MiniMeedia v0.86 Released (01/06/2009) - skunkm0nkee - 2009-06-01 Thanks again to everyone for all the feedback over the last few days and all the help in tracking down bugs and issues. I've managed to deal with most of them (I think) and have also made a few improvements and tweaks which will hopefully add to the skin. The main changes are as follows:
New Minimal Video OSD for TV Episode: Use Recent Version of XBMC In order to get the best out of this release you need to be using a version of XBMC built in the in the last week or so (since the changes to XBMC to allow background loading of multiimages). A new version of t3ch was released for xbox on 21st May, any earlier t3ch builds will not work with the skin. If you do decide to use it without an up to date version of XBMC then you'll probably find that none of the backgrounds appear. You have been warned. If you really have to run an old version (or you run PLEX which doesn't support the newer features that XBMC does) then have a look at this thread - Temporary Fixes for Older XBMC Builds Genre Poster Packs In this version I've added support for Genre Poster Packs (such as the one in this thread - Movie Genre Posters). To take advantage of this feature please see this thread - MiniMeedia and Genre Poster Packs Feedback If you do find any problems or have any suggestions on improvements to the skin please describe them as fully as possible and give screenshots where possible. Have fun and enjoy! ------------------- Skin download link - MiniMeedia v0.86 Background Images The skin itself does not contain any real background images since most users will already have a set of background images that they like (for MediaStream and Aeon skins etc) and I assume most users will be using fanart for the Movies and TV Shows anyway. I have a nice set of custom background images that I use and aim to provide download links so that users can use these if they want. Background download links - Movies - Movies Backgrounds 1 Movies Backgrounds 2 TV Shows - TV Show Backgrounds Videos - Videos Backgrounds Music - Music Backgrounds Pictures - Pictures Backgrounds System - System Backgrounds Power - Power Backgrounds DVD - DVD Backgrounds The skin is setup to work with Weather Fanart (the weather background should match the current weather conditions) and to get this working properly I recommend downloading timdog's Weather Fanart pack - Waffa - 2009-06-01 Thanks, Moviegenres works great !!! - skunkm0nkee - 2009-06-01 Excellent, glad you like it - Radikaltimes - 2009-06-01 Great work .. once again thank you - feerlessleadr - 2009-06-01 something I noticed last night on .81 (am still at work so I can't check the new version) but when I went to browse movies by year, a blank screen showed up, whereas I was able to browse by year using MediaStream. Also, is there a way to update the skin, without losing my skin settings, such as where the background images are coming from? Are those settings stored in the skin, or are they stored in the general XBMC settings? Thanks so much - skunkm0nkee - 2009-06-01 feerlessleadr Wrote:something I noticed last night on .81 (am still at work so I can't check the new version) but when I went to browse movies by year, a blank screen showed up, whereas I was able to browse by year using MediaStream.I haven't tested it but I did do some changes to the backgrounds code for videos so hopefully it works better now. feerlessleadr Wrote:Also, is there a way to update the skin, without losing my skin settings, such as where the background images are coming from? Are those settings stored in the skin, or are they stored in the general XBMC settings?All those settings are stored in your userdata folder so deleting the skin/MiniMeedia folder and replacing it with the new one won't affect those at all. TBH you can just copy the new one over the top of the old one anyway. - feerlessleadr - 2009-06-01 skunkm0nkee Wrote:I haven't tested it but I did do some changes to the backgrounds code for videos so hopefully it works better now. beautiful...thanks so much for your help - Waffa - 2009-06-01 Some pictures for in the gallery.(Genre thumbs) - xbs08 - 2009-06-01 Great release, thank you! - ezechiel1917 - 2009-06-02 Thanks for this lovely skin, have been always fan of MediaStream, and minimalistic version of it is just perfect. Anyway, how can I add custom studio logos? I'm particulary looking for The CW, The WB studios for TV-Shows, can they be included in some future build? Thanks very much. - skunkm0nkee - 2009-06-02 ezechiel1917 Wrote:Thanks for this lovely skin, have been always fan of MediaStream, and minimalistic version of it is just perfect.I've got a few more studio and network logos to add for the next release so hopefully those are included. Do you have links to images of those logos? If so then they'll almost certainly be included in the next release - ezechiel1917 - 2009-06-02 Unfortunately I don't know studio/network logo picture resolution/size rules neither do i know how to extract .xpr file. original logos: The CW logo here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_CW.svg The WB: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikinews/en/2/2e/TheWB...logo.gif A few things... - xbs08 - 2009-06-02 After playing around with this release i found a few things (mostly profile related): Pressing right to access the profiles menu doesn't work you have to press enter. Activate "Login screen" does seem to work (had to go to PM3.HD to activate this). The shutdown timer moves to the log off icon when there's more than one profile. Some characters dont show when highlighted, works fine on the PC but not on the XBox. (all other previous releases have this bug) Other minor stuff: In system info fan speed has an extra ":" and there are some other labels missing the ":" I also suggest that the "restart" in power menu should be changed to "restart xbmc" like in the shutdown menu. Thanks again skunkm0nkee for this amazing skin - skunkm0nkee - 2009-06-02 ezechiel1917 Wrote:Unfortunately I don't know studio/network logo picture resolution/size rules neither do i know how to extract .xpr file.Done, those have been added for the next release.
