Hi,
I have cofigured MP not to use animations in the Home Plugin but the zoom out and zoom in is still there (I do not know what to call it.. ).

In the log it says the following:
2010-03-09 11:35:21.671875 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: GraphicContext: MP will render at 50 FPS, use animations = True

Is the a configuration that I have missed or is it a bug.

best regards

Since you are concerned that you might have missed a configuration setting, could you tell us exactly where you think you have set it not to use animations?

Hi,
In previous versions there was configuration under General i think, one could turn off both GUI sound effects and GUI animations. Now the configuration sections has changed for these two choices.

I have turned off sound effects under General -> Skin. Result: Sound effects is removed.
I have turned off animations in the Home Plugin under Plugins -> Home - Configuration. Result: Nothing changes that I can see.

The problem for me is that when going to TV from Basic Home, the menu items are "zoomed out" and the MP blue background is viewed for quite a few seconds before TV starts. Before, the TV-section came up directly without the zooming of the menu.

Should not this configuratin changes work as before? Where can I configure MP so the log states "use animations = False" otherwise?

best regards

If I remember correctly the option for disabling GUI animations has been removed on purpose. There were some bigger issues in the skinning engine and we don't have anyone to fix those.

Ok and thanks,
then I understand this new behaviour.
