Post bugreports and Suggestions here. (thread recreated, accidentially deleted)

i get this error... when in the library for tv shows, if i select refresh, whether i choose yes or no, it refreshes.

In the Apple Movie Trailers Plugin, I can't see the movie posters. they are just not there. I'm using the skin on Plex. I dunno, that might make a difference.

Just a suggestion, but could anyone make some backgrounds that fit the home layout more? Center themes BG's dont look as good as expected when applied.

Coverflow for Music and Films please :-)

This skin is great as are lots of others but I always go back to Xtv after a short time as I think coverflow is the perfect interface for browsing and playing music.

Great skin though, well done.

Cheers

Hey UA...this was always going to be a concern for us, and one that we knew would bite us in the ass.

Essentially, in order to achieve this we would need to create an entire aeon-esque library with wallpapers that fit our navigation. To me this seems a little counter productive, and I dont want to be forking out money as DJH does for the images...there's also a sense of not reinventing the wheel.

One thing we are contemplating is a toggeable option to have the blade sitting more to the left, so that the centre-point of the bgs are not covererd up. This is being looked at as a new option.

Sweet! Thanks!

Oh and does anyone else notice while using the skin xbox side that poster views (Showcase?) is a little "skippy" when going from movie poster to movie poster? I assume it's probably smoothe as hell on linux, but on the xbox not so much ..

Out of all the ones I have I've only found a few that look OK (Miami Vice & Bones) but that's fine by me. Same on Win32.

Just installed this and caught a bug - but first, may I please compliment the entire team on this amazing piece of work. I'm blown away with how polished this is, my hat is off to all of you.

Bug: Video Calibration causes odd Font issue

To Reproduce:
- Settings / Video / Player
- Video Calibration
- Exit Video Calibration

Taking the steps above causes the font to increase in size dramatically and ruins the lovely appearance of MediaStream.

I also crashed it when I enabled a Custom Background "Folder" and it appeared to be trying to rotate the background image each time I changed screens. After about 5 screens it froze the Xbox and I had to reboot. Let me know if you'd like me to pull logs.

Once again - my thanks to the team, this is my new standard skin, it truly makes XBMC look slick.

Could you up a screenshot of the bizarre fonts as I tried this on the SDL build and couldn't reproduce it.

Will look into this

My bad guys - don't know what the deal was here. I reproduced it 3 times in a row, but now (I've since rebooted) it isn't occuring. Must have been a gremlin, or perhaps a very specific set of steps I took. I'll let you know if it occurs again.

Thanks.

K - mine crashed again, here's what came up in the log:

I'm running in 1080i, so perhaps I should scale back to something less memory intensive?

Looks like you have a hella mess there. Try a lower resolution then if that doesn't work try to reinstall the skin and clear the cache folder.

Are you sure that's our skin? Why is it loading the language stuff from MC360?

First off, great skin. Been running it a few hours and it certainly lived up to the pre-hype. I just have a few suggestions.

First of all it's terrible hard to select a subtitle from the audio settings menu. The slideout settings panel is blocking the view. Perhaps moving the file selection dialog to the left and making it a bit smaller or auto hide the audio settings panel when browsing for subtitles (if this is technical possible atm)



Adding a IMDB Top250 # besides the rating column in the video library when displaying a movies information as seen on other skins.

I would also like to second the suggestion of a coverflow view to the library.

When you are presented with the Numeric pad (etc when selecting a password protected profile) it would be nice if it defaults to focus on the enter/ok button instead of the '5' key. Aeon is par example doing this and iv'e tried to compare the DialogNumeric.xml from Aeon with yours but I can't seem to figure out what controls the default focus.

Just a few suggestions which I think would make this already great skin even better.

Best Regards

Just installed MediaStream on an XBox, using a Tech release XBMC from June (I think).

Little things I noticed:

1. When I first selected "Videos" the view option was "Showcase" (with the horizontal icons). Bring up the context menu, and the view options are "Showcase | List | Info List". Select list, then bring up the context menu again. This time the view options are only "List | List Info". I cannot get showcase view back.

2. In the "Image Stream" view mode of "Pictures": there is a horizontal array of folders along the bottom of screen. When I hold down the right/left scroll button, the horizontal array moves up and down the screen. Weird.

3. "Image Stream" in Pictures is kinda counter-intuitive. The background changes to the current picture in the horizontal scroller, then the scroller fades and the background image remains. But this image is very low quality. The first thing my wife said was "why does the picture look so fuzzy?". It's not obvious that you need to click "OK" to actually get the actual hi-quality image. I understand why a low-quality background image is used (for fast loading and scrolling), but once the icon disappears perhaps the hi-quality image should load?
