PatrickBateman Wrote:Hey,
Hmm.. I've tried changing the settings on tv series but tvseries Seems to follow whatever changes I make in movies? If I enable cases in movies, it seems to check the box in tv series too... When I uncheck it in tv series, it's unchecked in movies...

I'll try another fresh install... I may have borked something lol

I never noticed the logo downloaded before lol it must be hidden to the right is it? Would it be possible (for those menus that have more options) to have the buttons reduced in size so they are all displayed on screen at once, or perhaps add a small ">" type logo to indicate more options available?

As for that new screen shot you posted. This is shaping up to be a very nice update indeed. That skin looks amazing... I love way you have implemented the small screen, it's done wonderfully, you have a good eye for detail and it really shows. What a show piece!! Amazing work, the anticipation is killing me Laugh

I'll try a quick reinstall of the skin and xbmc to see if it "unlinks" the tvseries and movies view settings and report back, but at the moment they seem to follow each other, which is a Tad strange as I'm sure (as you say) that previously I was able to do this...

On a side note...
Do you happen to know, If I install a xbmc nightly build into a folder called "c:\program files\xbmcx" will it run and still use my current "user profile" etc successfully?

The reason I ask, is, I'll do this the moment the new skin is released as it is not compatable with the current 10.1 build... And this enables me to fall back to 10.1 should I encounter any bugs/issues with the xbmc nightlys Big Grin

Thanks again for all your hard work, this is looking to be a monumental upgrade and I for 1 can't wait Smile

OK, you know what ? i'll Disable the "show Cases" From the TV Show Menu, i've fixed a lot such settings, so if something is enabled, the other option isn't visible anymore, that way i'll remove all this confusion. I'm working on ... so be a bit patient and everything goes fine Smile

I don't know if nightly builds are backward compatible, as i know there are database conflicts with nightly and stable release. I was wondering if there's a possibility to have both xbmc's installed, but i don't think it's possible. I have all setup with nightly build on my test machine, but my htpc is still on 10.1 ...

Great stuff Big Grin

Yea, I will run the new skin on my new little test box too Smile I'm just thinking of ways I can get it on the big screen (the main HTPC) for all to see Big Grin I think your right, a side by side install will probably cause some conflicts...

Yea, the tv series cases is still linking to my movies? I don't know why, but it's ok, I'll switch to banner view for the time being as this too is a beautiful view.

Thanks again for everything you have done, If you lived near me, I would defo buy you a few beers to say thank you, for all your hard work Nod

Yes, because 1 of 99 skins isn't displaying banners as it should, sure Smile

I'm going to see if there's a possible modification for both compatibility ...

Tested with (banner wall view) , there will an option in extended Mod Settings to enable support for TV Show (banner.jpg) (poster.jpg) (landscape.jpg), if disabled it will show the cashed thumb ... hope i can push this on the nightly build release ...

wow, that's a fast response! I hope it works.

By the way, I was thinking of creating a tv show view and a movie view that work for smaller tv screens. Would there be interest in adding this into Cirrus extended? It already has a large number of views... I'll work on mockups so you can see if it works within the Cirrus ext. frame.

Another thing, is there a way to have a different view for the seasons and episodes in tv shows? Right now, if you select an option for the view in episodes, it also changes the view for seasons. I don't have a lot of shows where I keep more than one season around, but it'd be nice to have views that work for the different parts.

One last thing.. in the bannerwallview and vertbannerwallview, the white around the active banner isn't very obvious. If I don't have the artwork with the show title, I have no idea which one is active. I guess it should get a few extra pixels.

It's already that way, you can have different views for tv shows, seasons and episodes ... I have TV Shows Right List Banners, Seasons Rightlist and episodes Fanart View ... so i can't understand why it's not working for you ... Smile

Sure you can post some mockups and we'll see if we'll add more views ...

The selected show is brighter than the non selected, i'm going to remove all the fat round borders, as i don't like them

Thanks for your great support.

Hey butcha,

I've found and tried the "get logo" Option in tv series, however when ever I try to download any artwork this way, I receive an error "error downloading file" this is for any tv series and any option (banner/logo/clearart etc..)

All other download options within the skin work fine, net connection is fine and bizarrely I can view all remote banners, I just can't download any of them without receiving an error?

Ps..
I think a ">" arrow would be good idea as I totally never knew that button excisted, I thought "cinema" was then end and had no idea there was more to the right Blush

Thanks again, I'll see if I can see anything in the log, or if you could let me know if you are experiencing the same issue.

Thanks again for everything

Paddy,
