I assume your using Latest Media Handler Filmstrip View for this. But there are a lot of covers. At the moment there is some performance issue while loading these covers. If they are loaded once they kinda seem cached and load fine from now on scrolling through BasicHome. But If you enter a plugin (e.g. MovPic) and then go back to BasicHome view the performance issue is there again.

What do you think about this?

Sorry, I think it looks a bit "unnatural" because of the clean look of the boxes clashes a bit with the shadow of the cover line IMHO.

Hi,

If anyone wants to test the parts that is completed you can download it here.

Please be aware that;
1.Requires MP 1.3 Alpha
2. Only has some parts completed (read below)
3. It contains the remade Fanart Handler plugin that will require rescraping of all fanart. This version is NOT backward compatible with previous versions of FH.
4. It contains the remade LatestMediaHandler plugin.

So this is NOT something you would install on your production system but on your test system.

The following is now completed;
* Menu Editor
* Basichome
* Moving Picture
* Music
* Music Playlist
* Music Now Playing
* TVGuide

best regards

I want to try this, but I only have a production system ATM. About the remade Fanart Handler, what's going to happen to the fanart that's already scraped with the previous version of the plugin, will we have to clean it out ourselves or will the new plugin do anything on first run?

Cheers

hi,

This fanarthandler version will;
1. Create a ZIP file ("\Skin FanArt\Backup\oldfanart.zip") that contains all your scraped images ("\Skin FanArt\Scraper\music").
2. Delete all your scraped images ("\Skin FanArt\Scraper\music").
3. Rename your existing fanarthandler.db3 database to _old and then copy a new database.

best regards

This skin looks amazing! I tried the version posted just above, and I must says it looks and feels perfect!

However, I found 1 possible bug. When I go into the Music part, and then select 'display by Files' and using 'coverflow' the mediaportal just completely freezes.
This could however just be a bug in MP1.3 in general or even only be related to my own system.

So if other people could test this aswell...
It would be a shame if this was a bug in an otherwise flawless skin.

Keep up the good work cul8er!

you can check it ,very easy .... change your skin to DW skin and select coverflow view , if view fine ,then is this skin issue .... if not view correct, then is bug with your system , as MP1.3.0.A Don't have any freeze issue with music coverflow ....
