What version of XBMC and what platform are you running it on?

I use those views for TV and can't remember every seeing anything like that bug. Has anyone else seen something similar?

looks very nice.

unfortunately the switch between the movies in media preview works not flawless like in the confluence skin.

Not sure what you mean? Do you mean the smoothness when navigating a specific view for movies? If so then the code changes mentioned above should help when I release the next version.

In every version do you see this bug, i'm using linux,windows newest svn und this bug you can see when you select a serie und then switching back you see this for a very short (for me long) time. I could make a video if you want to

No need for a video, I'm just concerned that I haven't seen it. Will have to check it out properly tonight. Thanks for the feedback.

great, I saw this in the first release but was to lazy to post hope you can fix this! btw. are there any previews of your new skin? maybe some concept/mockup pictures?

Nope, far too early for public viewing at this time I'm afraid as I'm still trying to finalise the character and feel for the new skin. Once I'm happy with it and am sure it's heading in the right direction then I may post some screenshots but it'll stay mostly under wraps until it's ready.

thats exactly what i mean

So in versions later than MediaStream v1.60, it will become smoother to navigate through lists (whether it being movies, episodes, or shows)? There were a couple of post previously that mentioned jerkiness with the version they tried, but I'm not really sure if they mean the same as what I found. If it is, then you have my sincere apologies that I repeated it again.

What I instantly noticed was that scrolling through any type of list is very choppy, especially when I hit page down. The letter that used to smoothly appear, showing what letter you are currently on when you held down page down, does no longer appear and the picture is just skipping instead of smoothly scrolling.
I changed back to MediaStream 1.0 and it's smooth again. I am running Jauty Jakalope with XBMC 9.04 so that might have to with it? Or did the power requirements change (my current box is not a speed demon)?

Sounds like your XBMC is well out of date, try updating it to at least 9.10 (Camelot) and see if that works any better for you.

I'll be releasing a newer version in the next day or two which should (hopefully) smooth things out a bit more.
