i haven't seen the full license agreement so i could be wrong, but given the nature of the dell media experience i wouldn't be surprised if the 'third-party pictures' clause is referring to album artwork etc. pulled down as part of the cataloging process.

howdy!
i'm on a widescreen hdtv and applied the new default skin to xbmc. it seems there are some issues with the skin at 720p or 1080i. the top bar only runs half way across the screen and the buttons are positioned incorrectly when highlighted. this is also true of the text on the main menu buttons i believe. seems to be off-centered. i tried editing some of the xml files and resizing png files but couldn't get it to work right. this skin is awesome and can't wait to see the bugs worked out for widscreen hd users! thx.

for all this third party crap, dell is the third party, and its there graphics on top of the powerdvd player, this program is pretty basic, its just a gui ontop of powerdvd/windows media player.

just installed the 3-9-04 cvs w/the xbox media experience skinn and everything works fine except for the my weather part of it. checked the log file, and it seems like there are some problems with the myweather.xml and the loading of the skin (not changed - as in the official cvs).
-----------------------
10-03-2004 16:13:29 load default skin:[mediacenter]
10-03-2004 16:13:29 load skin from:q:\skin\mediacenter
10-03-2004 16:13:29 delete old skin...
10-03-2004 16:13:29 load fonts for skin...

10-03-2004 16:13:30 skin loaded...
10-03-2004 16:13:30 initializing skin
--------------------------
btw - internet connection ok, all files are in the correct xbox directories...
why would the "weather" xml-load go wrong? missing png's in texture file, the ref. to logo file, ....
just a bit stuck here!

hmmm...
am using the latest build (03.09.2004-proper-ind), so that should not be the problem (seems to be working for everybody else...?).
just in case, i did some .png updates from sourceforge (seemed to be missing some files from the "skin / mediacenter / pal / media " directory) without any changes.
so - still no action when selecting "my weather" from the main screen (just dead) - same error msg in logfile as previously.
everything else works...

with the risk of sounding like a complete lamer, where exactly do i find the xbox media experience skins for avalaunch, evox etc?
tried allxboxskins but not on there yet and the above link only seems to have the xbmc skin to download.
it does look quality and its a good idea having the same skins though multiple dash's .. gives it that 'factory' look.. nice!

does anybody know the difference between the new default skin and the xbox media experience you download separately? they look a little different. it's the fonts or something. anybody know?
