What do you guys think?

It was fun messing around with the animation effects. If anyone want this I will post the files.

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.

The view in this movie:

It's awesome!

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.
