Hi!

1]
I am using RC3 and the latest xface release.
I set recordings using TvGuide. Switch back to full screen live tv. When switching channels and encountering a channel recording something at that time, there is a red dot and the word "rec" next to it, which is what you expect. The problem is the red dot and the text do not appear in the OSD, next to the channel name and show name (like other skins), but... much higher on the screen, near the center of the screen! Is this the intended behaviour? Can this please be investigated and let me know if a fix is required? I deleted the cache folder several times, same behaviour. the "Blue" range of skins are ok (from this point of view).

2]
There is a plugin named "sleeptimer", allowing me to shut the system down after 60 or 120 min from the moment the plugin is activated. It works fine even if the interface is all wrong (try it and will see). The plugin is supported by the "Blue" skins only, I tried "xface" and "aeon wide" and none of them support this plugin.
Can anyone please include support for the sleeptimer plugin in xface?

3]
I have the logos for the tv stations as 98x77 and the "blue" skins display them quite big (the way I want it). xface displays them much, much smaller. Why is that? Xface appears to display the tv logos smaller than their real size.

Personally I love the spinning basic home screen, and with a few simple changes you can amend the 3 sub buttons at the bottom to point to where ever you want. Personally I have Moving Pictures and the new My Trailers running from the sub buttons under the My videos section.

Please don't change this, although I suppose an alternative could be of use to people who do not share the same view.
DigitalFM,

Can you explain to me how to "and with a few simple changes you can amend the 3 sub buttons at the bottom to point to where ever you want." do this? THis would be cool as I don't use the MyTv funcion. If I could changet he button names and what they point to, that would be awesome! If not, can you tell me where I can find the info? Thanks!

    Put the image/picture in de directory where you want it to show up and name it: folder.jpg
    That should show it in your listing.

    Yes i delete the content of the cache folder when i tried out aeon wide, what can i do now to replace it ?

    I saw now that the cache folder content was rebuild, i have really no idea what im doing wrong, i renamed the jpeg to folder.jpg and put it into my bluray folder...is there perhaps a setting that must be checked in the Mp config ?

    Hi, I Have just upgraded to RC3, XFACE is the only skin I like but I am having a little issue with it (not stopping it from being used but would be nice if I could get it sorted)
    In the Home screen (full home, I dont use basic), in the list of categories (My TV, My Videos etc) all the images next to the text ( except Settings and My Plugins) come up as the default image for a plugin instead of the image expected. The image to the right of the list has the correct image for each category, but the image in the list its self seems to be using an image which would be the default for a plugin (if that makes sense).

    any suggestions would be appreciated.

    thanks
    Paul
