Hi there, first of all must say the skin is excellent. I have a problem which is that mediaportal seems to stop responding after a short time period once i switch to this skin? Is this known to anyone?

lmdomah: Have you tried to select this skin in the Configuration app instead of inside of MediaPortal?

Emph

emphatic: Yes i have (if its Mediaportal configuration u are referring to), i have tried downloading other skins aswell which do not crash, so thats why i was abit puzzled about what to do?

Attach your Mediaportal.log after this has happened.

Are you using a mobo with onboard ati graphics? Specifically a 690 board? If so it's a known problem and can be fixed by going back to 7.2 catalyst drivers.

Thanks

Hi all,

Just recently built an HTPC and discovered MediaPortal to be the best to run on it (ASUS P5E-VM HDMI with Q6600, running Vista x64 connected to my Onkyo 875+Samsung F71 1080p). Now I'm playing the "skins" game and think Xface is the best of all the ones I've tried.

However I have two minor issues with it:

1. There's no on-screen player controls whilst watching video and as I'd like to make use of my new Logitech MX-Air mouse, having this would be very conventient. Is there a way to add it?

2. The three common icons/buttons at the bottom right (not sure what to call them), that are a TV, Camera and Headphones. How are they configured? As I don't have "My TV" enabled, the the TV one does very little. Is it possible to change what function it performs i.e. in my case go to "My Videos"?

Cheers,
Taomyn

For question 2, isn't that just some kind of eye candy? I.E. they do nothing?

I was about to give up using MediaPortal until I read this. I was using the Catalyst that came with the Asus M2A-VM HDMI. When I looked at the version, I thought it was 7.2 and I was having several problems.

I went to the archives and downloaded the 7.2 found there and it works very well now.

Thanks for the tip!

No, they actually take you to the relevant areas if you click on them with a mouse i.e. clicking on the camera takes you to "My Photos".
