NextBlue skin for npvr

[Northpole]

@XJW, gEd, b00sfuk,

Thanks for the input! I'll take a look at resolving those issues with the next update.

XJW is correct in that there is another version of the TV guide skin that doesn't have the channel numbers listed. Just backup the original guide.xml under the TV Guide subdirectory and rename Guide_No_Channel_Num.xml to guide.xml and that will give you the alternate TV Guide skin. As XJW has pointed out, it does cause problems with the length of the date field on some display resolutions.

Guide_No_Channel_Num.xml - ahh, it wasn't obvious enough.....ok, will give it a go. :-D

@NorthPole, one other thing I've added (back) in is the curent time on the info screens when playing. sub added this in not long ago to the default skin. I just added this line into players\video.xml

Code:

<Text text="@currentTime" location="0,5" size="98.45,100" font="WhiteText" align="Right"/>

OK, I'll add that also. Thanks

@Northpole, this is still the best skin I've found. Another tweak I've made is to remove the white bullet from the right of the date/time on most screens. I could not see the reason for it, am I missing something is is it just asthetic?

I just deleted this line from the global.xml

Code:

<Image source="\_common\BulletWhite.png" location="97.5,31.25" size="2.3,31.25" fixedAspectRatio="true" />

No, there is no reason for the white bullet dots other than asthetics. I'm glad you like the skin! I've been busy with real life lately... but as soon as I get some time, I'll be updating the skin with some of the suggestions people have posted.

Ping. Are you still there ? Hope all is well.

Yep... I'm working on the changes from 2.5.5. and also incorporating the suggestions that people have posted previously. I hope to have something soon.

I don't know if this will automatically get fixed by the changes being made to update NextBlue for the 2.5.5 nPVR changes, but I've been having problems getting the current version of TV Listings/Recordings working (details in this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post441265. It is possible it is just something on my system, but TV Listings/Recordings works fine with the default skin, so I suspect an incompatibility (I have copied the plugin files to both the default skin and the NextBlue skin folders). I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it...I'll wait patiently (or at least try...patience is not always my strong suite) for the update and we'll see if that fixes things. Thanks for your work on this great skin!

TV Listings / Recordings issue is solved at http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.p...d=1#post441265. There is a new global.xml file posted there that fixes everything as a patch until the update to NextBlue comes out. Just wanted to update for anyone reading through here.
