I taught it was an issue with this skin sorry for posting here in the first place. Cool is this a permanent or temp issue with movieposterdb cos I love this feature as it gives much more choice of posters.
We don't own that website here at XBMC, so we don't know if it is temp or not. Just keep trying in your browser
Looks to be up right now though.
Woah, Found this on the XBMCSM the other day whilst updating skins...
Gotta say, even on my Xbox with a cruddy 13" PAL 4:3 skin, THIS IS AWSOME!
Any work going on with themes for this skin?
i'm still using this skin and made some updates/mods on it.
(giving my best to translate...)
the "home" is reduced to 5 buttons.
the slider has been set down to get more fan-art to see.
the "select-rectangle" has been minimized.
backgrounds use the "background true"-control.
it is just an edited multiimage path and not the "real fanart".
see last lines of this post.
most sub-menu-buttons are removed.
the text has been light-grayed.
"video" now has a (not translated) button for "database update".
weather uses weather-fanart (again a manual edit in home.xml)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
music-database:
fanart in list-view "artist"
album-view uses a new viewtype.
horizontal, slow scroller with scraped infos. (see youtube video)
no fanart in background.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-db:
thy to transparency for the background 8)
added fanart and the main (for me: most usefull) infos directly under the name.
"pause" or "info" gives this to the screen:
the textboxes may be a little bit confusing.
upper right box: time playing, actual time (white text), length of movie.
box bottom right:
time-to-play, time, when the movie finishs.
tv-show section now has a slightly zoom-effect, fanart and the number of "unwatched episodes" at the bottom/right of the cover.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
weather & shutdown
weather with fanart
i've added a "quit xbmc - go to ubuntu desktop" instead of "shutwodn in 30 minutes".

the complete package:
http://www.speedshare.org/download.php?id=C85AEB1B11
USE THE SMALL DOWNLOAD BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM... and NOT the BigOne!!!
home.xml:
video row: 33
<imagepath background="true">/dos/background/Fanart movie/</imagepath>
music row: 45
<imagepath background="true">/dos/background/fanart musik/</imagepath>
weather row: 11
<imagepath background="true">/dos/background/weather/$INFO[Weather.FanartCode]</imagepath>
Looks cool.
That's an unfortunate translation of "Weather" isn't it :p
Cheers,
Jonathan
This was, and still is, a classy looking skin.
I wonder if Jezz_X has considered ever updating it?
WOW!! Where did you dig this skin up at?
Thanks for the nice updates donabi
Loving this skin, hopefully it will get updated more at some point

heh not really it didn't get a lot of positive feedback when I first made it so it kind of slipped away But I might add it to the updateing the classics bit since it still is very modern looking but I think the first thing I will do is change the icons to somthing more dark.
Well I went and did some nice quick and easy changes anyway in the SVN
