Wide Banners Layout Issue (1 Viewer)

[MrBobC]

Hello All,

I have something of a conundrum. I have MediaPortal installed on 3 Client computers, and on two of them, when I use the wide banners layout, there are three banners to a row. On the other one, however, there are only two banners. I don't believe it has to do with screen size or resolution because I used to get three to a row on the one I only get two on now, and I can't find a setting to change it for the life of me. Help?

There is no setting that defines the number of banners per row, this is controlled by you skin.

Damien,

Where in the skin might I find the setting? I am using the blue3wide skin on all 3 pcs, the lowest resolution is 1920x1080, the highest is 2560x1600. One of the two 1920x1080 pcs has the problem, but it did not always.

The layout for the banners are defined in TVSeries.xml:

<control>
          <description>graphical thumbpanel (series and/or seasons if set)</description>
          <type>thumbnailpanel</type>
          <id>50</id>
          <posX>13</posX>
          <posY>92</posY>
          <width>1280</width>
          <height>500</height>
          <!-- up/down buttons & page # -->     
		  <onleft>2</onleft>
          <onright>2</onright>		  
          <spinPosX>-50</spinPosX>
          <spinPosY>-50</spinPosY>
		  <spinCanFocus>no</spinCanFocus>
          <spinColor>ffffffff</spinColor>
          <!-- Textures -->
          <imageFolder>-</imageFolder> 			
          <!-- Text -->
          <font>font10</font>
          <selectedColor>00ffffff</selectedColor>
          <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
          <colordiffuse>ffffffff</colordiffuse>
          <remoteColor>FF868686</remoteColor>
          <!-- watched color -->
          <downloadColor>FFFFFFFF</downloadColor>
          <!-- not watched color (normal) -->
          <textcolor>FFC14E4A</textcolor>
          <!-- local file not present color -->
          <textcolor2>FFC14E4A</textcolor2>
          <!-- local file not present color  column 2-->
          <textcolor3>FFC14E4A</textcolor3>
          <!-- local file not present color column 3-->
          <suffix>|</suffix>		  
          <itemWidthBig>412</itemWidthBig>
          <itemHeightBig>86</itemHeightBig>
          <!-- boxes -->
          <textureWidthBig>424</textureWidthBig>
          <textureHeightBig>79</textureHeightBig>
          <!-- banners -->
          <thumbWidthBig>400</thumbWidthBig>
          <thumbHeightBig>74</thumbHeightBig>
          <thumbPosXBig>7</thumbPosXBig>
          <thumbPosYBig>2</thumbPosYBig>
          <thumbZoom>no</thumbZoom>
          <!-- text (No banner) -->
          <textXOff>0</textXOff>
          <textYOff>0</textYOff>
          <keepaspectratio>no</keepaspectratio>
          <enableFocusZoom>no</enableFocusZoom>
          <scrollOffset>1</scrollOffset>
          <unfocusedAlpha>150</unfocusedAlpha>          
        </control>

in particular for widebanners:

<itemWidthBig>412</itemWidthBig>
          <itemHeightBig>86</itemHeightBig>
          <!-- boxes -->
          <textureWidthBig>424</textureWidthBig>
          <textureHeightBig>79</textureHeightBig>
          <!-- banners -->
          <thumbWidthBig>400</thumbWidthBig>
          <thumbHeightBig>74</thumbHeightBig>
          <thumbPosXBig>7</thumbPosXBig>
          <thumbPosYBig>2</thumbPosYBig>
          <thumbZoom>no</thumbZoom>

You could try play around with these but it should be the same on all your pcs.

Can you try clearing the cache if you haven't already, ensure you also delete from the VirtualStore if your using Vista/Win7 (if UAC enabled).

There may be other settings such as mediaportal screen calibration or Tv settings that im no aware of which could cause a problem.

THank you so much Damien! You pointed out what I had completely forgotten about! It was the cache...
