1.4.x Themes: BasicHome, Clear Art's support for Titan, Weather icon on screen, bugfixes and more. (3 Viewers)

I am trying to use MePo for Titan and none of the plugins enabled via TitanEditor appear on the home page.
Am I missing or using the wrong editor?

You can see in the screenshot below none of the 5 items have images or are selectable.

Its Ares based editor:

• Set your plugins by directly pressing f9/info on the tile

That's it, Thanks!

Where did you get the cool thumbnails? Is there a pack?

MePo theme has a couple of issues.

MP-TV Series and Moving Pictures show hover text is hard to read, and has strange vertical lines to the left.
Maybe a gray overlay is not found.
See image below with the red box outlining the vertical lines. I assume this is the OV Latest Display.



Moving Pictures plugin name does not come through. See below it's called MovingPictures.



Here in the Moving Pictures options Plug-in name is set to Movies.

Is there a pack?

This package comes in Skins.

That's odd, why don't you have previews for the buttons loaded? Also the background for the tooltip is not loaded.

There are no Cover images from the series plugin.

Moving Pictures plugin name does not come through. See below it's called MovingPictures.

I don't use it, I'm more comfortable with the built-in MyVideo plugin. But I'll check it out. It should work.

Let's first figure out why you don't have pictures, and then we'll figure out something about Moving Pictures.

• Close Media Portal, check that in Themes Themes/MePo/Media/btn folder there are pictures for buttons - big, medium, small.
• If there are, clean the cache for Titan skin, and start Media Portal.
• If not, you should probably reinstall the Theme.

If there are icons, but pictures are not displayed, then you need a Log file with debugging information for Media Portal.

PS: When you pressed F9, there's no picture selection, is there? In my opinion, there is a picture icon on each button, and you can set a name.

Found them.
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\Themes\MePo\Media\btn
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\Themes\MePo\Media\Weather\Buttons

That's odd, why don't you have previews for the buttons loaded? Also the background for the tooltip is not loaded.

If you mean the custom thubnails it's because I did not have any to use yet. But now I know where they are I will.
Not sure why the tooltip background is missing. What's it called and I will check it exists?

There are no Cover images from the series plugin.

I don't understand, there are cover images MP-TVSeries is using.
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MPTVSeriesBanners

I assumed that I would need to browse for a thumbnail image on my local drive and did not expect to select from a list men.
So I did not attempt to add an image. In my defence it was almost 4am and I was really tired.

Did a test and it turns out TV Series is not read from the plugin name setting like I assumed.
I set moving pictures to Movies.

It is tricky getting the thumbnails to work. Seems a little glitchy and sometimes requires a restart of media portal to work.

Logs attached. Noticed an error.
Maybe the error was caused last night when I decided to switch positions of moving pictures and tv series. But I doubt it.
I did find that the thumbnail name must be unique. But there is no warning about having the same name.

How do I get the weather to be dynamic for background and thumbnail?
