Fidoboy I think its great that you are helping out with the skinning but do you really need a skinning tool?

Take advantage of the layouts (stack and grid), natural selection and imports and you can reduce the amount of markup by 50% of more. Give it a little time and you'll do more in less time in a text editor that you will in a WYSIWIG editor.

In an ideal world the skinning engine would already be using relative coordinates and then life would be even better, not to mention the availability of features already coded but not usable due to the absolute coordinate system currently in use... everyone should PM mPod and make him do some work for a change!!!

Sorry to be a pain but what do these terms mean? Is there a document giving an overview of skinning. I have been playing around using a text editor and things have changed more by luck than judgement. Is there a list of objects that are available and their parameters? Or is it just a matter of look at others and see what hey have done?

I've used these Icons a while on my (former) Ubuntu machine. They are real artwork. You've found the artist fast! On the other hand, you've found him in the most logical place to look :)

    True but have found that some people (no one specifically comes to mind) don't search very well when looking for answers, so I thought I'd help those folks out.

    I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that. MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.

    Actually, you just reminded me of how I have handled this in the past: I merged the contents of an old export.xml with a new one to make a complete file containing the old values I needed and the new values I didn't want to change. Why should it matter if the export file is missing some values? I would expect the import process to...

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
