You know that MediaPortal skinning engine is based on a port of some real old XBMC skinning engine? Unfortunately it would require a huge amount of work to port the current version (porting something from C++ to C# and at the same time from OpenGL to DirectX is a big task especially when the skin engine is a "bit" complex). It is not worth to spend time on such for MP1 as the MPII has already much more flexible skinning engine thanm XBMC.

Thanks guys,
Well I am doing a much simple version of xtv for MP1. I am posting below some screenshots. The thing is that I have tried most skins for MP1 and even though some are quite good I am well accustomed to xtv which I have used on my old XBox for years so I decided to port it.
I have noticed the similarities between the XBMC skins and MP1 ones. But unfortunately they still have to be ported. Anyway have a look and tell me your feedback. The skin is far from finished but you can already get a feeling.

This is looking pretty nice as well:
XBMC Skin Rapier 2.0
Especially the info bar at the bottom in the videos section looks very smart to me.

Sorry, I don't have the stamina to finish a whole skin. That's why I just hang around here trying to "improve" on others work.

@ Emph, I'm currently looking for a new direction to go in for my next MP skin... Perhaps a poll (incl. Aeon Stark) would be a good idea to "inspire the skinners here" , of course permission will be needed from the original XBMC authors

@CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...

Thanks guys. Ok, spent the (whole) weekend on this lol.
First; TVHeadend/Kodi.... Nah. Given up on that - 'non-tech'; its horrible. 'Tech' - a few reasons but mostly that it is buggy. It is actually a real shame as it does have potential and promises a lot (was great to have Kodi on my phone and be able to watch live/recordings...
