Feature request

Would it be possible to put the movie plot on the same screen when in the filmstrip view. Instead of having to choose IMDB from the menu.

    Here is a little modified tvseries.xml that will display fanart correctly (I think)

    The preview window will only be visible on the main menu of tvseries.
    When in list view, the preview window is invisible.

    I have no idea where the custom logos will appear, as I dont use this feature myself.
    And I think only dark fanarts will display correctly.

    (the original code of this .xml is made by Psycho Reptile for the Replicant/Revision skins, and after my edit its pretty messy.. ) :p
    But It should get fanart and basic tvseries functions work, untill we get a better version.

    Great skin the best i have seen so far on both MP and meedios (which i have been using for the last few years)
    so new to MP and xml. Were in your tvseries.xml can i change the size of the Banners i would like to make them just a bit bigger in length.also i managed to remove the white bar at the bottom by changing the background how would i go about removing the contol bar at the top of the screen (wmp looking thing) i dont see why it is there as you cant get to it with mce remote inside tvseries. Thanks

    It would also be REALLY great if the function for the watched-status that the TV-Series Plugin has (it removes the serie from the list when using list-mode 'unwatched') would work the same way on movies.

    Any change that can be done?

    ** EDIT **

    If that can't be done for some reason, would it be possible to tag the directory (when you use the movie setting: Every movie has it's own directory) as seen? Now the file in the folder becomes blue when it's tagged 'seen' but when you have all movies in seperate directories, then you can't see if you watched the movie already in the list (unless you use 'Title' to sort the movies, but then they're all together and i like to have different folders for Disney DVD's, xvid, HDDVD, etc)

    Alright I have been following this thread for a long time and still have not found an answer to my little problem. I have asked this before but really didnt receive an answer. Under MyVideos for some reason when it downloads the cover art it seems to be blurry (and yes I have turned the thumbnail image in the control panel all the way up) Because when I click on the box art and it brings me inside the folder, that box looks perfectly fine. Its just the boxes on the main level that look low res. Has anyone else been having this problem.

    I am currently running 1.4 but that hasnt seemed to address the issue. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the best skin out there.

    Go check your folders and look for a hidden file named 'folder.jpg'

    Remove that file, and rescan your movies, then it should all be fine.

    I did as you said and deleted the hidden folder.jpg file and repulled the image in from the IMDB database. I am still having the same issue. Very blurry but once I click on the folder the dvd cover image inside is perfect. Cystal Clear and filling the whole box. I also tried deleting the xface cache folder but still no dice. please help!!

    EDIT: It also is doing the same in the bluetoo wide skin
