I'm not quiet sure if this is a bug or working as designed. When in music album view and playing a song three informations are overlapping each other: Clock, currently playing song and the top most list line.

I'm on 17.1. TV ist 1920x1080.

Please see this screenshot:

Hmm, no answer means 'working as designed'?

In that case I would like to change the standard skin Estuary here on my system. Three overlapping outputs on a standard 1920x1080 display is garbage. It's not only the music album list, it's the music artist list as well.

Can please somebody give me some hints where to change E.g. the amount of displayable list lines in both views, etc.

Any help is highly appreciated.

The same thing happens in other views, too. It is a flaw in the way Estuary is "designed for all resolutions".

My personal solution to this problem in the views I care about is to modify the skin files, as I doubt it is viewed as a "bug", just a side effect of how the skin was designed.

If it bothers you that much, I suggest you do the same, or find a different skin.

Thanks. When scrolling of lists (artists, albums, ...), starting with the second page, there's always a line to much at the top. This line overlaps the clock and the now playing information. In fact the clock and the now playing information share the same space as well.

I'm back to Confluence now.

Can you post a proper screenshot?

The setting in the skin to change is:

Code:
<control type="fixedlist" ...>

- <top>list_y_offset</top>

+ <top>100</top>

(At least, that's generally what the control settings in the "MyPVR..." windows are that I modified. To also stop the "Options" text at the bottom of screen from overlapping the list, I added a <height> element to the <control> to limit it.)

What do you mean with 'proper'? In the first post you'll find a link to a screenshot. The overlapping texts are marked with a red box.

That's a link to download a file from an unsecure site not a screenshot.

@hawikoeln use a free service like http://imgur.com/ so that the image can be seen in the post, and does not put others at risk of getting nasties with the screenshot should they look at it

I think this is related and might show what is being talked about although the PR'd fix is only for PVR https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/11916

That is indeed the same situation. Of course, it is much more widespread than just MyPVRChannels. I also modify MyPVRRecordings and Timers, and it also happens in many other Views as well.
