    Hi. First let me say that I'm not entirely sure I've started this thread in the right place. I'm not sure weather it should be here or in the StreamedMP section, as that's the skin I'm using. Someone please move it if it's in the wrong place.

    Anyway, I've basically been noticing some wierd overlapping text effects in Moving Pictures, and I was wondering if there was a fix for it, or if it's just something I've configured incorrectly?

    Here's a screenshot of what I mean. I've circled the text in red:

    Any thoughts? :D

    Yeah this is a StreamedMP issue, so I am going to move it to their forum. What resolution are you running at though? I get similar behavior when running on my laptop at a lower resolution.

    I am guessing this is due to MediaPortal not scaling things properly (meaning a skin will only display pixel perfect for the resolution it was designed for, in this case 1280x720). We should probably wait to get input from one of the StreamedMP skinners though.

    Try this, I was playing over the weekend and changed the text spacing in the movingpictures.details.xml, just unzip to MediaPortal\Skins\StreamedMP folder.

    I've been using 1920*1200 screen resolution and seems to have fixed it, let me know if needs tweaking.

    I'm running at 1768 x 992.

    EDIT: jsimo01 - thanks, just saw your post, will try that and let you know soon.

    EDIT: Well, that's much better, thanks! It still needs a tiny tweak though if possible. The "runtime" text still overlaps:

    Moved text back a little bit, It shows evenly spaced on mine, but I would guess it depends on what your screen resolution is
