[RELEASE] MediaStream_Redux (My Remake)

good job - gonna test this on the apple tv to see how it runs...

This looks fantastic. What a great combination of functionality and artistic appeal. Might have to switch primary skins!

Hi,

I tried this skin earlier tonight, and I do really like the layout over the standard skin.

I was wondering if you have tested this under Linux? I don't seem to be able to navigate to the "hidden" menus which you say is shown by an arrow at the side.

Also, does it support the Lyrics plugin when playing music (this might be configurable by one of these hidden menus, but I can't navigate to it)?

And: The "home" menu has no backgrounds, so everything is very black.

Good work, though.

i'm impressed it took this long...........

If your using a mouse you wont be able to get to them you need a keyboard or a remote
but in home you just press right arrow on any that have the > icon on them
As for lyrics its not in the music osd (yet) but you can make a quicklaunch on home for now with skin settings (right of "Configure the system")

As for Black backgrounds your XBMC is too old Babylon isn't new enough you need svn versions

Very nice addition, as a new user of XBMC I found it all to easy to get lost in the original MediaStream menus

awesome stuff, thanks!

looks good.

one thing about picture window image wrap. the original would show the thumb (guessing) of the highlited picture, then background load the image. this worked well for picasa plugin.

your version does not do that. it stays on the image that loaded until the new one is finished loading. is this the way the new image loading works?

I am not using a mouse, using a remote. I did work out that a blue glowing arrow means a "hidden" menu. So that works. FYI: I am using a CRT so some things on the edge can be difficult to see depending how good you have things setup.

Haha... OK, I did not notice the "move right" on the Settings menu, honestly I didn't.

Thanks heaps for that info, it seems like I may be able to do whatever I need in that bit.
