most of my translation testing using that language. I will have a look at making that image wider.

    Thanks for the fast reply!

    So the extra space will be used in later versions? Or just for long episode names?
    And how about the menu button?

    The extra space is already used, when scrolling in list view of Series/Seasons. Try selecting a series name that is very long or has lots of genres and you will see e.g. "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles".

    We dont use it for Long Episode Names, we actually use a textbox control for that so if a episode name is long it covers up to 3 lines. Was a design choice since it didnt look good imo for episode view as a single line.

    One problem with tvseries is that the list control is shared for groups,series,seasons and episodes so you really need to accommodate for all views.

    About the Menu Label, this is actually a setting in the Installer for next version which you can remove if want. But for now all you need to do is remove the image from the media folder.

    Lifearm: I do have movingpictures 1.0, the bad thing is i erased everything and did a clean install to get MP backup and running on the htpc in the bedroom so I do not have any logs for it. Now I have completed another htpc that i am about to go live with and I will load it up on there and grab the logs if I have issues. I don't know why I deleted the logs. If i can recover them I will post it or if it happens to me again i will post it so i can get some feedback from you, thanks for looking out.
