Hi,
spuck and I are trying to create an xml file for the xface skin and the tv-series plugin. We'd like to utilize a thumbnail panel to display seriesbanners. All works well, see screenshot below:
Screenshot with 3x3 grid that works as it should
However the problem arises as soon as a we make the thumbnailpanel high enough, so that more rows than columns fit. So the grid of NxM items works well as long as n<=m, which means the 3x3 grid in the screenshots works, while a 4x3 (or what we'd like, a 5x3) grid does not.
The problems is that the items are there, except rows below the M's row (M being the number of columns) they do not get rendered, but you can still select and interact with them (for instance the selected item's skin property gets updated (as in the screenshot in the thread below).
Screenshot in modified xface my videos page displaying a 4x3 grid incorrectly.
I have also tested this independend of the tvseries plugin, by simply altering some xml of the xface skin's video page. See the thread below for more details. It leads me to believe that this could be a bug/limitation of the thumbnailpanel, that I believe has been around for a while. But since usually there are more rows than columns (TVSeries is differente because the banners that are eing displayed are very wide but not very high), I believe very few people if any have so far run into this. I do not know of any skin/page where there are more rows than columns being displayed (are there?).

There is also a bit of discussion about it in the general xface thread, starting here
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showpost.php?p=189945&postcount=500
What I'd like is someone to confirm my observations (and conclusions) - or tell me I'm an idiot - and perhaps ask if a dev could look into this "issue". If it turns out to be correct it's probably just a loop that gets exited too quickly because the assumption was made, either by mistake or on purpose, that there are always more columns than rows.
Thank you
