I like that Team RazorFish is considering new veiws for poster art, but what about veiws for people who use DVD Box Icons ( like the ones found on MediaIcons.org ). Is there any veiws or skin options that could be added to compliment that style?

I enjoy the look of the Tilted DVD Boxes and find it to be a much "cleaner" look for me, but a tilted DVD Box looks very sloppy when it is framed or boxed in.

Any way that Team RazorFish could consider something in their skin to further compliment the Tilted DVD Box style icons?

Can you post a screenshot of MediaStream with your tilted thumbs so we can get an idea of what we are working from?

Hello,

First of all I'd just like to say great skin, fantastic design I really appreciate your work.

I'm using 0.92 at the moment but have also used several previous versions. I'm on the latest T3ch release of XBMC and it's solely installed on the Xbox, installed after a fresh format of a new 80gb HDD.

I have searched through the forum for info on this but haven't found any. Apologies if I've missed it.

I seem to have problems playing video files and it only seems to happen when using the MediaStream skin. Video files can abruptly stop playing at random points even though the cache is at 80%. Also when using the left, right, up and down arrow buttons on the remote to jump forward and back, the video abruptly stops after I've done it. The same happens with fast forward and rewind. It seems to happen more with TS files recorded from satellite streams than anything else.

Also after opening maybe 3 or 4 video files in a row, it just stops opening video files altogether and does nothing when I try to play them. If I restart XBMC from the power menu then all is well for the next 3 or 4 videos, then it stops playing them again.

I've tested extensively when using other skins (xTV, Focus, PM3) and it never happens. All of the videos are from network shares on either a samba NAS share (direct cable link through a switch) or a Windows share on a PC (wireless connection but solid and good bandwidth).

I don't see how it can be your skin, especially as nobody else seems to have mentioned it, but I can't get around the fact that it never happens unless I'm using MediaStream.

Hope you can help, or categorically tell me that it's nothing to do with MediaStream. Either response would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Exclamation  Main Title Font Post: #486
I still have trouble with (at least) one character of the main title font (CAPS) (used in Portuguese language):

"É" apears as "È".

Is there a quick fix?

Thanks,
FragMenthor

Hehe, I was meaning post a screenshot of the skin with those type of posters in place. So that it shows us what it currently looks like so we can work out what should be changed to get it to work better with that type of thumb. Laugh

You're right, titled icons don't suit a frame at all.

Maybe just an option to not display frames is all that's needed?

Maybe an animation to "pull" the DVD Box forward or inlarge it, to show which movie is highlighted. I'll work on a mock up and post to show you what is in my head.....LOL
