TV-Series Skin files for Blue Two (Non-Wide)

Here are skin file and graphics for B2 if anyone is interested.

Maybe I am the only person still using a CRT but just in case there are others...

Shamelessly based on/copied/taken from Monochrome
So big thanks to Psycho Reptile (Psycho Reptile if you want me to take down the files just say the word)

I have zero graphics skills so if you do not like them just upload better replacements

Only tested with recent MP and TVSeries SVNs so YMMV.

HTH,
patrick

Very well done. I was hacking out a B2 skin myself.

This is better. I will be making some changes to it (such as hiding the video preview - or moving it) and I'll post in a few days.

Great Job!



After playing with this for 45 minutes, this is a great start.

There are a few issues with graphics I'll try and hammer out in the next week. Mostly just transparency, or lack thereof. I'm hardly an expert - having never made a skin before - but I've always been a great copy/paste coder and hack something out with the best of them.

Stay tuned. Still, this is going "live" today - what an excellent plugin!

Good job. Long time I was looking for it (not good at graphics).

So, we're at least in 3 to use a 4:3 screen with BlueTwo

I've got no problem with anyone "butchering" any of my skins - that's the beauty of open source

So I'm using this skin with TVSeries and the last two or three shows in the list don't show a banner. I've got about 8 different series in the library and all the banners show except the last few (Shark and Survivor in this case). Do you think it is skin related or plug-in?

Hi clobber,

I am not sure.
Are you running recent MP and TVSeries versions? SVNs?
It still works from me but my "production" box is using SVN versions close to when I uploaded the skin files.
I can update MP to the current SVN on my dev box and test if you want.

Thanks Patrick,

I'm still running 0.2.3. Perhaps I should update to RC1? Won't have time to do that for a while. If you have the time, could you quickly test on 0.2.3. This is not a major issue....

bluetwo skins issues

Hi everyone! First post on the board, and I'm sorry if this has been posted somewhere else.

patrick, I like the skin mod. I was wondering why after I got the plugin working why I couldn't get it to show in BlueTwo 4:3. Well I think I found a bug. If I knew how to fix it, I would but I suck at coding right now. Still learning.

But here's the bug:

When I go from listening to music to switching to the My TVSeries plugin, the now playing screen shows up at the bottom left corner of the screen until I stop the music. It still shows when it's paused, but after I stop whatever is playing it goes away. I have no viz running (mainly because I don't see the purpose, most of my friends prefer the now playing scene to a viz in the corner) so I don't think that's the problem.

Now I'm not sure how to get a log of this if it would even show up, but let me know if I can and how and I'll post the logs here.


Thanks in advance!

PS: does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to make/edit skins for MP? I'm trying to learn, but need some more reading material to get everything into my head.
