I like this skin but its not very compatible through the tv. its all a bit small. you should take a leaf out project mayhem, that is superb for tv viewing, aprt from the video controls.

Great skin - have been using for months now with no major issues. I have a couple of potential bugs / minor suggestions:
It occurs when going into a sub-menu (that pops out from the side) off the main menu (eg, when you click system, the sub menu has options for settings, skin, etc). I'm sure you used to be able to exit the sub-menu to go back up to the main menu, but now you seem to have to press the left (sometimes twice in the case of the system menu) in order to get out. If this is not a bug, would be good if the equivalent to the escape or backspace key could take you back to the main menu.
One other thing, that I'm hoping isn't a feature request, is that the Info List view doesn't seem to work properly in files mode (fine in library view). Instead of displaying the plot, nothing is shown, though the cover art is shifted to the left to allow a space for the plot etc.

Skunk.....I guess I'm another jumping from the MediaStream bandwagon. I just tried Horizonz, and I'm not having a single issue, but MediaStream is just draining my RAM. Sorry Team RazorFish........

I've just updated to xbmc 8.10 and found that video playback would not work at all with MediaStream. I updated to v0.99 and found the same problem. All other skins seem to work fine.
This is a real frustration, as I love this skin and really don't want to go back to one of the other ones.
Any ideas/suggestions?

Totally unrelated, but is there any way to have two different movie views. One that will have the regular movies, and one that will have those I have for my kids. At the moment, the few my wife and I intend to watch are lost amongst the pile we have for the kids, requiring us to untag the kids movies as movies, and instead browse for them via the Videos Menu. Which loses all the nice artwork and synopsis. Can I even add a shortcut on the home menu to another folder, even if it isn't a TV view, just to get straight to the kids movies without navigation?

People with memory issues that use MediaStream check my Signature.
The 720p fanart ( and MediaStream) are draining RAM from your xbox. To help with this, you need to down-scale your FanArt to 960X540, and use MediaStream 0.95 or lower.
I recently updated XBMC ( to the stable build) from Beta 2. (I kept using 0.95, when 0.96 gave me trouble under Beta 2). After the XBMC update, I started having MAJOR issues (with fanarty loading and video playback using ANY version of MediaStream).....so I decided to ditch MediaStream. But I Can't.....I love it! So I decided to try and get it running smoother. After I replaced 100 Fanart pics with the downsized (960X540) fanart, I've had very noticable changes in the speed of navagation, and fanart loading. Plus my videos play.....all of them!
Hope this info helps out other xbox users who want MediaStream.
