A huge THANK YOU! This skin is exactly what I've been looking for. Not only is it fast and great looking, but the ability to easily fully customize the Home screen allows me to finally make XBMC user friendly for the whole family.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was hopping to achieve with Quartz.

I'm not sure if this is something I did, but the HD tag and the audio tag arn't showing up anymore. Also, would it be posable to use genre posters for movies/shows and music?

Have you turned off extraction of media info from files?

Do you have a link to some genre posters that could fit in nicely?

No, I believe I have it on it supposed to be off?

I have used the ones from here for music. And for movies/tv shows. and here

You need to turn on the one above it:

Extract thumbs and video info so xbmc can get video and audio info and show appropriate flags. (warrning - last time I checked this was NOT recommended for ATV2 platform)

I'll take a look at links you sent, thanks.

I'm I right in assumption that this extended mpaa info
- rated pg-13 because of blah blah
Instead of
- rated pg-13
Is some reacent change? I have never seen such an extended info previously.

I use EMM-R to scrape most of my movies, and it includes the additional info in the <mpaa> tag of the nfo.

Did some more checking, and it appears that they are universally of the for "Rated PG-13 for..." Not all the skins I have used include all the information, so I'm assuming is possible to parse the <mpaa> tag and drop everything starting with the word "for..."

You are right it is possible. Nowever, IMO, it will unnecessarily slow skin down and it definately is like buying chocolate pancakes in order to do 'manual' strawberry jam replacement by yourself.

Unfortunatelly it appears to be the only poswible solution ATM.

Guys, I'm back from vacation.

Please, post any other shortcomming/missing stuff so I can have a peek at it before I submit skin to the official repo.

Pecinko, I just wanted to say thank you. This is the perfect skin to go with my Apple TV 2.

Only thing I can think of right now is the current local weather displayed beside the time. This is a very very small thing, but would be nice to have.

Keep up the great work.

Welcome back. Here's hoping your vacation was pleasant and relaxing. Thank you for the great work on this skin.

I'm using this skin on my ATV2 and I'm trying to reduce the idle CPU %. So far I've found that if you modify Home.xml and add

[HTML]
<visible>system.getbool(lookandfeel.enablerssfeeds)</visible>
[/HTML]

to the rss control at the bottom, it will significantly reduce the idle CPU (assuming, of course, that you've disabled the RSS feed). I have no idea why a empty rss control spikes the CPU, but it does. Perhaps it's constantly repainting or something.

Also, editing Includes.xml and removing the animation from the clock will drop CPU significantly.

With these changes plus dirty regions enabled, my ATV2 is idling at 0% with a jump up to 7-15% every few seconds.

Pecinko
I'm making some custom folder icons and noticed that in videos - movies that the title is referencing the DefaultFolder.png file instead of the DefaultMoviesTitle.png file. I''m not a programmer so I don't know where to start looking.
