3dpo Wrote:Marcosqui - thank you for this awesome skin, it was the main reason I decided to try xbmc again after a many year adventure with mediacenter.

A huge added bonus for me coming back to xbmc is that I have set up a custom resolution for my 2.35:1 scope screen. This allow me to play 16:9 content on the full scope screen. Using the vertical position in playback, most shows you couldn't tell they were supposed to be shot in 16:9. Just incredible!!!

Now for my question - The video aspect ratios are correct while playing a video, but xbmc and Aeon Mq3 are stretching all my covers. Is there a way to have it maintain or scale the aspect ratio of the covers? I believe everything else is stretched also but it doesn't bother me, just the square looking covers do. Screenshots below. I am using showcase view. Pre-Eden, Aeon 1.1.1 Thanks again.

PS, I also have the same backdrop problem as the posts above.

2.35:1 aspect (covers are stretched)

Anybody have any ideas whatsoever?!!

short of creating a whole new skin designed for this aspect ratio there is not much you can do, except...

if you would prefer black bars at the sides instead of stretching you can adjust the screen calibration settings


Settings >> System >> Video Output >> Video Calibration.

and then pull in the corners
I'm pretty sure this will not affect your video playback. but it may cause the skin to do some other weird things.

most likely your best bet will be to live with stretched covers, or to look around for a skin made specifically for your wide aspect ratio.

Or you can have xbmc on another 16:9 or 4:3 touch screen or just normal and have your projector as just your content viewing screen, I.E set up two screens.

Hello,

I am unable to change the thumbs for the TV Shows area.
The option is just not there anymore.

Am I the only one or is this a skin bug?

Any help would be nice...thnx!


Edit:

Solved - it was TvTunes Pre 2.0.0....just moved slider from -10% to 0% on lower sound value...it's strange how volume of tvtunes library can affect global volume.


An Idea! - Palalisimo - 2011-12-10

Hello everyone!

I know Marqos is kind of vacation, but here is an idea that some of you may be interested in or have some clue en how to achieve.

I have "movies" in multiplex view, but "kids movies" (custom home menu item via video playlist) is much easier to browse with other views. But if I select any viewtype in Movies it replicates to all movie video playlists links I have in the home menu.

Consideting I have kiosk mode activated, everytime my kids want to watch a movie I have to change lots of setting on and off. Is there any way for each item to keep a different viewtype?

Anyone have an idea on how to "fix" this, and also could it be ported to MQ2 I have that one installed on other PC untill new version of XBMC is officially available.

Thanks!

If you find a bug please file it accordingly as noted on the first page of this thread Smile


- TijlK - 2011-12-10

I tried using the search function, but couldn't really find anything.

My question: can I move around the buttons in the main menu? E.g. Movies is currently to the left of TV Shows. Can I swap them somehow? This may look useless until you realize that you can have several buttons of favourites, playlists and stuff like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the great skin! It's gorgeous! Smile
