MiniMeedia v0.80 Released (21/05/2009)

New t3ch release is out for all you xbox users, dated 21st May. That should include the required changes for the skin to work properly.

(I've updated the first post accordingly)

xbox users can also google "xbmc nightly builds"

skunkm0nkee have a look to scripts there isn't a background.

Again this skin with new build is incredible, my xbox has never run so smooth.

And using all features of xbmc. Thought this was never going to happen and you did it.

thx

I found a place where to download nightly builds for the ATV. Now everything is working nice and smooth. Here is the link, just in case anybody else might be interested:

Thank you

It wasn't my original intention to create a slim skin for the xbox at all. I intended to create a more minimal skin that would allow the media fanart, posters and other images to take centre stage and it just so happens that seems to work very well on the xbox (especially when compared to memory hungry, and texture intensive, skins like MediaStream and Aeon).

It works fantastically well (and very smooth with the new background stuff JM did) on my PC at home too. Still a few things I want to do with it but it's definitely getting there

Man you need to change that font it not fit with the entire design

I found a weird bug, TV fanart doesn't show up on episodes missing cached thumbnails. If you assign a thumb the fanart will show, but only for episodes with cached thumbs.

Some pictures to show what I mean:

episode with auto generated thumb and a random TV background appears instead of current show's fanart


previous screen shot assigned as episode thumbnail and the show's appropriate fanart appears

Hi skunkm0nkee, the skin is truly remarkable.

It totally fits all my needs but alas i am still stuck with a CRT 4:3 TV. Please please please with sugar on top, is there any chance there could be an option to enlarge the fonts a bit (preferably the Arial fonts)?
Right now the fonts are just readable (it does train my eyes constantly...hey maybe my optometrist would approve... ) and i think that just a step or two in font size would do wonders.
If not then ill have to use my Uni tuition money to buy an LCD TV ...

thx again for all your awesome work!

I'll look into it.

Off the top of my head I think I just display the fanart if it exists so it could be that XBMC doesn't assign the fanart image to the episode until the episode gets a thumbnail? Will have a play about and see if I can track it down

Hehe, thanks for signing up and using your first post for that opinion. It's not one I share or I wouldn't have used the font in the first place but thanks anwyay.
