Wave - New skin for NPVR

[pcostanza]

I seem to be having some problems in the Recordings screen sorting the Recurring and Ready recordings. Neither my mouse or remote seem to make any changes. I'm pretty sure it worked previously but I now have about 8 Pending/Recurring items so I don't know if that makes any difference. Is it possible that this was broken in the update?

Things do seem a bit small now, pretty much all across the skin.

If you don't mind, would you be willing to edit the sizing in the global.xml?

You could try upping the "size=" value by 1 for each defined font, in the fonts section of the global.xml, until it look about right to you. It would give me a better idea of what font sizing to go for and from there I can set the text location and placement size for the entire skin.

Yep good catch. I missed a variable for the button list (name=) introduced in the latest version of nPVR. Unfortunately I missed it right across the skin. The xml attached should get you back up and running in the recordings plugin.

I'm still working away on this skin, and I've changed quite a bit of stuff since the last update. So I'll hold off on replacing the current version as long as this oversight isn't a deal breaker for other users.

I installed this skin over the weekend and I really like it - it looks excellent on my 42 inch LCD. The fonts look great as they are, although I can appreciate they might look a little small on smaller screens. Personally I wouldn't want them bigger though.

The only odd thing I've noticed is it's choice of channel logo in the recording screen. It correctly tells me that all the Pepa Pigs were from "five" on the list, but when you select an episode for some reason it brings up the BBC 1 logo.

Could you try the default skin and see if it does the same, please? Some of those quirks will be down to the beta nature of the app.

Yes, you're right, it does it in the default skin too. Never noticed as it doesn't actually show the logos, but the channel is different on the program info page than on the list page (where it is correct).

I did exactly that, +1 on every font size, and everything looks pretty good. I really didn't see any font I wanted bigger or smaller after that.

p.s. Sorry, I feel a bit like Goldilocks; papa bear's font is too big... mama bear's font is too small... baby bear's font is just right!!!

are those recordings imported from GB-PVR? I have the same thing, but only on imported shows. NPVR recorded shows have the correct channel both places.

Ah, yes they are imported from GBPVR. Not dared moved the recording over to npvr yet in case it misses some and I get into trouble!

Not at all, it's really useful info. It appears to be a combination of personal taste and screen size. Thanks for trying it out and coming back to me, at least I know it's not that far off - a little bit here and there.

Cheers
