1. I do not know because Confluence does not give so many updates and i can not test it.
2. Unfortunately i do not know how to create and send you a screen shot.
But if you open the Videos and then in the Poster view you will see all your collection and in the right-low position you can see your movie's case with the sign DVD on. If you select the next movie then you will see the new DVD case.But if you have more than ten movies the last ones cover the DVD case for about the 8/10 of its size.
I think that you understand what i mean now.
Thanks for your attention and support

1. If there is an update available in Neon, the same update is available in Confluence.
2. All you have to do is hit print-screen on the keyboard and then upload the resulting bmp file to imageshack.com and then post the link. I can't reproduce the issue you are talking about in Poster view.

tboooe Wrote:Good point and thank you....do you think MYSQL has something to do with it? I could get Sickbeard to initiate a full library scan instead of just updating a particular show folder...

I'm using mysql aswell, I don't think it has something to do with that, but i'm not a developer.

I would think that a full library scan would do the job, but one question, is the update per show working for you in sickbeard? because I had the impression that it was broken since dharma (sickbeard was using the old http api) I know there is a ticket about this on sickbeard's google code page, but it's not marked as fixed.

For myself I use local file and the tbn are generated by sickbeard.

hmmm..let me check that Sickbeard is able to do a library update. Also, I am using a shared Thumbnails folder too...

Well that's a bug. I see you are in file mode, the same thing doesn't occur in the Library view. The dvd hiding out in the background shouldn't be there and will be removed this weekend. Smile

Great skin Stoli

I know you are in Florida, but is it possible for the skin to scrape UK film ratings rather than US ?
A mod has been done for Confluence and Xperience to enable this feature, but i wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to start with Neon.

Good question. I know the images and code are there for UK ratings, but I don't know how the scrapers determine which one to pass. Simply changing my region to the UK and rescraping didn't seem to do it.

Anyone else in the UK (or elsewhere) care to chime in on this one?

Hi Stoli, quick question and apologies if its been answered somewhere before in the previous 75 pages Wink The main menu when it scrolls doesn't continuously scroll, it gets to the end of the menu items then jumps to the start of the list again which looks a little odd to me, is this intentional and am I making any sense??

Thanks

Where else would you have it go? Smile

It's the same behaviour in almost all skins and the nature of a fixedlist.


- nemulate - 2011-03-12

I know why it looks odd now! When I get to the end of the menu list the next item isn't dimmed out like in other skins, check Aeon and you'll see what I mean I hope?


- tboooe - 2011-03-12

Stoli, just a little headsup...I was running an old version of Neon and noticed in the music section, Song View for artist without folder.jpg images that your fallback image was a perspective shot of a CD rack in a music store and the background was the piano keyboard. In the latest release, for artists without images Neon shows the piano keyboard for both the focused image as well as the background. I really like the previous way you had it. Perhaps you can extend this for all music files, i.e. use folder.jpg as the smaller focused image and fanart.jpg for the background?

buzz_kill Wrote:to me the blue font is too contrasting.

Agreed. Depending on the background, it's hard to read what's on the screen. Skin looks interesting so far though! Love the weather feature.

Good morning to all of you

@ Stoli
There was an update today. I downloaded it eventhough there was again the message ( download failed ) and the process was permanently 0%.
In another Skin there was also an update and there was not any problem to download it and the process was 5-10-95 % .
The DVD case removed completely from the right-low position eventhough i would like it to be in a higher position.
Thank you for your try.

Settings > Appearance > Skin > Colors. 11 different options

I have nothing to do with the repository. They grab the skin automatically from my git repo and then redistribute it.

The DVD case was not supposed to be there, it was part of a different view, Slim List. Before you ask, no I will not add it back and second, slim list is in library views only atm.

Thanks,
