[RELEASE] Back Row (Skin)

I have enabled "Use TV Logo Wrap Views". But, no info is showing, only the logo strip in the bottom and the fanart is showing. I am using posters by default. The 1st image is showing a banner, is it banner.jpg?



The artist logo looks awesome in the music OSD.
Btw, how can I activate muisc artist logos in the OSD and other views?

You can add the artist logos in the album views in the music library. Also you can show the album, cdart and the artist logo above the Home menu strip.

Anything new about the Channel-Logo<->Clearart Overlapping-thingy?

Can you tell me, how to deactivate the studio logo behind the Show-Logo (xml-wise) ?

It's a bit weird that you're getting this glitch - /be best to diagnose it I suppose.

Could you let me know what build of XBMC you're using and what OS please? (The type of xml fix will be dependant on what build of XBMC you're using).

#Edit - actually I think I might have spotted something that could cause it if you don't put your episodes in season folders - I've updated the svn with the fix

You were right! I just tested it by putting some episodes in season folders and it worked..the glitch is gone Thank you very much! (especially for the fix)

No worries - thank you for prompting me to fix it!

Hi,

Thanks again for this excellent skin - my ATV 2 is loving it!

Is there away for when I click on the Music menu item, it can go straight into my music library instead of my having to select it from the menu?

Thanks in advance

Hi ady - yeah I always thought that by bringing up the context menu over an item in the music library and then selecting "make default" would have done that but I just tried it and it didn't stick until I closed down XBMC and restarted it then it remembered. See if that does what you need - might be a bit hit and miss though but easier than having to alter the skin.

Please guide, sharpe

Well the OSD stuff is just there - providing you have the logo in place then it should show up when you select the main music OSD (visualiastion screen). The only other place that I have added artist logos, so far, is in the album info dialogue - which again providing you have the logo should just show it. There's no skin setting or anything like that.

I love the FanArt view. It has the largest view of fanart (with icons) of any view in any skin. That is, it has the largest view that does not have portions of the fanart covered.

Bug fix:

In Eden RC2 the FanArt view displays 9 icons (a.k.a. thumbnails, DVD covers). But scrolling with PageUp and PageDown moves by 13 icons. This leaves 3 icons which are missed every time PageUp or PageDown is used. Can this be fixed? I am using the built-in Back Row skin, which I presume is v 3.5.2. The screen is 1280x720, full screen. BTW, in Dharma with Back Row v 3.2.7, PageUp and PageDown worked correctly, moving by 10 icons each time.

Feature requests:

1) Offer a less bold font (&/or smaller) similar to Confluence. This would be especially nice on the list view of TV Seasons, and TV Episodes pages. (I know there are options for default, Arial, and Large.) And yes, I prefer the Back Row list layout to the reversed layout in the new Confluence.

2) Have an option to disable the movie information to the right of the fanart. It makes the screen look "busy". Replace the information with a) wallpaper, b) black, or c) the movie cover - the same way movie sets work.

Thanks very much.
