Minimalko's MediaStream Mod skin release

Hi Minimalko

I have 1 tiny feature request: could you please increase the contrast between the "watched" and "unwatched" icons?

Currently they look very similar unless you really look closely.

It's a great skin. Running very well on my xbox...

Well, it is all about changing the graphics of textures. If someone makes them looking better (which I doubt as they are already great) I have no problem including them.

OK - I'll have a play - can you tell me what the filenames are in textures.xpr?

Hi minimalko,

First off, I'd like to say I really like this skin and the modifications that you've done to it. It makes my tv look good.

But I run into a problem when I try to play any video. I can click it and I hear the click but nothing happens. If I keep clicking it I eventually get an error saying the playlist playback aborted cause there's too many consecutive failed items.

I'm running this on an xbox v1.0 with the newest xbmc build from T3CH.

Any advice from anybody would be appreciated

Thanks.

It's a memory issue the default textures pack uses too much memory for poor
old xbox to handle.
So 2 solutions reduce all fanart to 960x540 and use the light theme.

Or you could try my light textures pack with all new textures to use unrar the package and transfer to your skins folder this is the complete skin and new textures pack.
It will gain you about 4 to 5 extra mbytes of ram and that will cure your playback problems. http://www.mediafire.com/?snn3ogonyvw

Any problems downloading it let me know and i can email it it's only 7 megabytes

The file is missing, is this the same version that I find on the first page?

FYI minimalko, you may already be aware, but if not, xbmc svn now supports as many views as you want. So, no more need to create new views by removing/changing old ones.

Outstanding mod!
Makes a great skin even better. My favorite so far.

But I have a small grip with both your skin and the original.

Coverflow is by far my favorite visualization mode (ultra cool 3d effect). But the cover icons on it are too big, taking almost the whole screen. What I would really like is a smaller one (pretty much like your filmstrip view, just a little bigger) but still with the 3d effect.

Do you think it is a good suggestion?

Thx a LOT for your hard work.

You have asked this elsewhere!!!
