2. Also, it looks like there's no animation (or something's wrong with it) in Poster Slide view, the watched overlay doesn't zoom in along with the poster, it just pops up full size. Looks a bit weird. This could just be my old and stupid Pentium 4 desktop PC telling me it needs an upgrade though. Smile

3. "Apps" in the "home" submenu goes to the addon manager, and so does "Addons". I assume "Apps" should be the old "Programs"?

Otherwise, keep it up, for a beta it's fully usable apart from a few glitches, but most of those have probably been reported already.

Of course I realise it is a beta so have some bugs/feature suggestions.

1) On the home screen with recently added turned on, unlike with movies and music, tv show thumbs don't really give what show it is. Maybe some labels or the like. I know when you actually select the 2 on the right they come up with names, but maybe all the time.

2) What does "use bolder plots" actually effect. Tried a few movie views but couldn't see a difference.

3) Same for "disable bread crumbs"

4) In settings, it still says Shade at the bottom of the screen.

5) In movies, poster popup view, there are no units after the duration.

6) When backing out of recently added, for both tv and movies, can you make it skip the middle menu and straight back to home screen.

7) TV Show recently added, you have the episode image for the selected, and then an episode name beside and show name on top. Beside the episode name, is it possible to also have the show name. Just an episode title when looking at a list doesn't really tell what it is. Also, it doesn't show the show summary in the bottom left, meaning the screen is very empty.

8) The banner for my shows comes up fine in the season list, however when i go deeper the same spot in episode list view doesn't show the banner.

9) In episode list view, the currently selected episode doesn't have a watched mark at all. Opposite for movies in poster popup, has for current movie but not for others.

Plus a request, any chance of custom backgrounds, even if heavily dimmed to keep with the theme of the skin.

Again great work. Can see it taking over from Confluence if the girlfriend finds it usable.



All of these issues have been corrected. Smile

it's because of caching, i don't refresh cache during bulk download.
if users go in library before using the script, the fallback will be put in cache.
as i've seen, the cache is refreshing itself in about 24h.

Great skin.

Does the beta link on the first page have these corrections implemented?

Not yet. I was going to give everyone a couple more days to find more problems, then update.

Makes sense.

I think I found a bug for you. On the home menu under music when I try to select one of the new Music icons or latest music nothing happens. For Movies and tv shows these icons work but not for music.

I can't get posters to display in TV guide..
Logos show fine, banners show fine, but posters are empty and I have run the LOGO downloader script and they do appear in TV Shows, but just not in guide.

Need to say this is a great skin and only one I found that has an actually usable music videos view. Smile

It uses folder.jpg. Make sure you have a folder.jpg in the root folders.
