OUTDATED - MediaPortal - Playback - Part 4

This post is already outdated, MovingPictures 0.7.5 won't scrape backdrops anymore as of May 2010

When you start MediaPortal it should look like this...




This is the modified List View: Almost transparent to get a full view of the backdrop.

The "Rating" info doesn't scrape anymore so with a little bit of xml editing you can remove it:

This is the vanilla Filmstrip View:

Notes:

I modified MediaStream skin so it will look different than the default.

You can modify it yourself assuming you have a basic knowledge of xml / html.

Here's the file that you're going to edit: (It's not that hard)
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\MediaStream\movingpictures.xml
The image files:
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\MediaStream\Media\

The posters and backdrops are located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures
You can change the location of the backdrops and posters in the MovingPictures advance settings.

The backdrops and posters are downloaded from http://www.themoviedb.org/. You can also upload your own backdrops.
