sassari - widescreen skin

The TV Guide is near perfect dottore! I love it! Some suggestions:

1) The red "recording" bar across the top is a little difficult to see. Would it be possible to increase the width of the bar or add a handle (see ugly screenshot) to make it a bit more visible?

2) The date at the top is too close to the time. It should probably be shifted left a little bit. Also, keep in mind that the latter months of the year use two digits so you'll want to account for that spacing as well.

Man, how cool would it be to have additional information like Genre, Channel number, Show Length, Ratings, etc. all appear in the new "right bar." Man dottore you are really onto something here! Excellent work! I look forward to future updates.

TV Guide looks good, with the text at the bottom, it has more space especially when I upgrade to SQLite

(at least this time the attached image isn't as large as the last one!)

there is little i can do about the problem with the date/time. in my configuration it only shows the day of the week!

well, anyways, here is another update fixing osd-issues, next-recording-panel on the main menu and the little red bar on the top of the tvguide.

Sorry to give you some bad news, tried the latest version and Main Menu still missing the end time on recording now

(ignore the attached tv guide)

The OSD has another problem,

[cameluk]

Try again with the main menu instead

[dottore]

couldn't you just switch to european date/time?

here's another version. it corrects the osd-problem and hopefully the next-recording-error on the main menu screen. now, i'm going to bed, see you tomorrow.

I love this skin but it gives errors each time GBPVR starts and also ramps up the CPU usage to 85% and slows the whole system down. It stays high until I shut it down. Rebooting doesn't help. When changing to another skin, all is back to normal.
Keep up the good work.

I had this same problem before. Make sure you disable your plugins as there is no support for them yet. I know Video Archive crashes GBPVR when using this skin. So far, only Bleep Bloop works with it. Theater can remain enabled but dottore hasn't skinned it so it may or may not show up. I haven't dared to try yet.

What version of the video archive plug-in are you using. I just downloaded your skin and tried it with my setup and it worked fine with the video archive plugin. If there is no specific skin defined the VA plug-in pulls its skin files from the blue skin. If you don't have the blue skin on your machine that would cause a problem. Could you post your gbpvr.exe.log file next time you have a problem so I can see where it is coming from?

Thanks

It is unrelated to the skin. I just posted a response to this in the other thread where you had raised this issue.

The line of code that the error is coming from is when the video archive plug-in tries to import a folder.jpg (or .png or .gif) into its database for a show. If the image is corrupt that will generate an error. I added try/catch logic around this code a few weeks ago in my version of the VA plug-in but I have not yet posted that to the wiki site. For now if you look in your archiver-mvp.log file you should be able to see what image it was trying to import and just delete it.
