Xface Skin Version 1.6 ready for download 09.06.2008 (2 Viewers)

[scythelt]

Sorry to say I can't find an SVN release that is stable enough to even use this skin - I've tried 5-6, I've lost count. I thought with an RC2 release out and I assume another RC on the way, that the SVNs would be relatively stable by now...

Does anybody have any recommendations for a stable svn (MP + TVE3)?

Thanks Harley

Can i assume that the Xface.472.zip that i have downloaded from the MP plugin page is the version 1.1v2?

Yes, as the one I downloaded yesterday was 471, and download page is now updated to say 1.1v2

Can I second this request please? Tried most of this weeks SVN and they all crashed when I tried starting the MyFilms plugin on any Skin. Therefore I have had to go back to the RC2 version.

harley i did some more testing i set my desktop res to a 16x9 res at 1600x900 and tried it again in filmstrip view and it does the same thing with coverart, if i swap back to blue2 and keep the same res it uses the higher quality jpeg for the coverart with blue2, i will test with some other skins to see what they do to.
hope that helps

Ater some tests here are the results
In Xface under the shares view i see clear coverart pictures under filmstripview, however changing to the database view / title i see blurry coverart under the filmstripview despite having using the same coverart picture.

Is it possible its hard coded somewhere in the core of this module?
Although this scenario seems to be reversed with blue2 , so something strange is going on

mmh, thats realy curious, don´t know what it can be.

can you make a screenshot of B2 where it is working ok ?

@yatesd

You need balls of steel to run with the latest SVN.
Stability is NOT an option

This is the response I got when I asked this same question several pages back-helpful isn't it.

Harley, how can I disable the topbar + the 3 big icons in the lower right corner in my tvseries.xml? Can't access them inside the plugin so I don't really see the need for 'em. Thanks!

Hi spuck,

..thats easy add this on top of xml, under the <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>


<disabletopbar>yes</disabletopbar>

Greetings Harley

Yeah, that works until you bring up the menu. Then you got the top bar until you go out of the plugin and in again.

You can remove the topbar by disabling it in MediaPortal Configuration/Plugins

That was the culprit I wasnt running at a good resolution.. Thanks Harvey...Also you think it would be possible to take the frames off the back button? as shown in my post above? Aside from that this Skin rocks!

..have you do it in this way ? :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
<id>9811</id>
<defaultcontrol>50</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
<disabletopbar>yes</disabletopbar>
<!-- <define>#header.hover:hover_my tv series.png</define> -->
<define>#header.location:134</define>
