I must strongly agree. Still lovin this theme, but I'm still hoping to see this implemented.

Keep up the great work!

There seems to be a minor bug with the current release. Whenever I try to play an avi/mkv for the first time it stutters for the first 3 seconds or so, the rest of the movie plays just fine. The second time I launch the same avi/mkv there is no stuttering.
If I switch to the default theme I do not see this bug, anyone else seeing this? It took me a while to pin this down, at first I blamed it on ffdshow/graphics drivers and reverted to older versions.

I am seeing this as well in Chocolate. I haven't tested in the absolute latest version, but Craigt I was wondering if you could look into this? Thanks

Hi Craig,

I love your plug-in and thanks for the excellent work! I have a couple of requests and questions...

When displaying the Detail view of a movie, the studios appear at the bottom right corner of the screen and overlay the media controls (play, stop, fast forward, etc.). Can these be relocated up more?

Similarly, when using Coverflow to scroll through the movie library, the aspect ration and studios are displayed in the upper left corner of this screen and overlay the Back arrow and MC icon. Can these be relocated down more?

Can icons for MPAA, aspect ratio, movie type be pulled from ImagesByName folders?

I have various movies whose mymovies.xml file contains a Type tage with the word Blu-ray ie. <Type>Blu-ray<Type>, and some of my other mymovies.xml file whose Type tag is <Type>DVD</Type>. Those with the DVD tag display a DVD icon on the Movie details page. Those with Blu-ray do not. What am I missing?

I also liked the way trailers played in a smaller preview window in the prioe version versus full screen now...

Thanks!

Craig I posted about this in another topic earlier and was wondering if you have noticed it and have a possible solution. When I load up media browser I have two libraries Movies and TV. On the EHS movies always loads up fine with the newest additions displaying poster art. However, when I scroll over to TV it is totally blank. Only when I start scrolling do the posters start to show up. Its almost like it is waiting for the metadata to load but it never does. I use metabrowser so all my poster icons are stored locally, and they do show up once I start scrolling through them. I was wondering if anyone else had a similiar problem when using chocolate? I am on Windows 7 64bit btw.

Checking in was wondering whats on the request list and whats not. I have a few more tweaks I'm looking for. Hows the next release coming craig, got a list of what changes are going to be implemented?

Hey all..

Like I said before, just trying to get simplicity out the door. I spent the weekend skinning it out in a black color scheme and still have a few tweaks to do to get the colors all working well.

I might very possibly have a pre-release available by the end of this week end. It will be far from perfect, but its just to give you guys a taste of what I've been up to. You never know, all chocolate supporters might drop chocolate for simplicity.... I know I have :)

Anyways... I will have another chocolate release that addresses some of the more major issues. And if there is still a huge demand for chocolate fixes, I will still be doing some work on it. :P

I have created simplicity in a way that will allow more colors down the road... Its not going to be as simple as throgs color solution... but at least its an option..

Anyways, hope you guys are excited for the release :)
