Please make this an option as the banner view is perfect imho.

Just pushed an update:

Added support for Next Aired Date in TV Views
Modified Full Screen Info and Paused Screen
  • Smaller top menu

  • Added support for choosing either ClearArt, Logo or Poster image
  • Removed Plot

If your Info in view while watching a TV show doesn't display the ClearArt/Logo correctly, just select the correct option in Settings > Metropolis > Video Settings

Hi Stoli, love the skin..

I would like to suggest 2 improvements though, to make it perfect in my eyes..

1. have to toggle in the skin settings that when you go to the video section, it defaults to the file view (or not)

2. on the media info screen add a place somewhere to display the actual name and location of the media file. (sometimes when I add new files it picks the wrong info and then it makes it easier to see which file it actually was.. now I have to change to confluence and then back again..)

Keep up the great work!

I'm totally against this unless it can be disabled. I don't want extra clutter.

@Steveb - thanks for that, already added to the skin as a sub item of TV Shows.

No probs, happy to help! I noticed you integrated PseudoTV with the latest push. Smile I've updated my version quite a bit and added channel config + advanced channel rules. The config xml's are a bit of a pain to code so feel free to nab them to save some time. Wink

I really like this view also and was wondering if it had been completed and added to Metropolis, I did not see it in the latest release, but I've been know to overlook things.

Stoli, I love this skin!!!! Thanks for keeping it alive. Also, thanks to everyone else who is helping Stoli out.
