This is for 4:3 TV.
Instruction:
Make another copy of MediaStream v0.88 and rename it to something else. Then overwrite with downloaded mod files. Set the resolution to 16:9 in appearance setting then calibrate to have black bars on top and bottom.
I use the font from PM3 because it's more readable on SD TV. Use "Massive" font set for better readability. Also the RSS feed in "Media Preview" is set id=2 so you need to edit the RssFeeds.xml in Userdata if you want a feed running in "Media Preview". I've included a sample so you can see.
Hope you like.
Hi, I dont know if anybody is actually using this but I have a little update and just want to share this to anyone who uses it.

So as you can see in the picture I've added a little trailer label that shows up when the selected movie has trailer. And as indicated if you press down the trailer will play.
I just thought this is convenient and easy for the noobie guests in the house to watch trailers for certain movies so if you want it you can download it here.

Hopefully we'll get something nicer for 4:3 TV from the team soon.

Is it possible to implement this mod into the official MediaStream skin?

That's a very sexy way of navigating through the media. If this was implemented I think it would add a lot of benefit to the skin. I'll have a chat with the chaps to see what they think.
It might be worth contacting the guy who did the mod to see how possible it all is.

It's already been posted in this thread somewhere.

I would hate you if you were Graham Norton, personally. Can you wear pink and dance?
Yeah, thought so!

Looks like a few people may have missed this first time round (I know I did) but based on the feedback in the Beautiful Mdofication (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=36968) thread I've had a look at the video and the animation on it is lovely. :grin:
I've sent a PM to anoobie about whether or not we can incorporate this into the skin and whilst I'm waiting to hear back I've implemented a rough version of it:
http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/3081/mediapreviewanimgx4.png
I've not incorporated all aspects of the mod as I've tried to keep it as consistent with other views as possible but the animation is pretty much identical.
For the real wow factor you have to see it in action! :grin: (Check anoobie's video)
Now just have to hope that anoobie will agree to us using it
Looks really great hope this will be available in 16:9.
Is there also an option show/hide info ?
I personally would like to hide them, so I can see more of the fanart backdrop.

There already is such an option in the current version skin, Hide Info for Media Preview - have you tried that?
No I didn't, Thanks looks good.
Still, this is a beautifull mod. with minimum of overlays when you hide the info.
Scrolling/flying covers I like it.
Hi, you guys can do whatever you want with the files I posted (they're not mine anyway I only did slight modifications of the xml files, if anything I should be the one asking for permission).
Anyway it would be an honor to have this mod in the official skin.
