Different Skin for MVP

[mthornton]

Is there a way to specify a different skin for MVP than the one used on the PC?

no

Sub,

Please consider adding this ability to a future release. The display on TV is so limited compaired to a pc it would be nice to specify a seperate skin for the pc and PVR.

Ok, I've added the ability to specify the MVP skin separately from the PC skin in the next release.

Thank you.

That's great. But this means that you probably need the ability to specify a seperate set of plugins for both and MVP and PC. One of the reasons I say this is the default exit plugin does not show up on the MVP, however the optional shutdown plugin does. I would like to have the ability to remove at least that one from the list.

No, sorry I wont be doing that.

The Plugin is to code for it. The exit as with the DVD player do not show up on the MVP because they know they dont work properly on the MVP and it was coded for it. The shutdown plugin could code for it but it may have a benifit via MVP access so it was not removed.

This is something that has to be coded into the Plugin. Here are the two examples I can think of.
XRecord
You can pick what menu options you want separate for the MVP and Computer. It could be made to not show up one on or the other if needed.

Video Archive / DVD2MPEG
You can pick if you want DVD2MPEG want to show up on the MVP

If you want I can send you a version on the shutdown plugin that will let you pick if you want it to show up on either the Computer or MVP or both.
If the author/s dont mind I can post it to wiki too.

I think it would be valuable to post it. My wife has tried to use the shutdown plug-in a few times and ask why she can not watch TV in the other room .
