1.4.x Themes: BasicHome, Clear Art's support for Titan, Weather icon on screen, bugfixes and more. (4 Viewers)

No text, just vertical bars where cover art is missing.

If you press H button and again H button, the some?

How do I get it to use the images from
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\Themes\MePo\Media\Weather\BG

If there are pictures in folders for each weather state, then FanartHandler should show them if it is selected.
If there are no pictures, you can try to install them from the package: mediaportal.images.weather/build at master · andrewjswan/mediaportal.images.weather

Trakt showing missing overlay and text

There should be an overlay, check if there is an Inf_gfx.png file in the Titan skins folder or in the Themes folder.
If not, download it mediaportal-skin-themes/Titan/Themes/MePo/Media/Inf_gfx.png at master · andrewjswan/mediaportal-skin-themes
Text sometimes does not give Trakt plugin itself, because of small timeout ... But it is often solved by switching to the normal home page and back (press H and H).

H does not do anything

Fanart is there for weather already. Just not showing up.

H means switch to Home and switch back to Basic Home screen

You have images in "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Skin FanArt\Media\Weather\Backdrops\"

Yes, already there.

I see. No problem with text inside plugin.

You have images in "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Skin FanArt\Media\Weather\Backdrops\"

No, I do in a different location.
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\Themes\MePo\Media\Weather\BG
Do I need to copy them there?

I installed the weather pack and weather backgrounds now work.
I selected the weather buttons for mepo as well but it added images to an unrequired location.


Fanart weather now not blank.

I have worked out why Moving Pictures does not work.

The problem is with the HyperlinkParameter not converting the value to something it expects.
Not sure what value is being passed but removing the parameter value displays the first page of moving pictures.
To open in a category you can add a parameter value like "categoryid:16" without the quotes.
"All Movies" - categoryid:15
"Unwatched Movies" - categoryid:16
"Recently Added Movies" - categoryid:16

Best be to leave the parameter value empty as this is the default behaviour and allows the user to get to the main menu where they can select the required category. This way, when in a category or even in a movie view you can use H to go to home menu where selecting moving pictures this time will return you to the page you were on while allowing you to back track to the main page of moving pictures.

This would ideally be set in the theme, not manually cleared.

Found the issue to the missing overlay images and covers.

BasicHome.Latests.xml has a group element at the start.
<visible>string.equals(#skin.no.latestmedia,true)</visible>

Tracked it down to SkinSettings.xml
<entry name="#skin.no.latestmedia">False</entry>

Setting Latest Media in Home enabled in the MePo settings is the solution.
How do we change it so anytime you select any Enable latest items, they force Latest Media in Home to be enabled?

As far as I remember it can be set in the button settings, only I don't remember where, I'll have to look.

Tracked it down to SkinSettings.xml
<entry name="#skin.no.latestmedia">False</entry>

This customization is available in the Mediaportal settings in the skins.
