thanks for the quick reply skunkmonkee
yeah i agree with you on the scrolling, but it kinda drags attracts my attention a little because it doesnt fit! anyways i cant wait till the next release with those minor bugs fixed, but i guess i might be waiting a little longer for a xbmc update to fix the font issues.

Not sure this would technically be classified as a bug, but when using custom background folders on the home screen, I noticed that whenever you move focus away from a menu item (ie, tv shows, settings, music, etc) and then move it back, no matter how long you had focus on something else (as long as its more than just a second or two), when you return to that menu item, it will show the backdrop that was displayed when it had focus earlier for a split second before quickly fading to a new one. I don't think this is preferred behavior, especially if you let your menu sit at all, then next time you try to navigate through it all you see is a bunch of constantly fading images. For a possible source of some code you could steal to make it refresh the multiimage each time you move away, you might try looking at Horizonz code as I know it doesn't have this problem. It's a different image each time an item regains focus. Let me know if I need to explain this better..

First off, been using this skin with a lot of satisfaction these couple of months, one of the most enjoyable eye candy for XBMC and smart navigation having separate video, movies en tv sections.
With the latest release I cant seem to play any video's any more, but dont have any problems with the PM3.HD skin
I'm using
XBMC-8.10-FINAL-T3CH-PROPER
MediaStream v0.97
Xbox 1
Im running my video content from 3 sources: 1.xbox, 2.server, 3.NAS (smb)
Server is always on, my NAS isnt always turned on
The problems started a few versions ago (could be xbmc too) when xbmc would suddenly ask me for my NAS user/password. My NAS has a shared samba folder but without any user/pass, so I can just select OK in the pop-up and all is ok.
2 or 3 mediastream versions back I suddenly couldn't play any content from TV and Movie sections (NAS as a source), I first had to go to Video, get the user/pass pop-up and then the TV and Movies content would play without any problems, playing from the Video section was never a problem, neither was playing from my server.
With the latest version I cant seem to play anything anymore, even after getting the user/pass pop-up, it doesn't even play in the Video section, which would always work before, no matter what source the content is on.
I thought it could be xbmc, but all things are playable with PM3.HD skin, so it has to be mediastream? Weird though, I thought my problems would me xbmc core related, skin is just a visible thing... but I guess im wrong.
Do you have any clue what it can be?

You are out of memory, as a debug log would have confirmed. Lower your caches (settings->video->player->cache), use a lower resolution, or use a skin with less texture usage (switching to the lite theme may do the trick).

Concerning what I said earlier about the multiimages only changing after you change focus to them, to fix that (if this is something you guys want to change...i dunno, maybe this is an intention thing to make loads seem smoother on the xbox or something), just copy and paste the conditional visibility tag into the control for the multiimage rather than just having conditional visibility for the whole group. So, it will look something like this, where the added part is the "<include>HomeProgramsBGVisible</include>" line. This section is found in the includes.xml, this particular example under the include name "CustomProgramsBackground"
<control type="multiimage">
<info>Skin.String(CustomProgramsBGFolder)</info>
<include>CustomBGMultiImage</include>
<include>HomeProgramsBGVisible</include>
</control>
