On subsequent navigations to that particular title it didn't seem as bad but then other times it seems to pause slightly again.

i'm seeing the same. i really don't know if it get cached though.

I've notice for me is sometimes my drives have to wake up, it'll pause at first pass through then after that it's nice smooth transitions...Just one of those things that you gotta put up with skin hacks, for me it's worth it.

Agreed on being worth it, then don't have to chose between some of the great fanart out there. Another thing to mention, when it comes to Night and T! the implementation seems to be different. Well at least the last time I tried Night a couple weeks ago.

With Night, when you select a movie the fanart that is displayed is always fanart1, and then cycles between them, 1.. 2.. 3.. etc. If you move off a movie and then back to it, that starts over.

With T!, it seems that the fanart rotation process happens even when the movie isnt displayed. So when you go to a movie it appears the fanart shown is random and sometimes I've brought up a movie right when the transition happens to the next fanart. I like that behavior because it makes it more random when scrolling through movies. But question is, does that require more processing?

nope, i just display the extra fanart in random order.
nothing is being processed in the background when the movie isn't focussed.

ronie Wrote:some extra info on two new features:

Icon View with disc image:

you need to put a disc.png image in each movie folder for this to work.

TV Show with logo support Info:

you can manually add a logo.png image inside every tv show folder,
or use the logo downloader script installed with this skin.
you can download the logo using the 'Get logo' button on the tv show info screen.

Is there a place to get the disc.png for each movie? Ive used cdcoverss.cc but it takes really long to navigate because of the huge list they have. Thanks

nope, i hope someone takes the initiative to create a site where xbmc users
can upload them. similar to how it's done with cdart.

This might be better handled by the media manipulation programs (like Ember or MC) with an option to cookie cut one from the fanart. Mostly the disk images are the close to the fan art.

One minor thing, I think the on-screen keyboard could use a little more contrast between the letters and the buttons. The letters can be a bit hard to see.

ok, made them a bit darker.
