This would be amazing. Do you take donations.

Just wanted to add as well.. awesome skin! Been using it for a few days and love it.

One request - Would it be possible to add "Airdate" to Landscape view for Episodes? Appreciate it might be a squeeze, but for people choosing Lanscape, they don't see the airdate which I personally find very useful (and I assume others do as well).

Alternatively, maybe there's more space for the airdate on the Info screen of the episode (I personally have it set to always show info before playing anyway).

I can have a look at making the mod myself, but thought I would see if this is something that might be of interest to others as well and go into the main skin.

Cheers

I can add that, but I need to check if it fits the aesthetics of the skin and layout, I'm... picky. If it does then I'll include it with the next update. It would be useful if you could create a quick mockup (screenshot + line of text) to show where you think it would be suitable.

- PVR backgrounds

- Replace subtitle provider with filename in subtitle selection screen
- Music - a lot of fixes for the whole music section
- New textures for the music area (previously missing)

@bilalsbz - That's not going to change, sorry. Although, I can point you in the right direction if you would like to change it.

Thank you

I've not thought about donations - money is always useful but I'm not sure.

As for adding custom parts, it's doable but only once the final RC is out - that depends on testing and error reports.

I downloaded version 3.2.1 and tried to install via zip in the 12/7 android nightly, but I'm getting an error that the .zip is not the correct folder structure. Is it just me, or does something have to be done differently for android?

Sure thing. Probably the simplest solution that doesn't change the layout is to change the Year field so that it shows Airdate for Episodes and Year for all other types. I'm only beginning to learn skinning, so not sure if that type of conditional formatting is possible. If that doesn't work I have some other ideas, but will need some minor rejigging.

If you think there are now too many "/" in the Landscape view now, maybe we can use the dots from the Info view as separators instead. I think it's fine, but the dots may look better.

If anyone is interested, I've made the mod to show airdate on both Landscape view and the info screen for episodes. The code to show airdate on the info screen was actually already there, it was just checking for TVShow instead of Episode which is why it never appeared (I suspect a legacy thing from Frodo).

Piers, feels free to integrate into the main skin if you like.

Already on it Expect an update shortly.

(at the moment updates are slow for 2 reasons, 1. there's not a large amount to change 2. I'm working on getting it official repository ready so updates are easier.
