Never mind about the view settings, found out how to change to "poster" bias instead of banners. D'oh! Smile

... and again for:
WED. 14 MAR. 20...

maybe if you can s-t-r-e-t-c-h it out a few more pixels. so that it's not too wide, but wide enough for when this happens.
or, maybe set the date format to one of these:
14.MAR.2012
WED 14.03.2012
MAR. 14, 2012

keep up the great work!

One issue i've noticed, and i'm not sure if it's a skin issue, or a TV-Tunes issue, but with Fanart enabled (Home and Category level), when browsing a TV series the fanart appears for a split-second, but as soon as TV-Tunes plays the "theme.mp3" file for that series, the backdrop returns to the default Rapier backdrop for the duration of the tune. Once the tune ends, the backdrop again changes to the proper fanart.

I'll look into it.

It's all mixed together. Is this by design?

There's no way to separate them atm.

I'll use a shorter format.

any plans for adding movie resolution overlays to the movie poster?
Something like this:

That bluray strip on top of posters? Probably not. I personally don't like them.

Hi, I love the skin, but there is one small tweak I want to make. How would I go about changing to episode specific fan art in the list info 2 view?

Here's a screenshot, I want to change the picture of the cast to a screenshot from the episode:

Aeon MQ3 manages to separate different classes of fanart by category (TV series / Films) but it does require the use of the Artwork Organizer plugin.

I figured this out myself. For anyone who is interested, here is what I did:

I removed the following from ViewsEpisodes.xml at line 896

Code:

<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(EnableEpisodesListInfo2ExtraThumbs)">ListInfo2PanelExtraThumbs</include>

I added the following to ViewsEpisodes.xml at line 896

Code:

<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(EnableEpisodesListInfo2ExtraThumbs)">ListInfo2LeftPanelEpisodeThumb</include>

And I added this to Views.xml

Code:

    <include name="ListInfo2LeftPanelEpisodeThumb">

        <control type="image">

            <posx>40</posx>

            <posy>116</posy>

            <width>542</width>

            <height>304</height>

            <texture background="true" diffuse="covers/list-info-3-fanart-diffuse.png">$INFO[ListItem.Thumb]</texture>

            <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">scale</aspectratio>

            <fadetime>FanartCrossfadeTime</fadetime>

        </control>

    </include>

Then just make sure you enable Extra Thumbs in the view settings.

Here's a screenshot of what this does:

Hi Scarfa,

Yesterday I have tried the new SuperTV add-on and noticed that it has some serious issues with Rapier (works ok in Confluence).
Could you have a look at it?

Thank you for your great job
(my favorite skin since forever Smile

peace Scarfa,

just speaking on mumu's post.
think you might see a little more of these requests with more and more EPG support

@ mumu -- i would suggest rtmpgui+ until Scarfa has a chance to think about this option. you can still get all the links -- nice and tidy! ;-)
