They stopped releasing the official nightly builds a while back when all the work started on the latest version of xbmc. The build you are using has a bug in it that doesn't use the default widescreen folder specified in the skin.XML. It's pulling it's video views from the pal folder instead of the pal16x9 folder. As a fix try copying over the contents of the 16x9 folder into the pal folder.

Sorry if i have missed an option somewhere...but is there currently any way to manually scroll through the (often very long) music artist /album description on the info page? (I know it does it automatically eventually but this is at a much slower pace than reading pace.)
Thanks!

Hi kiboy6 - I didn't add scrollers or page up/down buttons to the info dialogs because I was originally trying to go for a less is more kind of thing using auto scrolling - but yeah I take your point about the delay in scrolling and sped it up a notch.

Thanks for the update - although it's now probably a bit too fast for my reading pace.
I understand the "less is more" thing though - do you reckon it would work if there were an option to disable scrolling and use "page up / down" buttons on keyboard or remote to read more info?

I've gone ahead and put in page up / page down controls - still tried to keep them unobtrusive though.

Hmmm not come across this one before - looks really nice, if I'm reading the thread right its still reasonably xbox friendly or have you moved on from tidy code to horsepower hungry?

Hi Geeba
Hmmn I've gotta say I have taken the shackles off somewhat recently but with the right sized fanart and covers it should work fairly well on the xbox. :\

Love it! thanks as ever Sharpe!....
One other quick Q- not sure if this is a skin thing or general XBMC thing....
I have tried to set "recently added" as my default view for movies (via "set as default in the context menu on the "Recently added" entry at the root of "Movies")
However this does not work....any ideas?
Cheers!

It's Xbox is it? And what exactly happens? Is that the volume doesn't show on the screen?

The main Movies control is hard coded to go direct to titles - I suspect that's why it won't do what you want. You would need to edit the home.xml to change that I'm afraid.
