I ask because I have been fretting about what hardware to purchase to replace all my xboxes. It seems the builds/AIO solutions that can handle the CPU intensive skins are $300+ while the likes of the ATV2 and the rumoured Google TV derived xbmc box are a much more wallet friendly $100 but are not powerful enough to smoothly handle the more CPU intensive skins. I heard Aeon Nox mentioned as a CPU intensive skin and had a looksee. Didn't like it at all and how cluttered it looked. If Cluttered = CPU heavy then my decision is made. I don't need the more powerful $300+ boxes I much prefer the look of the likes of Welo and if that means I don't need a $300 box to run it on then thats just the icing in the cake

I haven't got one, however from comments made to date, Welo runs fine on the ATV2. I'd hang on though for confirmation from a ATV2 user!

Hey Liquidskin, I use an ATV2 And I'm quite Impressed! Performance is really good compared to other skins, only thing I noticed is that the movie coverflow is a little slower than refocus (which is the skin I currently use since it seems to be the only one running acceptable on the atv2) will use Welo from now, and hope you will continue this project. Thumps up!

Any chance of porting this skin to Plex? There is a serious shortage of good skins over there.

Hey lbbeurmann,

Not by me! Wink

However i have no problem with a Plex skinner porting it when it's a little further down down the line in terms of development. Smile

Cheers

Is it possible to somehow make the banner view refer to banner.jpg, rather than folder.jpg?

liquidskin76 · 2012-07-08 09:13

No problem. Will add support for banner.jpg in next release. Cheers!

Brilliant! Thanks!

Just a couple of suggestions. Overall this is a kickass skin!

Can you remove the HD logo where the rating is? Im not sure why it shows "HD" for 720p and nothing for 1080p.
please add an option to remove the H.264 logo.
And if possible can you make tv show clipart smaller? They are usually pretty low resolution so when its to stretched it looks bad.

Most importantly ClearArt for TV shows!

For what it is worth, my newly 1080p version of Firefly conveniently shows a "1080" logo as well as the HD-badge:

The files are huge .mkv's with "1080p BluRay" pur in the filename by SickBeard.
