i'm so excited, installing now

[Fatman_do]

Hope I didn't forget something.

Well I did one thing.

I wanted to include in the credits, everyone who gave any feedback, but just now remembered it.

I just want to send out a tremendous thank you to everyone who has tried this skin out, and who has even posted comments of some nature. This skin, and interactive plugin developed by McBainUK, was designed to give the user unprecedented control over the appearance of GB-PVR.

Feel free to drop a note for any request.

what am i doing wrong? i downloaded and the install seemed to go smoothly. when i open GB-PVR on my computer it shows the community skin which i allowed the install to set as the default. But on my MVP it uses nouro regardless...

[McBainUK]

I don't have an MVP but on the MVP tab in the config app it seems you can set the MVP skin. Have you done this?

[cginzel]

apparently i did some how except i don't ever recall doing so... i wasn't even aware of that feature. i just set it to the default so maybe that will cause it to track the current skin selection on the general tab? i'll check when i get home... thanks!

Posted link to version 2.0.3 on wiki (Link in my signature line). This is the official GB-PVR v0.99.5 release.

FYI 2.0.2 was supposed to be this release, but I had to add one line to the OSD. 2.0.2 was only up for a few hours, and will still work, just won't reflect muted color in OSD.
