I see it. It's just for the next aired script, but I've fixed it. Also fixed the unmatched parenthesis in DialogAddonSettings.xml.

Need to wait for Stoli to pull it, but it's not really a critical issue anyway.

How do I fix it please?
Thanks

is there a way to get the menu in movie and serie view to the right and not centered every time the video stops it get the menu with the options

Stumbled across this today: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-coolest-f...center-si/

Looks like Metropolis made a short list of cool skins for XBMC. Cool!

IMHO, it deserves to be at the top of that list

Just saw another little niggle in the skin. If you skip back/forward on a video you get director at the top of screen, and if you press info you get the synopsis. But if you pause you get both and they overlap each other.
My other one is a question. I don't use the library for my music, but each time I enter through the menu item it turns it back on, any ideas?
Just started using the skin and wanted to thank you as well. It is fantastic.

I noticed with one of the latest updates a "Pictures' option was added to the Addons menu, but it is off-centered and shows a blue bar instead of the normal orange font when selected.

Same thing with the TV Guide menu option.

Both of these have been fixed. Just waiting on Stoli to pull it.

This has been fixed. You'll see it in the next release Stoli makes.

Although it appears to never show the Director now if the Plot is present at all (not just visible). That probably wasn't intentional, but I don't know.

Does it do this in Confluence too?

Just tried out metropolis this morning for the first time and I think it's definitely a keeper! Is there a way to reverse the watched items flag so that only items that are unwatched/new will show the icon? This is a bit more practical for me since I can see immediately when something new is available. This is the method used by reFocus and is an option in Aeon Nox.

I also notice that when using the icon home screen view (which is stunning btw..), the selections moving from left to right is quite laggy. It's around the "favourites/settings" area where this occurs mainly. Anyone else notice this? When browsing the settings area, it's silky smooth (this was tested on a new install of xbmc and was laggy even before adding any library etc..)

Thanks for everyone's great work

Try turning off Recently Added in the settings and see if that fixes the jerkiness for you. If it does, then I've already fixed that issue.

If not, let me know and I'll figure it out.
