good work on tvguide

I was just checking out new changes, and the weird thing is for example, i don't have any images in my simpsons folder, or season's subfolder's, but it's still showing the one in the example shot i made above. Don't even KNOW where it's getting that folder, although i did try to do a clean database function, but didn't change anything. The other's are also still showing some thumbnail instead of the banner, and no folder.jpg images are in any of the show folders. Not sure what else to true.
For the intro sound, let's see what kind of idea's for a new one (not in any hurry BTW to replace it, just on the 'TO DO' lists.), but for now, i am going to revamp it a little, and run some filter's on it, and add a little more of the projector sound length, with a slightly longer fade effect on it though to balance. Crisp up the high's while i'm add it.
I enjoy doing audio-video stuff. Art is a big part of my life since a kid.

Try deleting your Textures.db file from within userdata\database\ - that should reset the texture cache.
Looking forward to hearing what you come up with!

Oh no thank you fella - between what you've been doing recently and igotdvds original take on things there's been so many cool new ideas to work with.

How can I activate alternative home menu shown in the screenshots?
- Sharpe - 2011-02-28
It's under settings / skin options / home / use smaller home controls / use simplified controls
- bandelguy - 2011-02-28
Thanks for the help.

Go grab an nvidia ion mini system like an Acer revo - cheap and does the job.

I hate to ask for things all the time, I feel like a spolied child.
But is it possible to get some kind of visual representation during the Info view (while watching a show) of the duration of the episode and where you are in it? Like the top bar while in menu mode, but much smaller. I appreciate that this might take valuable screen real estate so it could be maybe a menu item to add. That way, I never have to enter the menu to see the length remaning.
Also, is there a way to donate to you guys directly? I know where to do it to XBMC, but I also want to show my appreciation to Sharpe and the rest of the developers of Back Row for their amazing skin and prompt response to feature requests.
As always, great work and keep it up.
- Sharpe - 2011-03-06
Thanks Praesten - are you using an up to date version of the skin? I only ask because the video OSD screens have both been altered recently. The info view now looks like this (the top bar always appears now) :
As for donating and so on - nah it's cool mate spend your cash on your nearest and dearest.
Cheers

*slaps self*
I was using a 2 week(ish) old version of the skin. That looks spot on, thanks a million.

Back from vacation. Gonna make the new cleaned up intro audio file next. I deleted the textures.db (everything close on my system found), but unfortunately my tv guide banner's are still showing cover thumbnails stretched.
Those are the show's list, and below is what shows in the actual tv guide- (one is streched cover image, rest are just blank.
Can you think of anything to try? I tried refreshing some of the show's in case, right after deleting the textures.db file.

Okay lets just check we have everything the same:
Each Tv Show in it's own folder
Seasons in separate folders within the root TV Show folder
A wide icon image called fanart.jpg within the root TV Show folder
Is all that in place?
- ppic - 2011-03-08
why don't you use banner.jpg to display this?
