ML2 ScreenSaver not diplaying song information

[kram_0]

Hi Psycik,
I've started using a skin from the Community skin but now your screen saver will not display album art or any currently playing song info other than time elapsed. Blue theme works fine. This happens with both 5.2 and 6.1 using your community skin.xml. I tried using the Blue skin's ML2 skin.xml but had the same problem (could it be in the base skin somewhere?).
Are you able to point me in the right direction as to where I should be looking?
Great plugin by the way!!!
Matt.

note to self, read the whole post before responding...I just went off and typed a book in response to you about activating the panel

Maybe post your skin\blue\panels\ML2Panel.xml and Skin\Community\ML2Panel.xml This is where the screen saver stuff is drawn from...

Thanks, I took a look using a file compare util and the only differences between the two are that the community skin looks for the images in a "..\resources\" directory.

Ahh, that doesn't seem right. I'll check my one at home tonight (in about 5 hours)

That is incorrect, it should be "\_CommonImages\"

That directory name isn't in any of the panels in the CommunitySkin distribution. Re-apply whatever theme you are using with the SkinPlugin and it will overwrite the panels.

Psycik, if the panels I am supplying are out of date, please let me know.

yeah i'll look tonight at my ones, something funny was happening on my one at home and I seemed to be using the blue files even though my skin was set to community (i.e. the panels were not there.).

I noticed that too after upgrading to ML2-6.1, but did not pay proper attention. For some mysterious reason the skin was set to the blue files whereas I had thought I set it to community. I think I had to set it two or three times.

Hi Psycik/Fatman_do,
I've re-applied the Sassari theme that I was using and that seems to have fixed it. I tried manually changing to "_CommonImages" before re-applying but there must have been somethig else in there that I've corrupted along the way.
I did find that half of the album art gets chopped off the right side on the screen saver now. I've modified the ML2 panel XML file to pull the album art to the left 50. That did the trick for me. I don't know where that problem has stemmed from.
Thanks for you help.
Matt.

I've put an updated community skin zip file in the V6.2 release thread.
